Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I hope you are all still safe and warm. It looks like we may
get another punch of winter weather. Ooph!
That little guy that we spent our days with when I retired has grown up.
It doesn't seem possible that he is a man now!
I used the Monarch size for his birthday card, cutting it a little bigger to
allow for a pocket inside to hold some cash.
The streamers and trophy dies are from the Greetery and I used scraps of
cardstock and gold foil to cut them from. All are placed on a Happy Birthday
embossed background.
Here's a peek at the inside.
I'll tuck a piece of money into the pocket before we give it to him.
Challenges:
Seize the Birthday #319 - Topping of Rainbow Colors
Card Recipe
Stamps: Various Birthday
Ink: A rainbow of colors
Paper: Tranquil Teal (GKD), Scraps of cardstock and matte gold foil
Other: Happy Birthday EF (CB), Twisted Crepe dies (Grtry), Trophy die (Grtry freebie)
Enjoy!

These streamers look fantastic! The golden cup is a great start to a new chapter in life. May your grandson have the best of everything in life! Now that's what I call a richly decorated card!! I'm sure he'll appreciate both its artistic appeal and all its other richness. A wonderful card for his eighteenth birthday!

Now that's a celebratory card Bonnie!! Love all the streamers and embossed birthday background, and really, really love the inside with all the colorful happy birthdays...going to have to remember that idea! And a very happy 18th to Luke!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful way to celebrate Luke's birthday, Bonnie. The rainbow streamers are fun with the embossed background and who wouldn't love a trophy. Stamping a variety of sentiments on the inside is so creative, colorful and fun.
ReplyDeleteGreat decorations for an 18th Birthday, Bonnie! I think you've started a fad, everyone should get a trophy for making it to 18, right? Your flap on the inside is pretty great too -- or would that be the present inside?!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Luke. Love your colorful streamers and embossed background. That trophy with the 18 on it is a perfect way to show him he is a winner. Love the way you did the inside also. Thanks for sharing with us at Seize the Birthday.
