My son-in-law's birthday is just a few days after my youngest son's birthday. The family has been celebrating them together, as it is becoming more and more difficult to carve out time when all of us are available at the same time, and my darling daughter-in-law has graciously offered to host a dual party for both of them!
I decided to case and modify a card I saw on Pinterest by Mary Fish using cardstock color strips, the large Stampin' Up "Happy Birthday" die, and a white baker's twine wrap and bow. Because I wanted my card to lean more toward the masculine side, I decided to make my card horizontal and added more color strips, an Island Indigo (teal) color mat behind the strips on a white cardbase, and leave off the twine and bow. I cut my "Happy Birthday" die using white glitter paper and used enamel dots that I colored to match my color strips and to change them from their pastel shades to darker shades. Take a peek below at my finished card for Josh:
Ingredients: Stampin' Up cardstock: Whisper White, Island Indigo, Night of Navy, Fresh Fig, Blushing Bride, Berry Burst, Lemon-Lime Twist, Garden Green, Crushed Curry, White Glitter cs. Stampin' Up die: Happy Birthday Thinlit. EK punch: Vintage Medium Corner (double off-set layered). SU Glitter Enamel Dots (Copic color modified). Size: 4-3/4" x 6".
