a masculine birthday card

Published by diane (cookiestamper) at 2:21 pm under Stampin' Up!, cards, etc.

I think I mentioned before how I keep putting off making masculine cards. So when I needed to get one in the mail, I didn’t have one on hand. I’d just received the Birthday Whimsy SAB set so I decided to use that. I wasn’t crazy about this set at first glance but after using it, I think it’s cute. And you can never have too many birthday images! This started with the computer generated words. I made them large enough to fit the cake inside. Next I pulled a Cuttlebugged background that I had laying around. I had tried my new Allegro folder on a piece of Soft Sky cardstock and I think the musical background goes great with the words! The small package is popped up on dimensionals.

Edit to answer some questions: Someone shared quite some time ago how to print the words in a circle using Microsoft Word. I can’t remember who it was though! Here is a more recent thread explaining how.

    That’s a perfect combination! I didn’t order that folder because I didn’t know what I would do with it - now I do, thanks!

    Great card! I am curious how you generated the words to be in a circle!

    How clever to use the music background with the happy birthday in the circle! Love it.
