Mimi, Myself, and I: You're the Best Masculine Birthday Card!

You're the Best Masculine Birthday Card!

One of the reasons for my case of the May Crazies is a flurry of birthdays. My brother-in-law is a self-employed home improvement guru, so I knew JUST what I was going to do for his card when I found the You're the Best My Acrylix stamp set from Close to My Heart.

These tool images are PERFECT for a random stamped background! I used Chocolate Exclusive Ink on Kraft for this one...

These hinges are a long retired CTMH product that I found in my stash. I love how they angled themselves when I added some baker's twine across the back!

The wood grain pattern in the Timberline Paper Packet was an instant favorite. I used the "happy" and "day" from a sentiment in You're the Best to fashion a birthday sentiment with the amazing Framework Alphabet.

What elements do YOU like to include in a masculine card?

I would most humbly ask that you do not reproduce my original creations to use for sale or for entry into any contests. That said, feel free to scraplift any of my designs that you are so inclined to while giving credit to the designer as I do on my blog. It is the ultimate form of flattery to me to have someone want to do this, and I don't mind one bit as long as credit is given where it is due. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
