Loads of Love Birthday Card

 

A Masculine Birthday Card to wish my son a Happy Birthday today.  Bryan is an outdoorsman,  so the Paisley Petals Designer Paper was the perfect place to start.

Robin's Crafting Tips

• Designer Paper strips set the stage for today's card.  The 2 end strips are 1-1/2" wide and the center is slightly larger at 2"
• Load up the packages and drive by with a birthday hi with the Loads of Love and Loads of Love Accessories stamp sets.
• My Masculine color combo is Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Soft Suede, River Rock and Always Artichoke.

My base was 5-1/2" x 5-1/4".  When my Grandson, Connor, saw the left over strip of Crumb Cake, he just had to make his own card for his Uncle Bryan.  So one sheet of Crumb cake netted both of these birthday cards.  He added to Soft Suede Postage Punches to his card front.

My message waves across my card in a banner.  The Petite Pennant Builder Punch makes banners quick and easy.  Just add a bit of Linen Thread.

Connor was especially enthusiastic waving pines across the inside of his card.

Envelope Tips

• Last week Stamping Country Newsletter subscribers receive an Envelope Cheat sheet.  Today's card required a new envelope size to add to your cheat sheet.
• Cut base 8-1/2" Square, Lining is 8-1/4" Square.  Score at 4".  Makes a 5-5/8" Envelope.

Using Craft Room Tools Beyond the Class Room

Are you ready for a few grins and giggles?  Today's video is "Using your Craft Room Tools Beyond the Craft Room."  Who knows, you may even find it helpful.  Ready, let's get those boots ready for winter.

One word of caution, make sure that all your Iridescent ice and dazzling diamonds are cleaned up and out of sight before attempting this project.  Trust me, he won't be impressed if you heat emboss sparkles onto his boots.

 

A special thanks to Bryan & Karli, my son and daughter-in-law, who inspired this video.

Karli & Bryan's Boot Tips

• Buff boots after they dry to remove any excess snow seal and to add shine
• Bryan uses an old tooth brush and reheats
• Reapply at least monthly
• Always start with clean boots
• Do not apply to suede
• Seal darkens color of boots

We're back in the craft room tomorrow with rubber stamping & paper crafting.  Thanks for stopping by.
