Another "Happy Birthday" (Masculine).

Hey ya'll! It's been a little bit, since my last post....but I'm here today, sharing another masculine birthday card with you!!

This took some thinking, again! And this one is for my husband, so I wanted it to be a little extra special! :) *note: don't get me wrong, all my cards are special to me! I just figured since my husband's getting old (not really), I'd put a little more time into his card (I am so bad at times, that I'm usually making his card, the day before or even on his birthday)!




So, I went with using some natural items, again. This time....Burlap! Who would of ever thought?! I liked the texture and the color to it and figured it would work for a masculine card. I still wanted to keep my card fairly simple, so I didn't do anything too crazy. But I'm happy with how my card came out! :) I'm sure my husband will love it....I'll just have to wait and see!

Thank you for stopping by and enjoy your day!

  1. I've often wondered about the same supply question. I am running out of free time lately so I've skipped it. I think if people were curious and I didn't include it in my post, that they would email me.
    Your card is wonderful, a perfect amount of masculine texture.

  2. Great masculine card, Shelly! I agree with Karen, it takes a long time to list and link the supplies, and I guess if someone really had a question about something they's ask. If I look at anything in supply lists it is usually regarding the stamps they used (what company makes it, the name, etc.).

  3. I think this is so beautiful! I love how you put the burlap shape below the longer patterned piece. I would have done the opposite, but this is so much more pleasing to the eye. Love the font of the sentiment too!
