All Geared Up

At time of writing, we were seeing our son on the weekend to take him out for a celebratory birthday lunch.  I still can’t quite believe we have a son who is now in his early 40s!!!

I wanted a quick and simple card which would reflect his love of cars, and in Stampin’ Up!’s new-ish Spring/Summer Catalogue we have a bundle which is just the ticket!

Do you have the Big Shot embossing mats?  I love them!  Did you know you can use these special embossing plates to get more out of  your dies other than for die cutting?    This is the first time I used the grey mat – I usually use the thin blue silicon mat, but I thought I’d give the grey one a try and it leaves a much deeper impression and it’s fantastic!  See for yourself!

It’s safe to post now as I delivered his card to him personally, and I doubt very much that he would visit my blog – that would be uncool (winks).

In case you’re wondering, the sentiment for the inside of the card comes from the “Stitched All Round” stamp set.  I just love the font on it.
