STB #338 - Macsuline

Shirley wants us to do a masculine card. Usually harder to make, but the men in our birthday groups need Birthday cards too. Wonderful idea, Shirley! 

We are really ending this year with a bang, as we have three Surprise Party Guests for you. 
Check with out! 



Here is the card that I made.. 



Supplies are:
Pinkfresh Quadrant suite, hot foil plate, die and stencil 
Inks are Gina K, Kraft, MFT Natural and Stampin Up Tangerine Tango

Be sure to visit the team blog for more masculine ideas for cards. 

As we come to the final Seize the Birthday Challenge of 2026. I also wanted to share that this will be my last challenge as a member of the design team.

After 10 wonderful years, I feel the time has come for me to step down. It certainly hasn't been an easy decision, as being part of the team has brought me so much joy, inspiration and, most importantly, wonderful friendships

I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Nancy and the entire team for all of the support, encouragement, and friendship over the years. It has never gone unnoticed, and I am truly grateful to have been part of such a special group
While I may be stepping away from the design team, I am certainly not stepping away from making cards! Crafting will always be part of my life, and you may just see me popping up in the gallery from time to time.
Thank you for making these past 10 years so special; it's been a wonderful journey, 
and I will cherish the memories.

+++++++++++++

Merry Christmas to all! 

Thanks for stopping by.  I always appreciate your comments!
