Been meaning to share this post for a while. A bit ago I was asked to make two cards for guys' 60th birthdays. One for a winemaker I actually know. The other for someone I don't know - except my friend said he's with the police and likes meat! Um. OK.
Should you have any questions to supplies, just ask.
Winemaker was easy.
Grateful for wine labels I got from
Jacqueline years ago, I put one to use and carried on the gold theme with grapes and various collage elements.
As for the other guy, I was pretty clueless. So I
searched the internet for milestone card ideas. Made several so she could have a choice. Which one do you think she chose? Which would you choose?
I kinda carried on the wine feel for this one.
And then gave
a gatefold card a la Jennifer M. a try. Great way to stretch your cover plate dies too!
Next up, gave another cover plate die a shot. With kinda police colors ;)
And then I grabbed an alcohol-inked BG from my stash and turned it into a more playful card.
How about a deluge of confetti to celebrate?
Then there's the party props to support the giant "60".
And finally, the only "meat" stamps I owned...
So which one did my friend choose? Yep, the hot dogs! Though I'm happy to report she bought the blue geometric cover plate version and the alcohol-inked one too ;) Do you have a favorite?
Hope your Thanksgiving is/was wonderful. We celebrated last Sunday and I must admit I'm happy the preparations are over, though I'm still eating leftovers ;)
