I wasn't sure how much I would use this stamp set…By the Tide, but I love it – especially for a masculine Birthday Card! But the show stopper to me is the lining of the envelope!
Yesterday was my Dad's 82nd birthday and I did not want to share it ( on the 18th) as he does check my blog ( well at least he says he does) but he is in sunny Key West so I thought this would be a handsome, masculine and special card to let him know how very special he is!
The rich colors of Night of Navy, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla make this a card of depth! As you can tell in the close up….I stamped the "words stamp" in Sahara Sand and then the Ocean Corals are in Crumb Cake, then I lightly sponged the edge and the overall body of the card with Crumb Cake!
The "Stamp-a-ma-jig" is the total save me tool for both lining up the "Happy Birthday" but also for the placement of the fish for both the card and the envelope! This sentiment comes form the Bring on the Cake Stamp Set, a perfect one for the perfect B-day message!
I felt that I needed a bit of texture so I added the Crumb Cake Seam Binding Ribbon – my all time easy-peasy favorite as it is super easy to make bows and knots! Make sure you see all of the colors it comes in….a must have! Always remember – you can click away at the shopping button and your goodies will come straight to you!!!! How easy is that!
Now to the fun part of this card….I lined the Crumb Cake Envelope with the Very Vanilla and then stamped the "fish" stamp onto the liner….is that CUTE or what!!!! Please let me know how you like this card and please feel free to email me at anytime…..
