Masculine Birthday card

Happy Monday. I hope everyone weathered the storms on the East Coast and are making it back to normal. Here in Virginia we were fortunate not to have too much wind and rain and school resumed for the kids today.

So on to the card for today. I created a masculine birthday card on the fly when my husband came home from his morning walk yesterday and said his cousin's birthday was that very day. I didn't have one that would fit this recipient so I went to crafting and created one in time for his afternoon walk.  The recipient seemed to enjoy it and I was happy I could create a card so quickly.

Check out the project below and let me know what you think.

I also used a Momenta cutting template for the word happy.

Instructions:

1.  Create your card base 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2".

2.  Run the Crumb Cake card stock (4” x 5 ¼”) panel through the Dotted Rectangles die and adhere this to the card base.

3.  Cut a piece of the dsp to measure 3 ¾” x 5” and adhere to the Crumb Cake layer.

4.  Cut another piece of dsp ( I used the reverse side of the previous piece) to 2 ¼” x 3 ¼” and a piece of the Tranquil Tide card stock.  On the card stock piece use the Crumb Cake ink and the stencil and add the ink on the panel.  Adhere these 2 pieces together and then pop  up with fun foam and adhere in the center of the card front.

5.  Die-cut the numbers out of the same dsp used on the 3rd layer and again with fun foam.  Adhere the two together and then adhere one higher than the other on the front of the card. Die-cut the word happy 3 times with adhesive sheets behind each (makes it chipboard-like).  place at the top of the numbers on the front of the card.

6.  Using the Crushed Curry card stock backed with adhesive sheets and the stars from the Mini Treat Bag die set, run through the die cutting machine.  Place 3 of the stars at the top left and bottom right corners and then place on on the card front.
