Clean and Simple Birthday

Hi Stampers,

Here's a quick birthday card we needed for a male friend.  I find masculine cards very hard to make, as do many of you.  I love Stampin' Up!'s new Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper Stack found in the new Occasions Mini (see button on right).  I've been using it quite a bit lately.  This card uses four more of the patterned papers included in that stack.

The card base is Kraft card stock.  The next layer is Taken with Teal with a Whisper White layer coming next.  I used the 1-1/4" Square punch to punch four different DSPs and layered them on the Whisper White card stock.  I used Natural Hemp to tie a bow and adhered using a Mini Glue Dot.  I was going for the gift package look here.  This is attached to the card base using Stampin' Dimensionals.

The greeting is from the stamp set, On Your Birthday.  I stamped on Whisper White card stock using Sahara Sand Classic Ink.  I punched the same Designer Papers using 1/4" Square punch and 2-Way Glue Pen to adhere.  I angled the square punch at the end to create a flag look.  This is layered on a strip of Taken with Teal, using the square punch on the end of this as well. 

As always, this card is all Stampin' Up!, all the time.
