In This World Masculine Birthday Card using Stampin' Up! Products

Oh Boy, Is it hot or what?

Well, us Brits are not acclimatised for the hotter weather normally found in most of Europe

On top of that we are doing a Summer Clean of the house and grounds!

Thank goodness we only do this twice a year he he

Anyway, it has meant I haven't posted as frequently as usual .... my apologies for that,

But to compensate, I do have a super vintage style card for you

Using the super dooper

IN THIS WORLD

Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

I made this card for my Father in Law's Birthday

They live in rural Eire (southern Ireland) and although they built a new bungalow on their family's property, they kept the original Cottage that was home to the very many children that were born there over the generations

It is full of character. My Father In Law uses half of that cottage as his workshop

And this stamp set, so reminded me of that old cottage, with it's Boreen & a castle in the field behind their home.

The Birthday Sentiment comes from the

BUILD A BIRTHDAY

Stamp Set (also from Stampin' Up!)

I used a colour combination of

Mint Macaron; Tip Top Taupe & Very Vanilla.

The card was embellished with some of the new lush Burlap Ribbon - I LOVE it! and I am sure it will be used a great deal over the festive season.

I am now including the product item numbers on the Product List below this photo, to make ordering even easier for you, and my website link is there too

I have also included the dimensions of the cardstock that I used.

Wherever You Go Guy Greeting Masculine Birthday Card using Stampin' Up! Products UK

Today I have a Masking Technique to create the Sky Background to this Masculine Card.

The Wherever You Go Stamp Set, is another of the great collage stamp sets in the new Catalogue. Most (but not all) of the collage stamp sets, including this one, don't have sentiment Stamps in the set.

So I used the Guy Greetings Stamp Set to get the Birthday Sentiment, that was then die cut and popped up on Stampin Dimensionals for added depth. The new Burlap Ribbon is fab, and super for masculine projects.
