Male 60th Birthday Card

I am trying to plan forward by making cards needed for September.  Our friend celebrates his 60th this year so I decided to go with a bottle of wine.

I started off by making a background with a leaf stamp by Oak House Studio on green cardstock.

I used a piece of burgundy coloured cardstock and put it through the Big Shot using a Stampin' Up embossing folder called "Oh My Stars".  I then dotted the centre of each star with a metallic gold pen and rounded the corners of the rectangle using a corner punch.

I cut the green bottle using a template from "Simply Cards & Papercrafts Magazine" issue 166, then using stamps free with the same magazine.  Next, using the Cricut, I cut the number 60 in the same burgundy cardstock.

I used a gold metallic pen for the top of the bottle with a couple of bands of ribbon to imitate the foil on a bottle.  I then added a small tag with the name of the recipient

Spellbinder 60th Birthday Card

I found out that my neighbour will be celebrating her 60th birthday tomorrow so made this card for her using some Spellbinder & Sizzix dies.

60th Male Birthday Card

I had half an hour to play with some paper and came up with this 60th Birthday card for a male.

The patterned cardstock is actually a purchase from Lidl some time ago, which has been sat waiting for an appropriate occassion.  I used a Sizzix die to cut the 60 and die cut the stitched squares.
