Last time, I made a Christmas Card, and this time I am making a Birthday Card that was designed for one of my brothers who is moving home, and is into his scuber diving BIG TIME lol. He even teaches and is trained as a Rescue Diver too.
As this is his main interest, I always try to make nautical themed cards for him.
So Today I am sharing with you an easy Z fold Card
I found the original Template on Patty Stamps, and added the Metric Measurements, since most of us over the age of 50, we are more familiar with metric measurements, rather than than imperial. That includes me ha ha
We May Be in the Run Up to Christmas, but people still have Birthdays and other special occasions at this time of year

Today is a super quick tutorial as it is my Wedding Anniversary
We have been together 23 years, Marries for 16 Years
He is my Soulmate and Best Friend
And so this is his card for this year.
I began by using using a sponge brayer to add some subtle colour to the background with Dapper Denim Ink, to tie in the two halves of the card.
I used a combination of the Floral Phrases Stamp Set and the Timeless Love Stamp Set to get the sentiment I wanted on the card front.
I also stamped a sentiment inside the card
The designer Series Paper is called Moroccan & is why I chose to use Gold Ribbon to tie the two halves of the card together, and finally, used lots of teeny Basic Pearls to get more texture into the Card.

Today I have another version of that super charged Handmade Motorcycle Stamp Masculine (or feminine) Card using the
ONE WILD RIDE
Stamp Set
This time I am using a Random Stamping Technique, with Very Vanilla Cardstock as the main panel to create a more grungy feel to the card. Island Indigo Ink Pad was used for the birthday sentiment, motorbike images and the sentiment, and Archival Gray for the tread marks
I have coupled the One Wild Ride with a fabulous all occasion sentiment stamp set called
BETTER TOGETHER
This set has a combination of large, medium and small sized rubber stamps, with some being quite traditional in style, and others are more quirky.
I have found myself using this stamp set a LOT
The card was accessories with Night of Navy Enamel Shapes (I used stars), and some Silver Thread. The Banner was stamped onto a scrap of Very Vanilla Cardstock and fussy cut out (i.e. cut out by hand using paper snips.
Below you will find a list of the products used today, dimensions of the cardstock, Y the accompanying Video Tutorial
