A very warm welcome to my teeny, tiny part of the huge world of blogging. This is where I share my passion for making hand made greeting cards. So - why "Always with a Heart"? Well this is for two reasons. Firstly, it is because every card I produce carries a heart on it somewhere. This can be big and bold or small and almost hidden - the fun sometimes is just trying to find it! Secondly it is because I put my heart into everything I produce. I hope that any visitors enjoy seeing what I post. If you drop by then please leave me a comment so that I know you called. It would be nice to know that you have found my heart in what I do.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR HEART !!

Hi Everyone

Yes, today is the day my lovely has a birthday!!

Happy Birthday Mr Heart .. .. and thank you for being the best hubby a gal could ever wish for!!

I made a special card for him in celebration based on a picture I saw on Pinterest which linked to here.

I didn't find any templates etc but simply cut shapes by hand or by using the Nestabilitie dies listed below.




This used:

Backing Papers:  DCWV "All About Boys" Stack
Sentiment:  Digistamp Boutique "Simple Birthday Greetings - Male"
Nestabiltie Dies:  Classic Circles and Labels Two - everything else hand cut
Hot Fix Studs
Distress Inks
White Gel Pen
Metallic Cord

As I was able to use up my snippets for this creation I am going to strum my way along to Di's Crafty Snippet Challenge.

I am well chuffed with this and hubby was too.  When he opened it he said "that's posh".  I think that means it is a hit  LOL!!!

I will just have to hope that Son number two doesn't want it replicating for all his band mates as I have used the last bit of my wood effect paper.   I will have to keep my eye open for some more!


Have a great day everyone. 

Love

Di said...

Oh Jules, this is truly a stunner!! I know Len would be thrilled to pieces with a card like this - he has five guitars here - it's absolutely PERFECT!!

Wood effect paper - hmm, what about the dolls house section somewhere like Hobbycraft?

I have to wait until October next year for Len's birthday but I'll be following this theme very closely - you clever little sausage (and I prefer it to the one on Pinterest).

And Happy Birthday to Mr Heart for today.

Love, Di xx

Wow Jules, that is an amazing card and to top it off, cut by hand! You are a clever lady :)

Mr Heart is right, it's very posh and rightly so for a man held so dear by your good self.

Hope you have a lovely family celebration.

What a fabulous card Jules, I might have to 'borrow' this design for my son's card next year - he plays guitar and sings in a band - it was his birthday today as well. I think "that's posh" means it was a definite hit. Happy Birthday to Mr Heart.
