Seize the Birthday Challenge - #296 Masculine

Here it is the last challenge of 2024! Can you believe that? The time goes so fast, but we have the challenges to get use through. This challenge is mine and I have chosen masculine. Let's see what you do with that. 

Make sure it is a birthday theme, if you are not into toppings. 

My card!

A better angle to see the texture. 

 

The inside

For this card that will go to my grandson, Jack on his 20th birthday

 (how did that happen)

I used a digital image and printed it on Card stock. Then I used the alphabet dies from My Favorite Things to die cut his name. I think that you can see it in the photo. 

I added Glossy accents to the letters. The sentiment is computer generated. 

He loves all sports and there are lots of images on the internet. 

For those that want a masculine card, but want a simpler one, I have that too 

This card was made using an embossing folder by Altenew called foliage and the debossed side. 

I just sponged navy ink over the entire card and place a Happy Birthday die from Simon Says 

Please check out the blog for more inspiration from the team.

Double D Challenge - Winter

Darlene has provided some lovely picture of winter things for this next 

Challenge at Double D.

It has been a long time since I have actually experienced winter, as we are fortunate to go to a warm climate for our winters, but I do remember making snow men. That was my inspiration for my card. 

Prize for a random winner.

Penny Black cardstock prints

My card

Supplies for this card are: Waffle Flower Postage Stamp Collage Die

Stampin Up stamp called Thanks Snow Much (a very old stamp)

No longer available. I just love the melted snowman and the Miss You sentiment. 

With this postage stamp die, you can use many stamps that will fit into the areas. I am so glad that I still have this one. I have to say that I am so used to the polymer stamps, that going back to a rubber stamp made the placement more difficult, but not impossible
