The teapotters are sending birthday cards to Joe, who is Jacqueline's dh. I remembered I had some beer dsp so I just used an arch die to diecut the image. I embossed with a zigzag ef in black for the background. I glued a strip of soft seafoam at the bottom of it and I used thin dimensionals on the rest of it to attach it to the embossed black background. The playful alphabet dies have a die which joins the o and e which I thought was interesting. I doubled the letters and the classic label punch before adhering with foam on the numbers and dimensionals on the label punch. I added the 60 and the tiny clouds at the top.

Cutting it with the arch like that gives it something of a jukebox look! Fun alphabet - I would have thought you had bought that name tag! I like the way the clouds echo the foam on the beer.

Fantastic design, Shirl! You totally knocked this out of the ballpark! The personalization (those joined letter dies look great) is the icing on the cake! Joe will surely be very impressed with this!

Beautiful card Shirl, I love how you layered the 60 and Joe's name. The use of the sunburst bg in grey really sets your card off with all your elements in the middle with your happy BD with the great mugs of beer.

What a fantastic masculine card—so full of personality and clever detail! The beer-themed paper under that arch shape gives it such a fun pub-style vibe, and I love how the joined letters and popped-up numbers add movement and depth. The embossed background and tiny clouds are brilliant finishing touches. Joe is sure to feel celebrated with this one!
