Masculine cards tend to be a little more simple in design – for some reason most guys don’t seem to appreciate lots of fancy bits and bling, lol.

With that in mind today’s card puts the focus on the pinstripe paper and ties the ribbon in a knot, rather than a bow.

The card base is an A6 landscape of Smoky Slate. A layer of Whisper White was run through the Big Shot with the Stylish Stripes embossing folder and matted with Merry Moments DSP cut along the diagonal. Using Real Red ink, a portion of a sentiment from Flurry of Wishes was stamped onto Whisper White card and die cut out with a PL Cards & Labels framelit. After punching the sentiment at each end with the 1/8″ Circle, it was threaded with Real Red 1/8″ Striped Ribbon and tied over the diagonal seam, popping the sentiment up on dimensionals. This card layer was adhered direct to the card front. It was finished with the “merry” die cut from Real Red card with aChristmas Greetings thinlit.

On the Whisper White insert another sentiment from the same set was stamped in Real Red ink.

This card could easily be made into a birthday card with a simple switch of sentiment 🙂
