First, I had a double post a few days ago. If you missed the Christmas Door post, just scroll down a few posts and you can still catch it. Now, on to the post for today.
My husband and I feel very blessed to have a wonderful son-in-law. Not only is he a great husband and father, but he is a great son-in-law too! Jason is always looking for projects that he can do to help us. The only down side is that he lives about 7 hours from us so we don't see him as often as we otherwise would. My card today is for his birthday.
Of course, I needed a card that was masculine, but I still wanted some color. My card base is Smoky Slate cardstock. Embossing it with the Woodgrain Folder ramps up the nmasculine quality. To liven it up, I added a piece of Bermuda Bay that was cut with the Apothecary Accents Framelits and then embossed with the Chevron Folder. But even guys like a touch of color….
The sentiment was stamped with Bermuda Bay Ink & it was also cut with the Apothecary Framelits Die. The sentiment was stamped a second time so that I could trim the word "birthday" and pop it up with Stampin' Dimensionals. The Scallop Border Punch was used on Tangerine Tango and placed just below the birthday banner. A few Tangerine Tango Candy Dots highlight "happy".
For an extra "wow" factor, I made a matching envelope using a piece of Smoky Slate dsp from the Neutrals dsp Pack. Oops – I just noticed that it has white in it and I used Very Vanilla on the card.

Wow, I like this card!! I am going to get the envelope liner framelit!! Jason will love this card!!
A very nice card for special occasions. I’m sure Jason will appreciate your efforts as much as you appreciate his efforts.
I like this card & it has just enough color for a man. I had to go back & look at the birthday stamped twice, not sure how I missed it, once again just enough pop to catch your eye. Jason is indeed a super role model for a father, husband, & son in law….he can come to my house when he runs out of projects!
