Birthday Card for my Husband / Tarjeta de Cumpleanos para mi Esposo

Today is my husband’s birthday!  Each year I buy him one of those giant chocolate chip cookie cakes from the mall, and it’s something he looks forward too.  So of course, it seemed appropriate to make a cookie for his card.  I like the simplicity of this card and it seems to really work for a masculine card.

Amanda’s Stamp Pad Tips:

• Coordinate the envelope to the card by using Stampin’ Write markers in the colors used on the card—in this card I used Chocolate Chip for the main part of the writing (fitting, huh?), then highlighted with a Not Quite Navy Stampin’ Write marker.
• The cookie was created using the 1 3/4” circle punch, then I used the scallop circle to punch a little “bite” out of the cookie.
• I used a Chocolate Chip Stampin’ Write marker to create the “chocolate chips” on the cookie (again, fitting, huh?).
• To add a little extra dimension, I roughed up the edges of the Old Olive square.  This is really easy with the Cutter Kit (106958  Price: $16.95) when you use the distressing tool.
• I used Creamy Caramel ink and a blender pen to give the cookie a shadow around the edge and to make it look more three-dimensional.
