How about making the little stick people out of a candle stamp.

How about an over the hill card that has a boulder rolling down it...like a spinner card!

It may take some time getting it all planned....I'll keep thinking.

For my sister's 50th, I took one candle and stamped it 50 times all over the card....front and inside. Then I wrote a little note....'Yep, there's 50 of 'em....wanna count?"

But, for others, I've just used the Over the Hill set. I love it!!!

What about the bikini bottom with the princess crown tattoo? That would be a real hoot for a 50th b-day card--especially if your FIL wants something silly.

As far as the Sketch It set goes, you could use the heart stamp to make a nice cleavage card. Check the gallery for some great samples of this!

My oldest daughter just turned 40 and my other daughter wanted to make something a little different for her. I asked her if it was okay to forward this on to you. Hopefully the humor won't offend anyone ... but if you want out of the box and if your FIL has a sense of humor, check out the card she made
