Handmade Masculine Birthday Card
I love quick and easy cards and this handmade masculine birthday card idea fits the bill.
This masculine birthday idea is so easy to make. The pattern paper and embossing make it quick also. I love the brick pattern in the In Good Taste pattern paper and thought it paired well with the Brick & Mortar embossing folder. The colors came from the pattern paper.
I added a blue for the pop of color. Since the blue panel looked odd, I decided to add some subtle stamping. I took the fern from Positive Thoughts and using a second generation stamping I added some images. Second generation stamping is where you ink up your stamp and stamp it on scrap paper first and then stamp on your card stock. All it needed after that was my sentiment, twine, and gems – yes gems are good for guys also!
