Happy Man Birthday!

Hi there!
I have not made many male birthday cards so I made this:

Let's play spot the mistake on today's card -
I smudged the white gel pen on the right hand side so I covered it with some gems but you can still see a bit if you look closely. Ah well!

For this card I used:
Nitwits LOTV 'Candles & Cake' paper
Die Versions Happy Birthday die

Isn't it just so frustrating when you get to the end of your card and muck it up?!
I think that I might have to put something over the top.

Thank you for stopping by today and hopefully I'll be back soon with a card that I am happy with!

Perfectly Penned

Good morning all.

I hope you are having a lovely weekend - shame about the weather. Who stole the sunshine?!

Here is my card for today which I thought would be good for a male!:

I used lots of snippets of card which have been embossed ( saved from a previous card ). Then I punched the ends with SU hexagon punch which saved measuring or die cutting. The sentiment is SU 'Perfectly Penned' stamped with 'Soft Suede' ink pad and the card base is SU 'Crumb Cake'.

I hope to squeeze in some craft time today after I've done some dreaded housework! Wouldn't it be so nice to have a cleaner...cook....gardener....laundry service............etc..,etc.,   sigh!

Thanks for stopping by today - TTFN.
