A Super Special Simple Saturday!

by | Oct 15, 2016 | Birthday, Masculine, Simple Saturday | 9 comments

Good October 15th to all….this is a special day for ME (the Mom) because it is my MIDDLE PEEPS 26th Birthday (James)  – as a Mom…I adore when it is one of the Peeps Birthday. I always knew that I wanted to be a Mom….and when I was blessed to me able to have my 3 peeps…I am a happy and blessed person!

Below you will see a super simple yet fun masculine card ~ you will have to pop back tomorrow to see the stepped up version and then you decide…not only which one “tickled your fancy” but also – which one did I give to James!?!?

Remember when we have chatted about the basic shapes? – A circle, square, rectangle etc…..worked again for this card! I let the BIG numbers a focal point to the card and you can see that they are POPPED UP?

I just love using “fun foam sheets” and these are a breeze to cut out just like you would do with Card Stock. To me, it adds that extra special POP!

Don’t be afraid to make a fun and bold statement using a mixture of patterns from a variety of papers! The stars are from the Warm & Cheer (Holiday Catalog) and the fun black crosshatch is from Playful Pallette DSP Stack!

This is a PRIME EXAMPLE of why I adore paper swatches when I do Product Shares….you can FLIP through paper offerings and let your mind go wandering to find the look you are going for!

Clean lines…yet still masculine and I love the sentiment from the Birthday Fiesta Stamp Set. This is another example as when you look at a stamp set…at 1st glance you might say….“This is to whimsical….or this is to detailed and specific”…but what I was looking for was a great Birthday Sentiment that would be great for a age for this age….BINGO!!!!

I only used the sentiment but below you will see that bundle that goes with this fun stamp set! This Lama is adorable but please do not overlook the fun and festive banners. These would work great with many different themed cards!

What do you think? A great and festive card (in my opinion) and I know that James will love it! Earlier this week I had a call from Hannah saying that she was having a hard time a perfect card….I said. “WHY” ~ I adored her answer…it will be a tough act to follow when I see the cards that you make (I melted – as she knows that I love what I do) 🙂

I am excited for today. James is home for the weekend and one thing that I have ALWAYS and it is STILL TRUE…

 

“If there were more James’ in the world, our world would be a happier place”

I deeply mean that. He is a wonderful young man and always has been a joy. He has the heart of gold and is so kind. His kindness and all around “happy nature” is always a breath of fresh air. He is our peep that has had some medical issues but I can say that I am in awe of his determination and commitment to learn how he can deal and take care of himself.

I am happy today….I am blessed to be a Mom and I look forward to having my peep home! He is the BIGGEST HELPER to me and John as he loves to be our “fixer” – we are doing fence posts….he is going to trim the upper branches of limbs that get in my way when I ride the horses….and just be here…home – it doesn’t get any better than that!

Have a GREAT day….and I hope to see you tomorrow for our SUNDAY FUN!!!!

    Love the card Susan – it is great but I adore your comments about motherhood the most. What a wonderful thing that you have been blessed with three children and James sounds like a fabulous guy. You did good! Enjoy your time with James! I bet you also will be cooking one of your fabulous meals for his birthday treat, eh? Blessings and happiness to you all!

    Happy Birthday James !
    Susan, you mixed patterns that I would have been hesitant to use ….but look how they pair together ! I agree with you about the dsp swatches . They are so handy to flip through .
    Great card for a great guy !

    There is that star pattern that I thought I didn’t care for and here I think it is really great paired with the black and that fun pattern piece from the playful palette. Bold and bright! Guys can handle the bigger numbers so that is another perfect touch. I wonder how you will step this version up? Love your personal stories and comments on life! Enjoy the weekend with James!

    I really like that star pattern and it is perfect for a birthday card. I adore those large numbers and how you layered them to make them pop. I’m at the age where I have no idea what anyone’s age is. Do they make large question marks? Or maybe we’re to put 29 since that seems a poplar age (couldn’t pay me enough to do anything in the 20s again).
