Today is my husband's 50th birthday. He was born in 1962, but rather than go with the "over the hill"/ graveyard theme, I decided on a 50's theme. The Mad Men-esque man is cut at 4" from the Surburbia cartridge, as is "daddy-o" (1").
For the inside I used the Nifty Fifties cartridge and welded the letters and letter shadows for "fifty is". "Nifty" is a phrase on the cartridge.
Colors are Pumpkin Pie, Kiwi Kiss, and Baja Breeze. Patterned paper is old.
I bought a turquoise gift bag and cut a large "nifty" out and glued it on. He is getting a porkpie hat (a la Breaking Bad) and a Heisenberg T-shirt (also BB). Can you tell we are fans? Brad is bald and has a goatee like Walt on BB, so I will post pix of him in his hat.
Thanks for stopping by!
