A Fall Masculine Birthday Card

One of my nephews lives in New Brunswick and recently celebrated a birthday. I sometimes struggle with these cards but found the exact card base to make this card!

I used the Exploring In Colours, cards and bases! They were an add-on to the Paper Pumpkin kit and there is a great one to use for a fall birthday!

To make the focal point I die cut a circle out of the front of the card. Saved it and then made a frame for the cutout using the same die and the size larger die from the Stylish Shapes dies and Copper Clay cardstock.

I attached the cut out piece inside the card to fill the hole when the card is closed!

The greeting is stamped in Copper Clay ink. I have added some of the coordinating Wild Wheat ribbon to the back of the greeting. Stamp set and embellishments from the May 2023 Paper Pumpkin kit.

I used items in the in the kit plus some additional products that will be in my supply list.

I stamped the image (stamped off) onto Basic White cardstock and fussy cut it out. The leaves are punched with the Bough Punch and the background is the inside of the envelope!
