With 6 sons and 5 grandsons, not to mention a husband and other male relatives, I make a lot of masculine cards. Today's masculine birthday card combines a sport and traditional birthday elements. My son, Jonathan, coaches soccer so the Goal stamp set was a natural choice. Happy Birthday, Jonathan!
Robin's Crafting Tips
- The splash of red from the Riding Hood Red Pleated Ribbon and the "cherry on top" take my card from ho hum to wow. Think of the pleated ribbon as a card maker's "power tie".
- The curving red line of the ribbon also says movement and excitement.
- Textured frosting on the punched cupcake (Cupcake Builder Punch) makes you want to dip your finger for a scoop sweet, creamy frosting.
- And the Striped embossing folder compliments the energy of the Twitterpated Designer Paper.

Amazing greeting card!
I should say it's quite difficult to choose a good birthday card for a man so I guess making it oneself sounds like a solution!
Yours is definitely a masterpiece.
