Birthday Card Idea - He Turns 33

My brother-in-law just celebrated his 33rd birthday in January. So this is the first birthday card idea I came up with for 2009. As it's for a guy, I went for more earthy tones with a touch of bright yellow to brighten up an otherwise muted-tone card.
Card Making Steps
1. Create a cardblank with the purple cardstock. 2. Cut out a block of brown patterned paper and adhere it to the right-side of the cardblank. Draw faux stitches with black pen. 3. Cut out a block of the measuring tape patterned paper and adhere it across the cardblank. Attach a strip of the blue/white patterned paper and a strip of black stain ribbon vertically down the right-side of the cardblank. 4. Draw an arrow on yellow cardstock. Doodle within the arrow. Cut it out and attach it to the card as shown. Punch out a circle from red cardstock and adhere it to encircle "33". Attach buttons to the card as shown. 5. Cut out a block of blue cardstock. Stamp greetings on it and outline the words. Ink the edges with black ink. Cut out a bigger block of red patterned paper. Attach the blue block on top of the red block. Attach the completed block to top of the card. 6. Doodle a border around the card using black pen. Round the corners of the completed card with corner-rounder.
