Mosaic Masculine Birthday Card — sounds intriguing, right!! Often times, masculine cards are tough to design. You go Blop Hopping or to Pinterest or Goggle to find something to get you started. Sometimes that is all you need and away you go. But sometimes you see “THE CARD” and you know that you have to make it just like that. That’s called CASE-ING a card. Well, today I have a CASED card to share. My sister, Tina, did a card last month at one of her classes and when I saw it I knew that I had to case this card.
My dad and brother and my husband and son are into woodworking. They all like to build furniture and turns bowls. My husband carves ducks, fish, nativity scenes and lots of other things. So this card just fit my entire family of men. The card uses the Wood Texture Designer Paper. This is such realistic paper — it is a must have for everyone. The designer paper is matched with the Tailored Tag Punch and here is what you get.
You just punch out the different wood grains and attach them to a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Early Espresso — trim off any edges hanging over, wrap Linen Thread around, tie a knot. Stamp Happy Birthday from Perennial Birthday Stamp Set with Early Espresso ink, add three pearls that are colored with the Bronze Stampin’ Blend. Then attach to the card base with dimensionals.
It’s a bit scary as you start laying down the punched wood pieces but once you get going it’s a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy making it too. Give it a try with all different designer papers.
