Who said you can't use Christmas paper and stamps for a Birthday? Not me!
It's time for another masculine birthday card so here is what I came up with. I knew it needed a truck in it so decided on the truck from the Festive Farmhouse (minus the Christmas tree).
Recipe:
Real Red - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Festive Farmhouse DSP Stars - 5" x 3 3/4"
Real Red - 4 3/8" x 3 1/8"
Whisper White - 4 1/4" x 3"
Stamps: Farmhouse Christmas and Lovely as a Tree
Ink: Soft Suede and Memento Black
Stampin' Blends: Old Olive, Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Daffodil Delight (headlights)
Stampin' Write: Real Red
I colored and cut out the truck, removing the tree from the back and popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals.
I colored two Rhinestones with Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends and added them to the headlights.
Don't forget to give your envelope some love of the Designer Series Papers as well!
Thank you for looking in today! It's Hump Day!

This was another Make and Take from our team meeting last Monday. These came out so cute! Thank you Lorri for coming up with this great idea!
The ornament came from Hobby Lobby and are very easy to assemble. There is a template inside to use for your base circle.
We used Pool Party for the center and stamped on the back with Real Red (see 2nd picture below).
On the other side that you see below, we attached the fence from Farmhouse Framelits dies and trimmed to the circle.
Stamp, die cut and color with colors of your choice. I used Real Red, Garden Green, Basic Black and Smoky Slate. Stamp, die cut and color the tree with Crumb Cake. Pop up the tree with dimensionals.
Add some white glimmer paper for snow and attach it above the tree. Then adhere the truck with a double thickness of dimensionals. I added a bit of Multipurpose Glue as well because getting things to stick to glimmer paper can be a bit difficult.
Add a bunch of dots of glue to the Pool Party and then shake on some Dazzling Diamonds for the effect of snow. We also added some Mica Flakes before closing and sealing the ornament shut with Tear and Tape and Ribbon.
Thank you for looking in today. Happy Saturday Everyone!

I'm trying to get to bed early, and I'm not going to make it... but I wanted to share a couple of our swaps from Mondays' Team Meeting. Both of these were made by my Fearless Leader - Lorri Heiling.
Cocoa season will soon be here and what better way than with a cute little packet to present it in and a candy cane to stir it all up!
And this fun card using the truck and tree from Farmhouse Christmas.
Christmas will be here before you know it! Start making plans to get those cards made and in the mail.
Thank you for looking in today - Happy Thursday!
