Today, I have another of last month's birthday cards I made for my God-daughter's
husband, who celebrated his 40th birthday.
I started by embossing a frame directly onto the base card, then die cut two of the smaller
stitched label dies, and adhered them onto the embossed frame with 3D foam squares.
Next, I cut two number 40's, one in gold mirri card, the other in the brown card,
and glued them onto the label, slightly off-setting them.
The products I have used are:-
Spellbinders - Labels 1
Stitched Label dies - from The Works
Trim Craft First Edition - Number and Date Dies
Die'Sire - Happy Birthday

ReplyDeleteA CAS beauty Janice! The embossed frame is such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteA perfect CAS masculine card, Janice. Embossing the frame give the card a really elegant look. I picked up a set of the stitched labels dies from The Works a few days ago. I was impressed how well they cut for such a bargain price. xx

ReplyDeleteNot only clean and simple, but I find it elegant too! It's perfect for a masculine birthday card and if you change up the colors it would work well for a feminine one too! It's a great classic design!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant 40th birthday card for a male. Love the embossing.
