Good morning! We have a fun sketch challenge for our hop today – lots of ideas will be shared from everyone participating. I can’t wait to see what’s been created. I needed a masculine birthday card and this layout worked perfectly.



This Full of Life DSP is perfect for so many kinds of cards – bright & cheerful. And this card I’ve made as a masculine one.
- Card base is Blueberry Bushel 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
- Layer Full of Life 6×6 DSP 4 1/8 x 5 3/8
- Cut panel of Blueberry Bushel 2 1/2 x 2 1/2, set aside
- Add a length of white ribbon with Stampin’ Seal+
- Cut Basic White 2 3/8 x 2 3/8: stamp sentiment from Happiest Day stamp set – ink with VersaMark, then Balmy Blue and stamp on panel, sprinkle with Clear Embossing Powder and set with heat tool. Although this does not show in the photo, it adds a nice glimmer to the sentiment :O) Stamp the ‘multi-star’ image from Happiest Day stamp set in Blackberry Bliss ink. Add this square to the set aside 2 1/2″ square on an angle as shown, then add to card front with dimensionals over the ribbon.
- As a final touch add Glossy Dots Assortment in Gorgeous Grape.

For the inside… on a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4, I stamped the sentiment in Balmy Blue ink using another stamp in the Happiest Day stamp set. Again, I stamped the ‘multi-star’ image, also in Balmy blue. I added a strip of leftover Full of Life 6×6 DSP 5/8 x 4 and added the panel to the inside of the Blueberry Bushel card.

For the envelope… more of the Full of Life 6×6 DSP on the envelope flap, trimmed to fit. For the front of the envelope, I stamped the multi-star image from Happiest Days stamp set ifirst in Balmy Blue, cleaned the stamp and stamped again in Blackberry Bliss – creating a festive envelope front!
