I also heat embossed his name on the envelope. I like to give my interns a small gift of thanks when they leave--and I have a passion for a good pen, so Neil got a lovely cross pen that I found on one of my trips overseas and when I went back I bought a few of them as I have not found this style in the US. You would be surprised as to what impression a pen can make!
Tonight the birthday book will be handed over--and Saturday I will be diving head first into crafting--I have a number of trips planned and want to make sure I have plenty to share when I can not actually craft.
Have a great weekend!
Fantastic card. I so love the paper pleating! It does add great texture to the card. Grantabulous striped paper too! Sorry your losing ur intern, but happy you shared his great card with us! Happy travels!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great card Bryan. The colors are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteReally like the paper pleating. I'll have to try that. Thanks.

I DO like this this card. Very simple, manly looking and the ribbons is terrific. I got into a "brown mood" and developed a number of "brown" cards recently. I think it shows class and can be used for either sex cardgiving.

Bryan, this is a gorgeous card. Those pleats are amazing! I am sure he will love it. I am still waiting to feature you....... Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card - love the colors, pp and those pleats!
ReplyDeleteJust lovely Bryan!I too like a good pen. I hate it when you leave it laying on your desk and it walks away all by itself! I have learned not to do that. I keep the good ones in my purse. Of course you don't carry a purse, but you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteNice card, very masculine.

Bryan,
ReplyDeleteI love it!!! :) And I noticed the great ribbon before I read your mention of it (it's too bad it's the last, but I can see why it was your favorite)! I also noticed the designer paper at the bottom & was going to ask if it was pleated or cut...very neat effect!
Thanks so much for sharing,
Jennifer

ReplyDeleteVery nice Thank You card. I am sure he loved it and his pen. I too like a good pen but am cheap and don't buy them.
I like the idea of the pleated paper. Thanks!
