Birthday Greetings

Clean and Simple

I've been away on holiday for a couple of weeks and only remembered when I got back that I needed a couple of cards the next day so today I've made a card that uses old and about to be old products, the only thing still in the catalogue except for the card stock and ink is the banner triple punch. I'm sad to see the Hello you thinlits leave the catalogue. I use them a lot and will miss them.  

The card is easy and simple to do and was put together in just a few minutes. Which was good as I needed to make two of them. Men really stump me unless they have an interest which can be used such as photography or fishing.

The materials used are:

Card stock: Night of Navy, Whisper White

Ink: Night of Navy

DSP: Carried Away

Stamp sets: Party Wishes (retired)

Thinlits: Hello You

Punches: Banner Triple
Accessories: Grosgrain Ribbon (retired)

Will be back again soon with more cards

Old and New

Today I'm posting a card I made for my friend's Dad, he's a very spritely 80 year old now. And I wanted to give him a card to celebrate. I had seen this stamp set on Pinterest and thought it would be perfect for him, even though it's no longer in the Catalogue. I teamed it up with some framelits and thinlits. I'm pleased to say my friend said he was thrilled with it.

I stamped the image with VeraMark and then sponged it in Crumb Cake.  Re stamped the image in Soft Suede and cut it down to just the one word.

The materials used are:

Ink: Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, VersaMark

Card stock: Early Expresso, Very Vanilla

Card base: (NSU)

Stamps: From My Heart (retired)

Embossing Powder: Clear

Framelits: Ovals Collection

Thinlits: Hello you, Little Numbers

DSP: Neutrals

Accessories: Candy dots neutrals

Will be back again soon with more cards

Hello you

Hello there, so glad you dropped by

Today it's going to be my Anniversary card to Hubby.  This was actually last month and yes I'm still very behind in my blogging, but hope to catch up a bit in the next couple of weeks.  He loves the colour red and so I always use a lot of red in his cards.  He say's they cost him a fortune, but after 22 years he still loves me so that's good.

The materials used are:

Ink: raspberry ripple (retired)

Card Base: whisper white

DSP: stacked with love

Embossing folder: arrows (retired?)

Stamps: hearts a flutter (retired), memorable moments

Punches: modern label

Thinlits: hearts a flutter, hello you

Will be back again soon with more cards
