Vintage Golf, Maculine Birthday Card

This was a fun card created for my father.  
Happy Birthday Dad!!

My father is an avid golfer as well as one heck of a history buff, so the vintage golf theme seemed like a perfect fit for a handmade birthday card.  I just loved putting this vintage inspired card together for him.

  When I was flipping through my stamp collection, I fell in love, all over again, with this vintage golfer image and I knew that I wanted it to take centre stage on the front of this birthday card.  The vintage golfer is a stamp from Flonz Craft, a New Zealand based company.  Flonz Craft produces some of the most gorgeous stamps that I have come across so far and I would highly recommend checking them out if you are at all interested in vintage imagery.

 The inside of the card is layered and stamped using a wonderful sentiment from Stampin' Up!  A little added interest is achieved through the use of a small folded piece of ribbon on the left hand side and a popup layer on top of the card's sentiment.

Hope you enjoy this card as much as I do and thank you, once again, for stopping by the blog.  Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

Much Love,

Mrs. Rasberry

Cheers to You, Happy 60th Birthday Card

This was a fun card to create for a friend of mine.  She had asked for something along the theme of wine or travel.  I chose wine, since I knew that I had the perfect stamp set: Stampin' Up!'s Happy Hour! While digging through my patterned paper, I came across this fun background print.  The paper is from an old scrapbook calendar that I had been given by another good friend of mine.  She had no use for an outdated calendar, but thought that the papers inside were right up my alley.  Boy, was she right?!  I just love the simplicity of this print as well as the imperfect, hand drawn affect of the striped lines.  It seems, to me, to make this card more personal.
