30th Birthday Card - Time for a Beer

Hi there,
Today's post is a card I made for my Niece's partner Jevon for his 30th Birthday.  I coloured the Beer Mug with my Copic's and when it was dry I coated the glass area with crystal effects and applied Liquid Applique for the froth.  Looks terrific in real life, a bit hard to pick up in the photo.  I decorated the inside of the card in the same fashion and love how it came together.

Craig's 30th Birthday

Hello everyone,

For today's post I have made a Men's wallet for our Son-in-Law's 30th Birthday.  It is a quick and easy project to make.  I cut the main piece at 22.5cm x 9.5cm. Scored at 11cm and 11.5cm to give the wallet a spine and rounded the corners with the Corner Rounder Punch.  Embossed with the Provo Craft Tiny Mosaic Embossing folder from both sides to the spine.  If you need to touch up the embossing, line the folder up with the embossed part and use an embossing stylus to touch up any bits that have flattened.  The inside pockets are 10cm x 6cm.  Tag base is 8.5cm x 6cm.  I used sticky strip to glue eveything together, pierced around the front edge of the wallet on the outside and the inside tag, sponged the edges, added the Round Tab and brads to the tag inside.  I could have inked up the outside embossing with Versarmark and applied Clear Embossing Powder and used the heat tool to set the EB, but I liked the matte finish.  Let me know if you like it.

Supplies:

Stamps: None

Card: Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel, Chocolate Chip

Ink: Close to Cocoa

Embellishments: Brads

Tools: Corner Rounder Punch, Round Tab Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, Cuttlebug, Provo Craft Tiny Mosaic EB Folder, 1 5/8" Classic Circle Nestibility, Provo Craft Olivia Alphabet, Mat Pack & Piercing Tool, Sponge, Stick Strip, 2 Way Glue Pen, S/U's Cutter Tool, Fiskars Cutter and Scoring Blade, Computer and Printer for Sentiment, Dimensionals

 Another one of the Male Birthday cards I made for my Sister In Law. My original design was going in a totally different direction, didn't like how it was coming together so I changed it, I stamped and coloured the main image three times. LOL. It's funny how the design can take a totally different direction because you know it's not working.  I love how it came together in the end, do you?  I used the cutter tool to rough up the edges of the designer paper and card and then I created the torn edge from corner to corner.  The main image was stamped and then coloured with an aqua painter, marker's and River Rock stamp pad.  I tied the string to the top layer and added the main images mounting them on dimensionals.

Key Ingredients:

Stamps: SU's For Father, On Your Birthday

Card: Very Vanilla, River Rock (R), Chocolate Chip, Apple Cider DP (R), Spring Showers DP (R)

Ink: Stazon Black, Chocolate Chip, Creamy Caramel, Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, Really Rust Markers, River Rock Stamp Pad
