Birthday Card

Can you believe this card has nothing Cricut......

This is a quick birthday card I made for my borther-in-law.

One of the hardest cards for me to make are masculine. I struggle with cards for men all the time. I think this card is great for either a man or women. It's a little Kristina Werner inspired. I love her videos.

The picture doesn't do the card justice. I had a hard time getting a good angle that would pick up the stamped image.


The stamp is from a Birthday Sentiments collection by Inkadinkado. I think I got mine at Michaels. I embossed the candle with clear embossing powder to give it that watermark look. Don't ya just love the "Earth love" paper collection by Cosmo Cricket, the colors are my favorites.


Enjoy!

  1. Hi Christine!

    I am learning so much from you - I am even wathing the videos for the carts that I do not have.
    Just wondering if you have the "Fabulous Findings" Cart? I got it on the recommendation of someone and now I have not a clue what I can do with it. Any ideas?

  10. Masculine cards are so difficult for me too. Does anyone know of a book or something that can give us ideas on masculine cards? I think a lot of crafters are women and we know what we like in a card but, not necessarily what men like. We always want to add bows and ribbon and bling. mississchic@yahoo.com
