Masculine Birthday Card

Do you make a lot of masculine cards? 

I don’t know why, but, I just do not create a lot of masculine cards.

And, it’s not that they are harder to do than more feminine cards. 

In fact, they probably are easier to make. 

So, I decided to do a masculine birthday card and

 even threw in a matching envelope for 

my first CutCardStock project this month.

Materials

Stardream Metallic Card Stock in Copper, Opal and Saturn. 

This card stock is the Monthly Specialfor May.

Cougar NATURAL 80 lb. cardstock 8.5×11

3-D Embossing Folder, Square Die, Star Dies, Sentiment Dies, Guitar Stamp, Ink Pads, Adhesive

Card Base

I started with my card base that measures 5 x 6 1/2 inches.

It was cut from a piece of the Cougar Natural Card Stock. Cut to 10 x 6 1/2 inches, score at 5 inches along the 10 inch side and fold.

A piece of Saturn Stardream Metallic was cut to 5 x 6 1/2 inches. Copper Stardream Metallic was cut to 4 3/4 x 6 1/2 inches.

I cut a piece of Opal Stardream Metallic to 4 5/8 x 6 1/8 inches. This piece was embossed with the Gemini 3D Geometric Triangles embossing folder.

Layer the 3 pieces Stardream Metallic card stock onto the card base.

Embellishments

4 1 inch squares were cut out of the Saturn and Copper card stock to total 8. These were cut in half and arranged onto a strip of the Cougar Natural card stock measuring @ 5 7/8 x 1 3/8 inches.

Die cut 2 stars and sentiment.

Stamp the guitar onto Cougar Natural with brown ink and 

heat emboss with clear embossing powder. 

Fussy cut.

Envelope

Take an A7 envelope like the Leader Opaque LEE Envelopes, 

Stamp in the lower left hand corner of the front side.

I added 3 mini pearls to the guitar to finish.
