Brushed with Beauty, Petals of Beauty, Simply Said, Masculine Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

 Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have another masculine birthday card to share with you.  Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Pecan Pie card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.  

I cut two pieces of Very Vanilla card stock at 4" x 5-1/4".  I taped one on the inside and the other I textured using the "Stone & Vine" embossing folder. I glued that to the front of the card.  I placed it under my stamping mat to keep it flat while the glue set up.

In the meantime I cut the Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Brushed with Beauty" 12" x 12" package.  I cut the green one at 1-3/4" x 4-1/2".  And I cut the word one using 1-3/4" x 3-1/2". I glued the green one down first and it's about 1/2" from the fold, the top edge and the bottom edge.  I also glued the other piece in place. It's about 3/4" from the edge of the green piece and about 1/2" from the top and bottom edges of the green piece. I place it back under my mat to set up.

I cut the leaves from the "Petals of Beauty" bundle using Mossy Meadow and Very Vanilla card stock. I added tape to the bottom leaves and set them in place about 2" from the right edge of the card base and 1-5/8" from the right edge of the card base.

The words are from the "Simply Said" set and were stamped using Early Espresso ink on a scrap piece of Very Vanilla card stock. I cut them out using the third largest die in the "Nested Essentials" die set. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card about 1-1/4" from the bottom edge of the card base and 3/8" from the right edge of the card base.  And the card was done.

This was another quick and easy masculine card to make. I figured out you can't go wrong with leaves on a masculine card!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's masculine birthday card,
