Quick & Easy Masculine Card

It's Masculine Monday at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration. I decided to participate at the last minute so I needed a quick & easy card. I used this week's CAS(E) this Sketch for the layout.

This card seriously took me about 5 minutes to create and most of that time was spent cutting the paper. The Tangerine Tango patterned paper is from the Schoolhouse Designer Series Paper pack. I cut the patterned paper to 3-3/4" x 5-1/4", then into 1-1/4" strips.  By doing it this way, I was able to keep the pattern continuous across the card.

I stamped the "Happy Birthday" from the Happy Birthday, Everyone stamp set in Jet Black Stazon Ink onto a 2" x 4-1/4" piece of Vellum cardstock.  To attach the greeting to the front of the card, I used the handheld stapler.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
