Spice Cake Masculine Birthday Card

Hi Stampers!  As most of us know, masculine cards can be a struggle to create.  But this time of year the trees, leaves, etc seem to make it much easier (for me anyhow!). 


Today I decided to play with my Leaves #2 Die (113459), perfect for masculine cards!  The Big Shot (113439) does all the work for me, love that :) Then I pulled out my VersaMarker (100901) and simply drew the veins on the leaves, easy peasy!


I used Spice Cake Designer Series Paper (124003), and the button is from the Neutrals Designer Buttons pack (119743).


I finished off the inside of the card with another leaf :)  The stamp set I used is Bring on the Cake (w 121899 c 121958).  

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stamping!

Hi Stampers!  I got together over the weekend with my mom Karen, my niece Ashlee and my friend Jan to make these awesome Rosette Wreaths!


We used Stampin Up's DSP Holly Berry Bouquet (124004), the coordinating buttons (125636) and Cherry Cobbler Striped Grosgrain Ribbon (125056).  The rosettes were scored using our Simply Scored Scoring Tool (122334).  Miscellaneous supplies included glass glitter and punches.

We mounted them on foam board that Jan cut for us, worked out perfectly!
