Alan and Dad

Today I have two mens' cards to show you.

The first one is the one that I made for our good friend Alan's Birthday

and the second one, Jan from Wednesday class made (Dad's birthday).

My card - Midnight Muse and White

Jan's card - Always Artichoke and White.

As you can see Jan did the same design but simply changed the colours.

The small stars were punched using the Itty Bitty Star punch - it's so useful!!

The names were diecut.

Another Great Year

Here's the second card that Chris and I made on Wednesday using the

fabulous "Another Great Year" stamp set.

Colour combo is Gumball Green, Coastal Cabana and White.

Stamp sets used - Simply Stars and sentiment from Another Great Year.

The Pool Party twine is from the SAB Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack.

A couple of Basic Rhinestones just to finish it off.

Think this will make a super man's card.

Chalk Talk meets Simply Stars

Went trawling the internet today to find something different for a man's card,

and I happened across Laura's blog and cased this card from there.

Colour combo is Baked Brown Sugar, Pistachio Pudding and Coastal Cabana.

Stamp sets used are  Gorgeous Grunge,  Simply Stars

and the sentiment from Chalk talk - cut with the matching Framelit.

7/16" Natural Trim ribbon and Early Espresso Bakers Twine.

Thanks for the inspiration Laura.

Aaron's Birthday

Yesterday was my nephew, Aaron's 20th birthday - he and my grand-daughter, Ellie,

 were born the same year - my how time flies - makes me feel old!!

Here's the card that I have made for him.

Colour combo is Island Indigo and White.
Stamp sets - Banner Greetings (Hostess) and Simply Stars
Die cut letters used for his name.

I love the little faces that I have stamped and stuck in the middle of the stars-

my sad sense of humour!!
