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.

Take your Stamping to the Extreme

Take your stamping to the extreme with our new extreme stamp sets and these cool ideas.  Whether you're a total newbie or ready to go pro, you're sure to pick up one or two new tricks.

In our world, the surf is always just right!  Simply turn an oval punch at an angle and punch along the entire edge of your card stock.  And remember, the smaller the oval, the rougher the surf.

Feel the salty spray of the sea by stamping, then stamping off, an Extreme Element image on textured card stock.

 

 

 

Don't let your kid see you taking his toy truck--he'll never believe you want it to stamp with.  Just ink up those wheels and roll the truck over your card stock.  Keep going until the wheels are clean.

 

 

 

Create an accent worthy of that 90-footer:  Stamp off an image multiple times, dragging the edge of your rubber between images.  Now that's our kind of shredding!

You don't need a snow machine to make this kind of powder, no matter the season.  Just stamp and Extreme Element and heat emboss with White Stampin' Emboss powder, then punch it out!

He liked it, he really liked it!

I made this card for my husband's birthday and he told me that he really liked it! It's one of the best feelings knowing that I hit the right mark with his card. I personalized the card for Josh with a chocolate cupcake and the color blue. Tip: Use the Top Notes Die for an easy and eye-catching background.

To make the cupcake chocolate I stamped then cut out the base of the cupcake in chocolate chip ink and card stock and layered the cut-out whisper white on top. And of course, a cupcake stamp isn't the same without a layer of chunky glitter added on top!

Have I mentioned how much I love the Crazy for Cupcakes stamp set?
