BIRTHDAY CARD FOR MY SON

My oldest baby Paul and also recently married, turns 3o on Thursday. It's been a momentous 12 months for him ... getting engaged, then married and now a big "O" birthday!

I cannot believe he is turning 30 ... seems like just yesterday he was born, the years have flown by in the blink of an eye! My little pudgie, whingie baby has turned into a strong, capable and dependable young man and we're very proud of him.

So now to the card.

Went to Ingrid's house today (another SU demonstrator) and she showed us how to make this 'Envelope Card' that she made on a recent stamp camp. This is my version ....






I've used Urban Garden Designer Series Papers and the card colours are Basic Grey, Basic Black, Kiwi Kiss and Baja Breeze. Ink colours are Kiwi Kiss, and Not Quite Navy. The stamp sets are Happy Everything and In the Stars (retired). I used both of the Stampin' Up! Star Punches and the 30th Laser cut is from ..... I don't know, just bought it at a craft show ... oooh and some silver brads.
