They Say It's Your Birthday

Hello bloggers!  Here's one that might work great for those pesky guy cards you need to make!  I started with the Double Stitched Squares and made two wide frames and added mounting foam to stairstep them upwards.  I added a piece of white card to the centre as my base.  Using the Birthday Brewing and Three Cheers die sets, I cut the beer on draught and added it to the centre of the card.  I used a thin black marker to colour in the words and a silver paint pen to add some details.  On the second frame I added a beer bottle and glass of beer.  I used white glue to add "foam" accents.  On the top frame I added the pub sign and sentiment to the top part of the card.  I added the other part to the sentiment and the beer pitcher and mug to the lower part of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8 1/4"  x  8 1/4" in size.  All for now. Sue x

    Lol. I could do with a pint although I'd have to force it down - if it's still possible to buy some that is, the stress and worry took its toll yesterday and broke me so couldn't see through watery eye's to make much lol no delivery slots, no click and collect, supermarket shopping site's crashing and so it went on all day, so there's nothing better to start the day with a great sample from our saviour and mentor friend on a lovely relaxing blog. So today im spending time way back in the archives of this beautiful place to keep my spirits high and to see how much has changed here over the year's. Whatever your plans stay safe stay well and try to stay positive? !! 🌻

    Hello Sue
    I really must get these sets they will be so useful for the men in my life. Well everyone I am sitting here with my foot raised unable to do anything dressed in the most clashing outfit picked by my husband. So like Stephanie I am going through all your past archives to keep me sane. A big thank you Sue

    Hello Sue and all
    Another of my favourite collections, I have used it so often and really love this card, I have made my own version of it a couple of times. The best card for so many of those difficult male cards.
    Keep crafting,
    Hugs

    Good Morning Sue. Brilliant sample today and I think a few of us could do with a couple of these at the moment. Or in some cases a bit stronger. Lol. It's a great one for the guys.
    Hope you are up and about soon Crewe Trish. God help you if your hubby is like mine lol. He is my very own mini Victor Meldrew lol. He's not really....but I keep telling him he's on the verge. Good thing we can have a laugh.. and I wouldn't swap him for the world. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them this morning. Kind Regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
