Yesterday was my son Jesse's 25th birthday. Hard to believe he is almost as old as me now! ;)
We celebrated by going to the new Bass Pro Shop in Rancho Cucamonga just to ooo and ahh at everything. Then we ate dinner at the Islamorada Restaurant there. My friends, Sue and Lisa, and I ate dinner at the one in Denver while there for the SU! Convention and I knew that's where I wanted to take Jesse for his birthday!
The card is all SU! products except for the clip, ribbon, and brads.
It's a little hard to tell from the picture, but I used the faux embossing technique of stamping the image in craft white and then stamping over it, slightly offset, with classic Brocade Blue ink. I cut the "25" with my Cricut using designer paper and cut the shadow out of card stock. There is a little piece of Groovy Guava showing through behind the little flowers on the bottom where I punched out the centers of the flowers. I glued the "25" to a piece of clear plastic (cut from the end of a packaging box) and clipped them to the front of the card. In real life, the plastic is perfectly clear and you don't see it at all! The River Rock cs was roller stamped in craft white. The second picture shows a close-up of the detail and better shows the clearness of the plastic I used to mount the "25" to. Thanks for looking!

My Swap
This was the swap I made for our Stampin' Up! meeting on Saturday. We have a swap where each of us makes 31 of our cards, one for the contest and the other 30 to swap. Our upline, Lis Ljung gets to keep the contest cards. Everyone votes for the cards they like best. Mine came in with the second most votes! I'm always surprised when I win in the contest because our group does an outstanding job and makes so many creative, beautiful, and clever cards.
I used all SU! cardstock and designer paper for this card. I used a brass template for the cut and fold technique used. Ok....I may never do that again for 32 cards! (31 cards for our meeting and 1 for me to keep!) I do like the outcome of cutting and folding, just not for that many cards. Those that know me can tell you how much it pains me to make more than one of the same thing! lol
Happy Monday! Thanks for looking!
