Because I am a Stampin Up Demonstrator, I always grab current SU products when stamping. When I make a card for a relative or friend, sometimes I like to play with some retired products. This is my hubby's birthday card...he is turning the big "five-oh" this Saturday. I used the retired set, Birthday Whimsy (love that set), and retired SU wire works for the balloon strings. Oh, and I also dug up a Cuttlebug folder to emboss the banana paper.
I based this card on a card I found on SCS. You can view that card here Hubby's B-day by stampinupconsultan at Splitcoaststampers
