Happy Birthday Boys

I don't know about you, but I really struggle for men's cards. There are 5 birthday's at work in this fortnight, Starting on 24th October with Liam, and finishing on 6th November with mine. That's a lot of cake, and a lot of cards for me to make.

I don't mind though, I love each member of our tema getting a handmade birthday card from us all and feel really guilty if I miss one and they go without (sorry Chris!). The struggle is 3 of the 5 birthdays are for men.

I knew it had to involve the Petite Pennant punch, as everything else was flowery and girly, but I wanted to use an old favourite form last year's catalogue that I haven't really used that much as I didn't want to cut the pennants out... and now I don't have too!

I stamped the pennants from 'Party this way' twice in Lucky Limeade, Pool Party, Island Indigo & Wisteria Wonder, cut out one of each with the scallop pennant and one with the straight pennant. The scalloped ones I stuck to the card mat and ran through my Big Shot with the Textured Impressions folder, Perfect Polka Dots and the straight edged ones I stamped the letters on to and stuck over the scalloped pennants with a Dimensional.

Oh I forgot to say I stamped the happy birthday too in Concord Crush before the mat went through the Big Shot.

The plan is Liam gets this before he sees it on my Facebook stream.

That's all for today, thanks for stopping by.
