As I looked around my craft space for inspiration for my project today, I found a tiny deer and evergreens dies and a wood circle. Rather than make a holiday card, I decided to make a masculine birthday card. This design could easily be a holiday card by simply changing the verse! <\/p>\n

Masculine Birthday Card Tutorial<\/h2>\n

To start, I die-cut a deer and two evergreens from heavy kraft cardstock. <\/p>\n

Next, I colored the trees and added slight shading to the deer. Then I cut a scrap of paper for the ground. To cut the curved edge, hold it against the wood circle as a guide.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The ground piece is fastened in place with E-Z Runner\u00ae Ultra Refillable Dispenser<\/a>. I like to use this adhesive for its super-strong hold to the wood. Attach the larger tree with E-Z Runner\u00ae Ultra Refillable Dispenser<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The smaller tree and deer are adhered with Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix<\/a>, which I cut to fit behind the die cuts.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

I use a foam applicator to add ink along the edges of the wood circle.<\/p>\n

\n

Making the Card Layers<\/h2>\n

To start the card base part, cut plaid paper to fit a 4.25 x 6-inch card and adhere it to the card with E-Z Dots\u00ae Permanent Refillable Dispenser<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

I cut burlap paper and dark green mat. Attach burlap paper to the dark green mat using E-Z Runner\u00ae Ultra Refillable Dispenser<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Using a combination of E-Z Runner\u00ae Ultra Refillable Dispenser<\/a> and E-Z Dots\u00ae Permanent Refillable<\/a><\/font><\/u>, fasten the burlap strip to the card front. Note that I applied the Ultra adhesive on the ends to keep them from fraying.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

For the sentiment, stamp and clear heat emboss “happy birthday,” then cut it into two separate words. Behind each word, add dark green mats and adhere them with E-Z Dots\u00ae Permanent Refillable Dispenser<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Masculine<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

To add dimension, pop up each word with Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix<\/a> on the back side of the mat. Add them after wood circle is in place. <\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Attach the embellished wood circle to the burlap with E-Z Runner\u00ae Ultra Refillable Dispenser<\/a>. Then add the matted sentiment on the burlap above the wood circle.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Place a twine bow with Adhesive Dots Micro<\/a> as the final touch. Now my masculine birthday card is all ready to send to someone special! <\/p>\n
