Hi there
Tonight I'm sharing a card I made for a work colleague's 60th birthday.
I always struggle with masculine designs but I'm liking the grey/blue/silver combo here. And I've had some pearlescent sheets of ready cut mini envelopes in my stash for YEARS so used one of them here.
Apologies for the lighting in these photos, I couldn't free up my usual spot on my table before this one had to go in the mail so I had to wing it at my craft desk and hope for the best!
I began by die cutting a rectangle from grey cardstock and two squares, one from white cardstock and another from polka dot paper. I layered these up and stamped the sentiment. I folded up the mini envelope and adhered it in place, then adhered a selection of die cut mini stars and two balloons stamped with the numbers and heat embossed in white.
Materials used:
- Dies: Create a Smile - Cool Cuts Double Stitched Rectangles; MFT Die-namics - Pierced Square Stax, Stitched Strip (mini stars); Clearly Besotted - Got Your Number (balloons)
- Patterned Paper: MFT - Summertime Polka Dots
- Stamps: Clearly Besotted - Message Me, Got Your Number
- Ink: Versafine - Onyx Black; VersaMark
- Embossing Powder: Brutus Monroe - Alabaster White
- Cardstock and mini envelope from stash
