A 75th birthday to celebrate

January 30, 2017 1 Comment

Last Friday I got to celebrate with some dear friends of mine who I’ve known for over 35 years now. Since three of our birthdays are within 2 weeks of each other during January-February, we try to get together each year for a birthday lunch. The fourth friend’s 65th birthday was late November (you can see the card I sent her here), but we always celebrate her birthday with ours.

This year we celebrated two 65th birthdays, a 75th and a 76th birthday (I guess that’s what happens after 35+ years!). Today’s card  I’m sharing (made using the FMS272 sketch) is for my friend’s 75th birthday this week.

I decided to use soft colors for her card, including some retired colors, but they just perfect for what I had in mind for her.  She wears beautiful outfits with matching jewelry (that she makes!) in these colors (Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Coastal Cabana, and Baked Brown Sugar), so I knew she’d enjoy the color combination. I have a hard time just leaving the background plain, so I embossed it using the Falling Petals folder. I like the look of the delicate flowers/hearts to give texture and interest.

Here’s the dimensions for the card:

  • Crisp Cantaloupe card base cut 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ folded in half
  • Very Vanilla cut 5″ x 3-3/4″
  • Scraps of Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding and Baked Brown Sugar for the various die cut shapes
