Happy Birthday Peter.

Today is my Hubby, Peter's Birthday.   I'm taking him out for brunch this morning.   And the kids are coming for an early dinner this evening.  

I decided to make a graphic card to celebrate.  

I started by taking a set of Spellbinder square nestibilities.  I layered three squares the four smallest dies one inside another and cut from brown, black and blue card.  This ended up giving me three sizes of square frames.   I added them onto the card, snipping some so that the while lot is flat.   I used a sentiment from  Altenew's Birthday Builder set.    A simple card but I'm so pleased how it turned out.  

Hubby asked me on Tuesday..."have you got me anything yet? "  And when I said not yet... he promptly showed me a Leaf Blower he wants.   "I'll buy it and you can transfer the money to my credit card!"  Well that was easy!

Have a great weekend all.   

WCMD - Day Masculine Makes.

Sunday I decided that as it was still WCMD on the other side of the world and hubby was watching car racing that I would spend some time playing.    I have twin great nephews turning 12 at the end of the month and my hubby has a birthday next week.

For the twins I really struggled with what to do.  I did some pinterest searching and decided to make some graphic looking cards.

 

I pulled out a couple of paper pads and got co-ordinating patterns to make the each card.  My sentiment is from Hero Arts.  I was happy with the results.

And for my hubby I CASE'd a card from a magazine using the stamps and papers from the kit that came with the magazine.

I was really pleased with the way it turned out.  I used Altenew Rose Gold embossing powder.

I enjoyed my weekend of crafting and hope you did as well.
