I posted this card last week but want to share it again for the Freshly Brewed Projects Blog Hop. The theme this week is Masculine Birthday and think this one is perfect. I hope you don’t mind seeing it again.
My daughter asked me to make a birthday card for one of her neighbours. When I asked her to tell me something about him, she said that he makes jam – especially rosella jam.
With that information I decided to use the What’s Cooking and Measure of Love Stamp Sets. I laso used some of the retired Well Suited Designer Series Paper because it is perfect for masculine cards.
The fornt of the easel card has Night of Navy scales weighing some ‘rosellas’ and a knife and spoon for preparation. I stamped these on Gray Granite card using Smoky Slate ink.
I fussy cut the scales and cut the utensils using the Cookin’ Dies.
The birthday greeting, from the Biggest Wish Stamp Set, was trimmed and fussy cut. Then all of these elements were placed on the front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The front is lifted up and tucked in under the saucepans to create the easel card.
I added some Foam Adhesive Sheets behind a piece of Night of Navy card and cut the letters using the Playful Alphabet Dies. I’m thinking of printing jammin’ on a piece of Basic White card, trimming that down and popping just ablove the word ‘in’. What do you thing?
The back of the card has a Basic White panel for writing a message. It also has the three chef’s hats image stamped. I added the same image to the envelope.
My daughter also said that Ken’s grandson often joins him for his jam making sessions. I hope Ken likes his custom made birthday card.
I didn’t add any embellishments to the card but did paint a little Clear Wink of Stella on the utensils.
I make lots of birthday cards but really enjoy making them for a particular person so that I can customise it – it’s more special when the card matches the person.
Now make sure that hop across to see what the rest of the team has created:
Until next time, happy stamping.
