Masculine birthday card

27 Mar

You are looking at a five minute card- six at the most.

Hayward and I agreed to meet some good friends to celebrate Bill’s birthday. Realized I had no masculine birthday cards on hand…. or a present. I came down to the studio, took out my trusty Cuttlebug and found the numbers embossing folder. Matted the numbers on a brown card and then printed on the computer, “It’s only a number…” and matted it on a scrap of brown over the numbers. Inside reads, “…a big big number” I figured that was not insulting because he is the youngest of the four of us.

And that was it. We went to the ABC store to get a quick present for him, and the guy at the register told us there was a gift box with a bottle of Mint Chocolate Bailey’s bottle plus two candles. Perfect!We had pizza, a lovely dinner, and continued on to choir practice. Fun day…

    Puh-leeeeeeze give me your permission to copy the idea for your birthday card? I’ll even give you credit on the back! What a fantastic clever play on words….but then, you have always been the “clever one!” (Wouldn’t you know it? I have just about EVERY OTHER emb. folder…but not the numbers one. :-)) I do love your new card. Nice job!

    Time for me to make a couple more ‘masculine’ birthday cards and haven’t used this idea for Jeff or Abram yet…… 🙂 THANKS, Eileen!
