Blessed the Man

Happy Friday!!!  It's time for a new challenge from the Cut It Up Challenge Blog.  This week, the challenge is: This Makes Me Having

Here is my card for your inspiration:
So, the things on this card that makes me happy are: Dies (I love using dies on my cards), blue, patterned paper (it's so hard to rest a beautiful sheet of patterned paper) and clear stamps.  Oh, and adorable little enamel dots!!
This is a birthday card for an older gentleman we know who is celebrating his 88th birthday this weekend!!  I used three different sheets of patterned paper--I stamped the sentiment and the lighthouse on the same sheet of patterned paper and used two different sheets for the accent squares.  I die cut the frame die out of navy cardstock once and a dark gray cardstock twice before adhering them all together for a bit of dimension.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you will hop over to the Cut It Up blog for the full details of the challenge and to see what the rest of the Design Team has created. 

Supplies:
Stamps: Repeat Impressions "Cape Hatteras Light"; Verve Jeremiah 17:7 plain jane
Dies: Lawn Fawn "Peek-a-boo Background"

Challenges:
The Paper Shelter #664--these are a few of my favorite things (dies, clear stamps, blue, and enamel dots!)
Crafter's Cafe #326--one for the boys
We Love Stamping--hearts OR anything goes













Aud Sentiments #334--dies AND/OR love, anniversary, wedding
Word Power--anything goes with sentiment as the focus
Word Art Wednesday #738--anything goes with uplifting sentiment

    So much crafty happiness packed into one card—I love it! The mix of patterned papers is so well done, and stamping right onto the pattern adds such a unique touch. That layered frame gives it just the right dimension too. And enamel dots? Always a win in my book! What a thoughtful, beautifully made card for such a special celebration—he’s going to love it!
