My friend Gisela asked me to make a birthday card for her boyfriend Gus. She sent me a few examples of previous cards I've made that she liked. I started one card that was just going in the total WRONG direction (I'll post that one later)...I slept on it and decided to do a criss-cross card after seeing them on Lilsweetpea's Place.
Since Gisela loves the embossed look, I decided that it should be the main focus of the card. So I grabbed my Cuttlebug swirl and swiss dots folder and went to town!
I used a PTI sentiment on the outside and stamped his name with Recollections letters. I finished off the insert with EK Success birthday candle border punch.
That's it for today!! Hope you have a great day!

Oooh, I always love your brown & blue creations! This one is fabulous--I love the wonderful deep embossing and that cute (I mean "manly") candle punch!
This is lovely, oh can I say that since it is for a guy...:) I love the color combination, since that is my DD's favorite, I see it everyday, but love it. Great card, I haven't tried the criss cross card, have had it on my list to do, but now you have totally inspired me.
Oh this is wonderful! I love the embossing and the colors are fantastic. I love that you can see the candle border peeking out!
I love the criss cross cards and forget to make them - this one is awesome for a guy - great colors!
