For my Opa’s 85th birthday last summer my entire extended family got together at a beach resort to celebrate. I really wanted to create a special card for my Opa to show him how much he means to me.

I used the new Hand Delivered host stamp set, with Basic Black, Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay, Pool Party and Crumb Cake to make it masculine. I used Stampin’ Blends for the coloring. Truly Tailored DSP (Designer Series Paper) adds to the masculine look. The central ballon was fussy cut and attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For the inside I used the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set and the Balloon Bouquet punch with the same color scheme and Stampin’ Blends.

Finally, I used the Lined Alphabet stamp set and Stampin’ Blends to decorate the envelope.
