Themed Papers for a Masculine Birthday Card

Hello friends! I often like to challenge myself to use products in a little different way. Today’s masculine birthday card features papers from Photo Play’s “For the Love of Winter” Collection! The blue colors seem perfect for a guy’s card, so I chose papers that didn’t necessarily depict winter to make this card. I’m so happy with how it turned out!

Masculine Birthday Card Base

To make this card, form a 4 x 6.5 inches card base from white cardstock. Cut a piece of wood-patterned paper to 4 x 6.5 inches. Secure it to the card front using E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

Embellish the Band Accent

Cut a 1 x 7-inch strip of dark blue paper and roll the adhesive along both long edges with E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. See the image on placement.

Sprinkle Distress Glaze Uncharted Mariner over the adhesive, tap off the excess and melt with a heating tool. Trim long edges as needed so the glaze pattern is on the very edge.

Cut a strip of stripe paper to about 0.5 x 7 inches and adhere to the glazed band using E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

Secure a piece of 0.75 x 7 inches strip of aqua music paper behind the layered and glazed band along the top edge with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

Cut “birthday”

Trim a piece of dark blue paper and black cardstock large enough to cover a “birthday” die. Next, apply a sheet of Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch to the back of the dark blue paper. Simply pull back the yellow liner, place the dark blue paper facing up on top of the adhesive, cover the liner back on top of the paper and rub the adhesive to transfer it to the paper. Remove the paper and adhere it to the black cardstock.

Place the “birthday” die on the dark blue paper side and run it through the die-cutting machine 2-3 times. Gently remove the die-cut word and set it aside.

Stamp Part of the Sentiment

Assemble Masculine Birthday Card

Use E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to the back of the band and adhere across the card front. Trim ends even with card edge.

Grab the dot and plaid banners from the collection’s ephemera pack. Use one of the banners as a template to cut a third banner from music paper. Arrange the banners and secure them to the card using E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Tuck the top of the banners under the band or trim to fit.

Squeeze a small amount of glue from Dual Tip Glue Pen onto a scrap of cardstock. Use a small brush to apply glue to the back of the “birthday” die cut. It’s not necessary to completely cover all of it with glue. Place on the card and press firmly in place.
