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.


Nature-Walks-Nature's-Symphony-Bundle-Masculine-Birthday-Stampin-Up

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.
