I hope your week is going well! I had to stop with my Halloween goodies and make a birthday card. As I typed the word masculine, I thought to myself that this card could be used really for anyone. It just doesn't have a lot of bows, etc. I saw this card on Pinterest and thought this was just the ticket. I have to say I spent more time looking around for the DSP than making the card. I thought - really, it is only two little pieces of paper, but I had a hard time finding something where the pattern was correct.
I used SU's Old Olive and cut it 11" x 6" and scored it 2 3/4" x 8 1/4". I also cut a piece 3" x 3 1/4".
I cut the following pieces from the Gold Foil:
1 - 5 1/2 " x 5"
2 - 2 1/4" x 5 3/4"
1 - 3 1/2" x 3 3/4"
and some extra for the Happy Birthday Thinlet die.
I then cut a Very Vanilla piece - 5 1/4" x 4 3/4" and two pieces of DSP - 2" x 5 1/2"
For my inside sentiment, I used SU's Better Together stamp set. I have gotten more use out of this stamp set! I added in a few sparkles and the card was done! I'm going to make a 6" envelope for it as well once I pick out the paper for it!! LOL! Have a great weekend.
Thanks for stopping by,
Nancy

colorful dots make background of first card look "romantic" for me....
great idea as always
Nice card, I think It would work for anyone. I have been wanting to make a card base like that. Thanks for sharing.
This is really cute and it does work for either gender. I love a gate fold like this. I know what you mean about how long it took to find the right piece of DP. Sometimes it makes me crazy! I'm better off if I start with the DP and build the card around it, sheesh.
Happy Halloween...
Did kids come to your house for candies?
