Happy 40th Birthday

Morning everyone,

Okay, so it's Saturday and someone special's birthday today - so I'm back with the card :) To celebrate her big 4-0, she's having a party this evening with the theme of black and white, so I thought I'd make a card to compliment her colour scheme and just had to open up my new Speciality Papers just for her. Below is the card I made that she hopefully will receive this morning.

Life's A Breeze - 40th Birthday Card.

Hi all,

Recently been asked to make a 40th birthday card for someone who likes sailing, not too feminine and the colour lime green! At first, I didn't think I had any appropriate stamps, let alone be able to make this card! After a little searching for inspiration online, I realised I had a boat stamp after all from one of my many Stampin' Up! stamp sets - lol. Here's the card I created using a much neglected stamp set of mine called Life's A Breeze.

Card Size: A5.

Hope you like this card. Thanks for stopping by.

The Big 4-0

Hi all,

Hope everyone's having a good week so far. I have recently been commissioned to make a 40th birthday card and thought as the lady's birthday was yesterday, it is now safe to upload it.

I bought some new Designer Series Papers recently from the Mini Catalogue because of the May's Offer of buy three packs get the fourth pack free deal, so I thought I'd christen the patterned papers - it really wasn't hard to cut into them! lol. Luckily, I haven't got into the phase/stage where I stroke the papers only! hee hee hee. I also christened my new Schoolbook Serif Alphabet stamps that I received a few weeks back too :) I love how you can spell anything you want, might think about doing some Grad cards with this stamp set soon.


Hope you like the card using new goodies - 1/2" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon in So Saffron, Tea Party Designer Series Paper, Occasional Greetings and Schoolbook Serif Alphabet.

Please feel free to leave me a comment as I do enjoy reading them.

Bye for now,

Alex
