A Masculine Birthday Card - Designer Jan Francis

Hello Everyone:  I probably should have posted this card earlier in case anyone wanted to copy this same format for a Father's Day card, however, it's not too late for masculine birthdays later in the year or even in the coming year.  Hope you love this card by our very own Jan Francis as much as we do!

Isn't this clever?  Jan used Creative Impressions Cork Paper along with some paper scraps, a Happy Birthday stamp and alphabet pieces to create this beautiful card.

Jan die cut several stars from cork paper as well as a mat created with the same paper onto which she layered all the separate pieces.  She cleverly used two scrap pieces of patterned paper die cut in a rectangular shape, layering the second piece with foam dots.  Then she added the cut stars, adding bits of foam tape to the edges of the larger stars in order to bring them to the same level as the die cut patterned paper piece.  All that was left was to stamp Happy Birthday at the bottom of the cork layer and add some heavy card alphabet pieces spelling the word "Dad" and the card was finished.  Easy and elegant!

If you would like to copy this idea, we have Cork Paper available n either 8 1/2" x 11 3/4" sheets (89000), in 12" x 12" (89001) or in a package of 5 (8 1/2" x 11 3/4") sheets (89005).  Let us see what you create!
