Birthday Card - # of Years

Hope everyone had a great weekend!  Boy, was it hot here!!  Sunday was the hottest day with temps over 100!  We were suppose to go the church's annual Peach Festival but didn't have the strength or will power to go.  The youngsters went but didn't stay long, but brought home our dinner which was great as always!!

I was thinking about what to blog, and I remembered that I didn't show the birthday card I made for Joe.  I was so happy how it turned out.

Recipe:

Ink - Basic Black
Paper - Very Vanilla, Old Olive, scrap DSP
Stamps - # of Years, Perfect Pairings
Accessories - # of Years Dies, Triple Banner Punch, Scalloped Tag Topper
Embellishments - Twine

I cut my basic card 11" x 4 1/4" and scored in half.  My first layer of Old Olive was 5" x 3 7/8".  My second layer of DSP was  3 5/8" x 4 5/8".  My tag was cut 2" x 4 1/2.  I tied my twine in a bow and adhered it on the DSP.  I used my die to cut out my numbers and popped them up with dimensionals.   I stamped my greeting on a piece of Old Olive 3 7/8" 1 1/8".  I love this sentiment that comes in the # of Years set.

Here is the inside of the card using the Perfect Pairings stamp set.

As you can tell my picture isn't that good, but I stamped it on a piece of Old Olive 3/7/8 x 5".  He really liked his card.  Well, 2 weeks from today the girls go back to school.  I don't think they want to admit it but I think they are happy about it.  There is only so much you can do in all this heat!  Hope you have a great week ahead for you.
