Just a couple of weekends ago was my father-in-laws birthday. He’s big into classic cars and so the He’s All That bundle is perfect for this classic handmade masculine birthday card. And to step it up a bit there were a few things I wanted to pair it with for this card design.
For the card base I used Night of Navy and then layered a few different things on top. The first layer is a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock that I stamped with the paint splatter image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set. Next I embossed it using the Timber 3D embossing folder. Then I tore a piece of the Vellum 12 x 12 Layering Designs. To hide the adhesive I placed it in the centre so I could cover it up with the phrase.
The phrase came from the He’s All That stamp set. Of course I went with the one with the classic card! Then I cut it out with one of the coordinating dies. I popped it up with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals and then added a bit of Crumb Cake twine behind it. To top it all off I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots.
I really like how this classic handmade masculine birthday card turned out. And I hope my father-in-law enjoys it!
Since I got the He’s All That bundle, making masculine cards has been so much easier! I know I’m not the only one that finds these kinds of cards trickier to design. To help spark some more inkspiration, check out this other card I made with this great set of stamps and dies here.
