Hi world!
Just popping in super quick here.
I have a Papertrey Ink peek tomorrow to kickoff the countdown 😀 So I have to finish getting that done, and again finish up stuff for my big news! AND, I have to get my butt in gear for my classes at The Paper Tree. YIKES -Tick, tock.
In the meantime here is the card I made Jason, for his 31st birthday!
You know you’re old when-set is by Gina K Designs
I don’t know what it was about this set, but I really just HAD to have it. Granted it has never seen ink until 2 weeks ago, but the important thing is it was there when I NEEDED IT!
I think the set is hilarious and has the best sentiments! I fell in love with this old guy for some reason. He isn’t my “usual” style and I like that sometimes.
Jason is the one with the sense of humor in the relationship. So, when thinking of WHAT set to use for his card (he gets really mad if I don’t make him a card, and holds me to high standards! LOL!) this one came to mind because of the OLD MAN 😀
I colored him all up to match my strip of paper (Basic Grey paper- Cucpacke collection??), using my Copic markers. I then added fun flock to the hair on his head, and in his ears! LOL! Its really cool in person.
OK blurry photo-sorry.
Anyway, for the inside I stamped ALL the hilarious sentiments from this set.
It turned out really cute, and was such a Jason card 😀
I swear he is going to look just like this when he gets old! LOL!
I used my number collage embossing folder, inked up for the bkgd piece on this card too.
All in all this card took about 20 minutes. The layout was what stumped me most.
Well thanks for checking in with me everyone. I still have SO much stuff to share but LIFE is demanding to be first these day, and deadlines! LOL!
Don’t miss tomorrow’s post.
Later!

You used ‘all’ the sentiments inside? Oh my. I’ll have to stop by Gina K’s site and see what the funny sentiments are!

Love the way you colored him.
I love it. Especially the flock in his ears. Awesome!
That is the cutest card! The fun flock in the ears is so funny!! Gina
Oh my gosh, you used all the sentiments for the inside? Wow! I wonder what he said about the bra size one. *snicker* That card is too cute and the set is too funny. I’ve used it more than once and get a laugh out it every time I pull it out.
