Nature Walks Designer Series Paper Masculine Birthday Card


Hello and welcome to my blog! Need a masculine birthday card? The Nature Walks Designer Series Paper and the Nature's Symphony Bundle work well together to accomplish this. At the end of this post is a link for you to download a free tutorial with all the instructions and measurements and, also, a video showing the construction of this card. Check it out. Links to all the supplies I used are also at the bottom.

Here is the front of the card. The card base is Basic Beige cardstock.

I stamped the dots from Coneflower Celebration in Pecan Pie down the left side of the card front. I then adhered a 5 1/2" x 3/4" piece of designer series paper from the Nature Walk pack. A piece of "wood" was cut with the die from Nature's Symphony out of Pecan Pie and about 1" cut off one end. It was then adhered in the bottom left-hand corner.

Another piece of designer series paper from the Nature Walks pack (5 1/2" x 2 3/4") was cut then stamped on the right side and bottom with the same dots in Early Espresso. I also stamped the large leaf from the Nature's Symphony stamp set in Pretty Peacock. This piece was then adhered to the card front.

A strip of the Irregular Weave Trim was then adhered in a zig-zag designer to the card front. The large leaf die from Nature's Symphony was cut out of Lost Lagoon and adhered over the Irregular Weave Trim.

The sentiment from Nature's Symphony stamp set was stamped in Pecan Pie on Basic Beige and punched with the Triple Banner Punch. It was then adhered over the leaf stem with dimensionals.

I stamped the inside with the leaf from Nature's Symphony in Crumb Cake and the Happy Birthday (a retired stamp I had) in Pretty Peacock.

Hello and welcome to my blog! You're going to love this faux book card! The card looks just like a book from the front, then you open the front fold and realize it's a card. At the end of this post is a link for you to download a free tutorial with all the instructions and measurements and, also, a video showing the construction of this card. Check it out. Links to all the supplies I used are also at the bottom.

Here is the front of the card. This designer series paper makes a beautiful card front.

Here you can see where the card opens up.

I embossed the designer series paper with the Damask Designs Embossing Folder.

In the next two pictures you can see the 2 different dies I used from Delicate Framing dies cut out of Basic Beige cardstock. The corner pieces were one piece that I cut apart.

The sentiment from On Display was stamped in Mossy Meadow (the color of the card base) on Basic Beige and punched or cut with an oval. The fake pages were made with a 1/2" x 4 1/8' piece of Basic Beige embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder. You could also just score it with a scoring tool giving a fake pages look. One end was rounded, then it was adhered to the card base. Next, I punched the right side with a 3/4" round punch.

The inside Basic Beige piece was punched on the corners with the Detailed Trio punch. The sentiment is from Prayers and Promises and the faint flower is from Fragrant Layers and stamped in Smoky Slate.

Petals of Beauty Dies and Brushed with Beauty Designer Series Paper Off-Set Gate Fold Card


Hello and welcome to my blog! At the end of this post is a link for you to download a free tutorial with all the instructions and measurements and, also, a video showing the construction of this card. Check it out. Links to all the supplies I used are also at the bottom.

Here is the front of the card. This Brushed with Beauty designer series paper makes a beautiful card front. The flower bases were also cut from the same designer series paper.

From the picture below you can see what I mean by off-set gate fold as the left side is smaller than the right. On a standard gate fold each side is the same size.

This is a close up of the flowers in the Petals of Beauty dies. Note that they do not line up exactly, so don't drive yourself crazy trying to! The Crumb Cake flap was cut with dies from Branching Out. All leaves and flowers are from the Petals of Beauty dies.
