Birthday Cards for Men

A birthday card for a dear friend. We're cooking dinner for him and his wife on Saturday.

This is my second card for this challenge. Once again, I used aluminum foil and ran it through the cuttlebug. It really looks like shiny sheet metal IRL. my blog: http://inksomething.blogspot.com

Speaking of Long Island, Justin has a great inspiration photo for us this week at Stamp Ink Paper. It's a photo of the lighthouse on Fire Island, a barrier island off the coast of Long Island.

This Z-fold birthday card in muted shades of blue and grey was designed for my Father-in-law. the base is 110lb shimmer blue card stock and whilst there is plenty of room for a greeting on the front, I included a white panel on the back in case, like me, you wish to keep the front clean!

Uneasy, due to these products being unlike anything I have ever worked with before. Not usually stuff I would gravitate towards or call "my style". Yet at the same time I was excited about trying something new. I tell ya, I had nothing to fear. I am in love with every single thing from this release!!! I…

A place to share my passion with all of you...in hope that you will be inspired.

A great card for that truck (or apple) lover in your life! This unique birthday card features a hand stamped and hand watercolored image of a vintage truck filled with apples.
