The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.
I cut a 2" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DPS) from the "Waterslide Resort" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to a 2-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Old Olive card stock. Then I taped that to the front of the card about 1-5/8" from the bottom edge.
The "happy birthday" was stamped next. It's from the "Wild Bunch" set and was stamped using Old Olive ink. I stamped them just above the layered piece. Anywhere in that area would look good.
The circle was actually in my package of DSP. It had been cut using the largest stitched circle die in the "Stylish Shapes" set. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card about 1/4" from the top and left side.
I fussy cut the oars, vest and bobber. I set the oars and bobber in place using Dimensionals.
For a little bling, I added a few green "Genial Gems" (retired). I have a few left and that package will be used up! Can't wait for that! It's not often that I use up my packages of bling but I'm working on it. These seemed to blend in well with the colors on the card and that's why I used them.
This was a fun, quick, and easy card to make. I think the circle could have used a layer but there isn't one in the set, I used the largest. But it's still nice looking.
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's masculine birthday card,
Wanda
