Number of Years Traveler Masculine Birthday Card

HAPPY EASTER to you all
I hope you have a wonderful Family Weekend
Tomorrow we are having a big Easter Egg Hunt with our Grandchildren, It;s great fun as our garden is large, with lots of places to hide those chocolate eggs !

Anyway, the card I am sharing with you today, is a card I made for my Brother-in-Laws 50th Birthday
Since he is a train driver, I decided that the Traveler Stamp Set from Stampin Up! just had to be the main stamp set for this card.
However, I also used the Remembering Your Birthday stamp set, for the sentiment inside the card, plus the Number of Years  Stamp Set. for the large numbers and the Sentiment Banner.

The Large Letters Dies and the Number of Years Stamp Set is available as a Bundle in the 2016 Spring/Summer Seasonal Catalogue from stampin Up, and is available via my online store, at a 15% discount 
 (see the bottom of today's blog post)

Sale A Bration Perfectly ArtisticThe Skye's The Limit Masculine Birthday Card Stampin Up! UK

Today's card is one that I made for my younger son's 29th Birthday last week.
He loves all things aviation, and was in the Air Training Corps in his teens. Asthma prevented a career in the RAF, but this has not caused his love of all things plane orientated one jot. He particularly loves the vintage armed forces planes, and loves attending the annual season of Air Shows here in the UK

So when Stampin Up! Brought out this limited edition rubber stamp set as part of the Sale A Bration promotion this year.. it was an absolute must have for me.
