Simple Masculine Birthday Card

by Fion

This is a simple, masculine birthday card I made for a guy friend. As I wanted to make it happy-looking, I chose bright, bold colors of green, orange and red.

The card came together quickly because I was following one of Becky Higgin's scrapbook sketches.

Card Making Steps:

1. Create a cardblank with green cardstock.

2. Cut out blocks from the patterned papers and adhere to the card as shown. Use a black pen to draw borders for each block.

3. Cut out an orange block from the orange cardstock. Use black pen to handwrite greetings and draw "stitches" around the block. Adhere it to the top center of the card at an angle.

4. Use the tag-labeler to tag out sentiments on the red label. Attach labels to the bottom of the card.

5. Cut out a strip of orange ribbon and attach it to the left-hand side of the card.

Card Making Supplies Used:

Green and orange cardstock from Bazzill Basics Paper
Striped patterned paper from SEI Simple Sets
Yellow patterned paper by Brenda Pinnick by Paper Confections
Orange ribbon by Celebrate
Black pens by Pilot Drawing Pen; Writer by Zig Memory System
Tag labeler and red label
