Trio of Birthday Cards

Welcome to Masculine Card Monday here on my blog! Today I'm sharing a trio of birthday cards I can donate to my Mom's old nursing home and once again they were inspired by the June 2021 Sheetload of cards. I had gone through this older 6x6" paper pad and the coordinating ephemera and made up little 'kits' that I could just pull out and assemble. A lot of the 'kits' used the June 2021 Sheetload of Cards which is a great one for using those 6x6" papers.

I just kept making up the 'kits' until the paper and most of the ephemera was gone, then I decided on card bases to add to the 'kits'. I've been picking away at the 'kits' and completing the cards. 

Here is a peek at the inside - they are all done the same. I used my Mini Misti to make quick work of the stamping, which always helpful with a larger stamp.

 

Supplies used:

Hexagon punch - Stampin' Up

Sentiment inside - Birthday, Darkroom Door

Patterned paper - Let's Celebrate, Carta Bella (6x6")

Let's Celebrate Ephemera - Carta Bella

Stickles glitter glue

Set of Birthday Cards

I have had this patterned paper for YEARS, so it was fun to dig it out and make some Birthday Cards. I chose the February 2020 Sheetload of Cards for the sketch and cutting guide and then just rummaged around in my stash for the decorative element dies and stamps.

The swirly die is another oldie by Stampin' Up - I loved it back when it first came out in the catalogue and still love it. These ones were die cut from the same Kraft as the card base, then lightly inked with burgundy ink.

Below is a peek at the inside, with all the cards being the same.
