STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:
-
NEW PRODUCT ALERT! Today's card teases you with Cherry Cobbler Quilted Ribbon (also in Early Espresso) and a snazzy new plaid from Frostwood Lodge Designer Series Paper. - The beauty of plaid is that it is a classic for both holidays and other occasions. It was an easy choice for today's clean and simple masculine birthday card. See more masculine card ideas–be sure to scroll down.
- A smidge of Marina Mist card stock cropped with the Decorative Label Punch peeks out from the sides of the sentiment.
- Cherry Cobbler Embossing Powder offers a luscious, shiny finish to the Perfectly Penned "Happy Birthday" rubber stamp sentiment.
- The woodgrain pattern (Stampin' Up! Frostwood Designer Series Paper)was added to the envelope to pull together a coordinating look.

Thanks for all of the previews of new items! Cute card, too!
Fabulous card, Mary. I love that DSP and will now have to get it too. *smile* Hugs,
So love sneak peeks!! Can’t wait for the holiday mini with what you’re showing us. Just love the plaid paper. The colors are great & could definitely be used for occasions besides the holidays. Really like the ribbon also. Think I’ll be adding lots of items to my ever growing wish list.
I love it, love it, love it! Mary, you’ve done it again! I never would have thought to use holiday DSP for a birthday card! I envy your creativity and design skills. I, too, had thought perhaps you got a new addition (the kitty); thank you for answering my question in advance. I will add this DSP to my ever-growing list of “must haves.” 🙂
Ditto what Mike had to say. “EXCITEMENT!” I met Mike at the Convention. I “met” him through your site when he made the pretty Thoughts & Prayers mosaic card. I always enjoy blog hoppin’ with your site. I like the traditional look of Frostwood Lodge DSP, and of course, ribbon utopia!
I love the Cherry Cobbler Quilted Ribbon and the Frostwood Lodge D.P.! Love the Perfectly Penned sentiments too!! All put together makes the perfect masculine card!!!
Love your project Mary. I will have to get that sentiment set. It’s so cool!
Mike
Love, Love, Love your cards & ideas!
That kitten is just too, too cute! I like the card too.
This DP is on my list and after seeing your gorgeous card I know I made a fabulous choice. Can’t wait for more of your sneak peaks. I am waiting for my catty before I put my pre-order in, so thanks Mary for your sneak peaks.
Love that paper and the ribbon is wonderful: great card, as always.
Thanks for the sneak peaks. I just love that ribbon and the woodgrain paper. I can’t wait to see the new mini.
Perfect in plaid! Love the ribbon and that sentiment – on my list – or should I say in the UPS truck by now! I also love the extra touch on the envelope!
Pretty! Love the papers and sentiment stamps!
Perfect, Mary! So simple, yet classy!
Not my kitty 🙂 We are a one “kitty” (and a pug) family. The kitty in the photo above is simply an inspiration for the “Dress For Success” theme!
I love the Frostwood Lodge DSP and the quilted ribbon! I got my Holiday mini yesterday along with my buy 3 get 1 free DSP! Love the little kitty too!
