Happy 60th Birthday Keith

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

You might have noticed that I have not been around lately. We are in France to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. We had a trip away for mine so it is only fair. He will be having not one but two tea parties with different groups of people. Both involve tea and cake. 🙂

I have made him a very special card that he won't be able to open until he gets home. Then I thought it was a bit mean not to have anything to open on the day. So I made one that could travel.

This had to be a relatively quick card and one that could go in a suitcase. I found an old card with these bottles of wine on, Hopefully we will be having some nice French wine tonight. 

I used the Piece by Piece dies set from Die-Cutting Essential magazine. I think it is nice to leave some of the pieces not quite in the puzzle. My husband like another card that I made with this die set. 

This is my hubby in Sorrento last year. That was a lovely restaurant. 

I think he will like this card. I will catch up with everyone when we get back. 

Enjoy the rest of the week.

My Husband's Birthday Card

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I hope you had a great weekend and that you got done all the things that you wanted to do. We had a great time at Bristol Zoo it is a stunning location for a wedding. We have just a year to get it all planned and sorted. There is so much to do. I have made a list and my first job is to make  the Save the Date cards.

You know me I do like to get ahead with my card making. Someone at work gave me some cards to upcycle and when I saw the image of the wine bottle I knew just what I wanted to do and who for.

I bought the Happy Birthday paper at a Craft Fair a while a go this was a good opportunity to use it. 

I also had treated myself to the Heartfelt Creations Italiana Grapvines stamps and matching dies a while ago. They work brilliantly together. I stamped onto watercolour card with black archival ink and everything was coloured with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens, I do love those pens.

This is my Sue Wilson Happy Birthday die it works so well for mens cards. 

It is fine to share this card my husband is not interested in social media. He does like a nice bottle of red wine though. 

Have a great week. 

Happy Crafting
