Birthday Card - Hiking in the Swiss Alps - with Removable Hiking Boot Decoration

Do you know someone who would love a birthday card that captures the spirit of the Swiss Alps? This adventure-inspired card is paired with a removable hiking boot decoration that features iconic Swiss imagery perfect for anyone who loves hiking, exploring, or holds Switzerland close to their heart.

The wooden hiking boot includes details such as yellow Wanderweg signs, turquoise alpine lakes, mountain hiking trails and the most famous of all Swiss mountains -  The Matterhorn,. The decoration is attached to the card with a red satin ribbon, the boot sits against a backdrop of map contour lines, surrounding the birthday message:

"Happy Birthday, wishing you joy and adventure in the year ahead."

Once the decoration is removed, a printed version of the boot remains on the card—so the card still looks special when displayed.

The ornament is lightweight and flat, making it ideal for posting. Each boot is made from a digital collage of Judith's original ink paintings and illustrations, UV-printed onto sustainably sourced birch plywood and threaded with a satin ribbon.

The back of the boot can be personalised with a favourite hiking route, place name, or a short birthday message. Max characters per line: 12, including spaces.

Cards can be sent directly to the recipient with a handwritten message if posted within Switzerland. For international delivery, please visit my Etsy shop (info below).

Printed on luxurious 7 x 5 inch textured card and paired with a kraft envelope and postal protection card, this birthday card and gift in one is sure to be treasured.
