Happy birthday, man!


This is a birthday card for one of my great nephews who is a Simpsons fan (hope he still is!) - it's his birthday today and I know he's received this,, so it's safe to blog.

The top and bottom are offcuts from a piece of mirror card that had been embossed with one of the 8 x 8 embossing folders from the textures bundle I bought recently (the beauty of an 8 x 8 folder is that there will be snippets over after making a 6 x 6 card). The sentiment strip across the middle is another offcut, with some washi tape added and the Simpsons picture from the internet.


This is for:

  3. Hazel! I just love how you always make your cards so personalized for the recipient! And what a fun "manly" card this is for your great nephew. I really admire the embossing technique you used on the background and how you incorporated that great metallic component. I love how the card is both sophisticated and fun. Thank you so much for sharing your skills with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
