How We Created a Giant Birthday Card for England Superstar Trent Alexander-Arnold

At Photo Cutouts, we’re passionate about creating unforgettable moments, and our latest project with the English Football Association (FA) was a perfect example of just that! We had the exciting opportunity to design and deliver a giant birthday card for one of England’s football stars, Trent Alexander-Arnold, in collaboration with the FA.

The English FA approached us with a request to create a giant birthday card that would not only celebrate Trent Alexander-Arnold’s special day but also bring a sense of fun and excitement to the occasion. Our Mega Cards were a perfect fit for this request. Standing at a towering 6 feet tall (122 cm x 183 cm), the card was designed to wow anyone who saw it – and it certainly did!

The Reaction

The Mega Card took centre stage in a surprise that quickly went viral. As part of the FA’s video celebrating Trent’s birthday, there was a hidden twist: fellow England teammate Jude Bellingham was hiding inside the card! The video made waves online, attracting attention across social media platforms and football fan communities. The FA’s video has reached over 2.5 million views on Instagram and 2.8 million views on TikTok.

Our Mega Cards have always been about delivering the WOW factor, and this project was no exception. Seeing the giant birthday card for Trent Alexander-Arnold featured in articles by The Sun, The Mirror, Talksport and even in a video by the popular football parody channel 442oons was proof of just how impactful our cards can be. The card even found itself on ITV during the pre-match coverage of UEFA Nations League match against Greece.

Why Mega Cards?

We take pride in creating cards that go beyond the ordinary. Each card is custom-designed to meet the client’s vision, whether it’s to celebrate a milestone, share a heartfelt message, or, in this case, add a playful surprise to a birthday celebration. With our giant cards available in sizes up to 6 feet tall and personalised with up to 20 photos, we make sure each creation is truly unique and memorable.

The reaction to the card, both from Trent and online audiences, was incredible. Fans were delighted to see the fun twist with Jude Bellingham, and the card itself became a focal point in the conversation surrounding Trent’s birthday celebrations. The buzz it generated online was a testament to the power of thoughtful, well-executed ideas that bring people together.

Looking Ahead

This project shows the versatility and excitement that our Mega Cards can bring to any occasion. Whether for birthdays, anniversaries, or special team events, these giant cards make an impression that lasts. We’re honoured to have been a part of Trent Alexander-Arnold’s special day and look forward to creating more unforgettable moments with our Mega Cards. Here’s to more collaborations and more WOW moments in the future!
