Sunday was my eldest grandchild’s birthday. He turned 18 and my first thought was “holy crap, where did the time go?”.
I’d seen cards with a similar message (on Pinterest), so decided to make such a card for him.
I cut some tissue paper to size and rolled it around a strip of cardstock that matched the base. I attached it to a card topper I’d embossed with a masculine embossing folder.
I hand wrote the message as I had no stamps I could use. And because I was using cardstock, decided it would be a little more difficult putting it through my printer. (I’m sure the less technically challenged could manage that!)
Last of all I cut out the number 18 using the same cardstock as the base. And that was it – my card was done.
FYI, it did elicit a small smile from him. Quite an accomplishment given his age, AND he’s a male. 🙂

What a wonderful card design.
Thanks so much, Verna.
Fab and fun card for a masculine 18th design, I’ll bet he loved it!
Thanks so much, Therese. I got the tiny hint of a smile, so I do think he liked it. 🙂
