A guy card...

My hubby celebrated a birthday Saturday and this is the card I made him. It's simple, as most of my cards, yet I really like it. I don't do a lot of fancy cards since most of my local customers like the easy to do cards. Anyway...


Again I used a cuttlebug folder and beige/black Core'Dinations cardstock for the striped background. I layered it on some brown cardstock that I've had forever. The tree is from the Good Timber set and the label is from Label Lingo, a hostess set. Both are stamped with Burnt Umber PH ink (and I need to get the refill now) to coordinate with the cardstock. The Good Timber set is great for masculine cards and you can jazz it up by using the Stardust Clear Gel pen or even white liquid applique for a snow effect. A very versatile set!

I got a new cuttlebug folder this weekend and hope to play with it soon. Also got the Nested Pines die by Spellbinders which I hope to use for a December class at the AZ Scrapbooking store in Green Valley, AZ.

I really like what that paper and the embossing did for a background! Guy card ideas are always nice
