Today is my husband's birthday! These are the cards we made for him. The first is the card that I designed. It uses crushed curry card stock as the background. I precut that card stock to fold 4.25 by 7 inches. I like that it is a longer than a traditional A2 card just because it is nice to give the hubby something a little different. I used the stamp set
grunge rock (guitars, crown and sentiment),
extreme guitar (guitar player) and
Extreme elements. These sets are really cool. After stamping I ran the card through the
Big Shot with the
square lattice die to emboss. I really like the effect.
This card was done by my son JP with a little help from me. The card base is
Bermuda Bay card stock. The dsp is the
tropical dsp from the summer mini catalog. The stamped images and sentiment are from a NEW stamp set called
Party On. I stamped the balloons and
Happy Birthday directly onto the dsp and then added
crystal effects. I stamped the pennants and then cut them out, punched holes in the top corners and added
1/8 inch basic black taffeta ribbon, and the die cut letters
"dad" from
Timeless Type (exclusive
Big Shot letters for
SU!)
This last card I made for Luigi to sign for his daddy. I wheeled the
SU! wheel
P is for Paw with
soft suede ink over a
crumb cake card stock base. Next, I ran the card through the
Big Shot using the
square lattice die. I also die cut part of the
top note die (
exclusive to SU!) and stamped the dog and the paws from
D is for Dog and the
happy birthday from
Party On. The ribbon is
dotted grosgrain soft suede which is retired but I love it and so I bought extra for personal use.
I had to show you the inside of the card because
Luigi actually stamped his paws inside (with a little help of course - and I did get the ink off really easily with a washcloth).
Well, here's hoping your birthday is really nice Bill!
