I needed to make a birthday card for my husband’s lovely Uncle Dennis. I’m not so confident with making cards for men and I gather I’m not the only one. So thanks to inspiration from Leena Girsa, I came up with this card.
The hot air balloons and the sentiment are from a new stamp set in the 2017 Occasions Catalogue called Lift Me Up which also co-ordinates with the Up & Away Thinlits dies (available in a bundle to save 10%). I have also stamped the background with various stamps from Timeless Textures and sponged the edges to give a slightly vintage feel.
I hope Uncle Dennis likes his card and has a fabulous birthday.
During Sale-a-bration you can also earn the free matching Carried Away Designer Series Paper which co-ordinates with the stamp set and matching dies.
Happy Stamping!
