A 'Clean and Simple' Male Birthday Card

Today, I have another of last month's birthday cards I made for my God-daughter's
husband, who celebrated his 40th birthday.


I started by embossing a frame directly onto the base card, then die cut two of the smaller
stitched label dies, and adhered them onto the embossed frame with 3D foam squares.
Next, I cut two number 40's, one in gold mirri card, the other in the brown card,
and glued them onto the label, slightly off-setting them.

The products I have used are:-
Spellbinders - Labels 1
Stitched Label dies - from The Works
Trim Craft First Edition - Number and Date Dies
Die'Sire - Happy Birthday

Challenges entered:-
Crafty Catz - Anything Goes with a twist of Embossing

Scrapyland - Embossing/Heat or Dry

    A perfect CAS masculine card, Janice. Embossing the frame give the card a really elegant look. I picked up a set of the stitched labels dies from The Works a few days ago. I was impressed how well they cut for such a bargain price. xx

    Not only clean and simple, but I find it elegant too! It's perfect for a masculine birthday card and if you change up the colors it would work well for a feminine one too! It's a great classic design!

    Super card! The combination of dies is just perfect!

    Thanks for your kind words at Little Red Wagon. I'm so sorry to read that you also lost your husband recently. The heartache is excruciating...

    Thanks for joining us at Little Red Wagon this week.
