Hello, and thanks for checking in today.
My masculine birthday card is showcasing the Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper. It’s free for just about another week during Stampin’ Up!’s Sale-A-Bration promotion.
As you can see, I mixeed color and patterns using a neutral Gray Granite cardstock card base. My color palette is inspired by the Designer Series Paper. The neutral base colors, Gray Granite and Crushed Curry, give the top colorful layer a little more depth. The top layer is attached to the card base with glue, but it almost looks as though I attached it with Dimensionals.
The large “Happy Birthday” sentiment is attached with Dimensionals.
This is a quick and easy card design you can use with any patterned paper you have. Remember to keep the background patterns simple, and make the top layer bolder. It’s fun to play with your patterns this way.
So, let’s make a card!
