We all need Birthday cards for those special guys in our lives and in honor of my Dad who doesn't mind having a glass of Forty Creek Whiskey mixed with a coke on a Friday evening I created this card. His Birthday was this week and this is the card I made for him.
Supplies
1 - 8 1/2"x 11" sheet of Grey cardstock
1 - 5 1/4"x 4" piece of Basic White cardstock
1 - 3/4"x 5 1/2" piece of Sahara Sand DSP
Scrap Basic White cardstock
Whiskey Business stamp set
Biggest Wish stamp set
Memento Black ink
Instructions
Take the 8 1/2"x11" sheet of cardstock cut it down to 8 1/2"x5 1/2" and score that at 4 1/4" on the long side.
I then took the piece of Basic White carstock and the Biggest Wish stamp set and stamped the block letter versions of happy and birthday. Using a tool like the Stamparatus allows you to line these words up and stamp them without errors.
I then took the scrap piece of Basic White and stamped the decanter and whiskey glass form the Whiskey Business stamp set in Memento Black ink. I then fussy cut the images out.
I then adhered the piece of Basic White cardstock to the card front. I then layered the strip of DSP to the left side of the card leaving about an 1/8" front the edge of the white cardstock layer. I then adhered the stamped images to the front of the card.
You can always use dimensionals to adhere these pieces but I chose to adhere them flat to the card front.
You could always trade out the DSP strip for some baker's twine wrapped around the card. And the Happy Birthday can always be customized to the persons favourite colours.
Happy Paper Crafting!
