Male 70th Birthday Card

It was my uncles 70th birthday yesterday and I decided to make him a card. I don't often make male cards as I always find them a bit difficult. Anyway I was happy how this one turned out and I hope you like it.

Materials Used

6"x6" white card base
Night of Navy cardstock 5 7/8" x 5 7/8" which I embossed with the Brick Wall folder.
I stamped the "70", "th" and "happy" using my Number Of Years Stamp Set and cut out  the 70 with the matching number framelits. For the "uncle" I used the Brushwork Alphabet Stamp Set. I then backed the it with silver foil card to make it stand out a bit more. I used my largest circle from the stitched shaped framelits to showcase the "70" and voila it was done!

Princess Kitty

A card fit for a Princess.........my beautiful youngest niece who turns a big 4 in October!! I didn't have any Stampin' Up! children stamp sets for this one so had to turn to my beloved Cricut Explore Machine for the Princess Cat. It's from the cartridge 'Create a Critter 2'. For the background I used the Love You and xoxo from the Bloomin Love stamp set, along with the dots from Watercolour Wings. The sentiment was from Beautiful You and I added 'Niece' using the Brushwork Alphabet. Card stock colour was Sweet Sugarplum.

Vase Easel Card

This weeks Blog post sketch was any type of easel card. 

As you can see from the picture I used the Birthday Blossoms, Beautiful You and my new Brushwork Alphabet Stamp Set. I just love the Brushwork Alphabet!!! I also used my new Stitched Shapes Framelits to cut out the sentiment.

I first cut out a square with my framelit, then used my oval framelit to take away a curve from each side to make my vase shape (this did't work out how I imagined so had to cut off some more!). I had already made the pansies for another card but decided not to use them so these were in my scrap box. I finished off by adding the scrap black pieces left over from my vase to highlight the sentiment and of course an itty bitty bow in Powder Pink. Card stock was also Powder Pink and Basic Black with the Fresh Florals DSP.
