I hear from many people that masculine cards are hard for them to create. So today I have one for you that is Quick and Easy and could be for any occasion.

Start with a half sheet of cardstock. Any color will do. I have chosen white for this card. Then choose a Designer Series Paper (DSP) that works with your card base. You can choose the paper first and then pick a card base that works also. I have used Tetured Chic #158808. The card base is cut to 8 1/2″ xx 5 1/2″, the Designer series paper is cut to 4″ x 5 1/4″. Wrap ribbon around the DSP about at the middle. Adhere to the back of the paper and mount DSP in card base.

Use whatever greeting you choose, here I have Happy Birthday from Biggest Wishes #155052. I stamped HAPPY with Soft Succulent Ink #155778 on Soft Succulent Paper #155776. This is an In Color selection. Next I stamped birthday with Vesamark Ink #102283 and covered with Gold Embossing powder from the Metallics group #155555. Heat with the Heat Tool #129053 until the powder is melted and shiny. Die cut or punch the greeting out. I used the Stitched Rectangle Framelits #148551. Mount with dimensionals #104430 however it looks best to you. I chose an angle mount. Lastly I used the Gold adhesive-backed Swirls #161822 to add some bling.

I can’t wait to see what you create. Post in the comments below.
