Another Happy Birthday and a Ribbon Card

So....I didn't realize my neighbor (who I made a card for that I showed in my last post) was making her birthday party as a joint party for both her and her husband, since his birthday was not too long ago. So I decided to make him a card, too. I reallllllly don't see this card as manly AT ALL, but it's cheerful and at least not girly, so that's the best I can do. I used the E.A.D. design summer color challenge colors and I just had fun with it!

And...here's the back, where I usually just put the "handed stamped by" stamp, which I sign underneath of. This time I had smeared some inky spot on the back by accident, so this is my funky way of covering it! Cute! (Tooting my own horn here...)

Supplies:

Off-white card stock

MSE Happy Birthday stamp set (I used the dot, the sentiment, and the hat on the back from there, and I used a Happy Birthday sentiment on the inside which I didn't taker a picture of)

K&Company hat sticker -it was a different color but I covered it with the yellow paper to make it match the challenge colors and I drew stripes on it.

Ranger Adirondack ink in Red Pepper and Denim

Yellow paper and olive-y paper (It's olive!! It just photographed really dark...)

Fiskars threading water punch

Black ink

Since I was already making cards, I decided to make one using ribbon, since I feel like I've abandoned my poor ribbons lately.

I used a technique a lot of people have used- not quite sure of the official name for this, but it's just the "laying across a bunch of ribbon scraps in a window kind of look" technique, I guess.

Not to many supplies here, since I honestly don't know where most of my ribbons are from, but let me try to guess, haha:

I think the striped on with the white background is K&Company, while the orange one is Autumn Leave and the rest are from an MSE grabbox or from a random drawer in my house...

To make the grey frame, I used my paper trimmer and carefully took a 3" by 4" rectangle and cut line 3/4" around each edge. I tied the ribbon on one side, did some faux stitching and writing with my Uni-Ball Signo Broad gel pen, and put some foam adhesive underneath before sticking it to an off-white card stock base. Easy!!

I love it, so let me know what you think!

Comment, please!
