Masculine Card Crusade

So, this would be the easiest card that was ever made.  I had some left over papers and saw a card like this on the internet.  So If you recognise it, please let me know and I will credit you!  It is simply stripes of scrap patterened paper and on Library Clip and the greeting stamped onto Cajun Craze, lifted up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I really like the rust colour combined with Not Quite Navy.

People still have birthdays in December

Do you have a friend that has a birthday in December?  My poor sister is a December baby and always hated it when people said "This present is for your birthday and Christmas combined."  So when I was making a present for a young boy I know, I made sure his birthday was very separate from his Christmas present.

I made him a wooden letter and made a matching card.  For the card, I decided to use my Stampin'Up! pewter embossing powder and a greeting from the Hostess Set So Many Birthdays.  I must say, I was doubtful that the powder ould pick up something as fine and intricate as the 'Happy' on the stamp, but have a look at the close up- it worked perfectly.
