Masculine Birthday Cards with Flair

Hi all - I haven't been blogging as much lately but I wanted to share the birthday cards I made for my brother. He had his birthday last Thursday but we celebrated early on Easter. Why cards, plural? I made one for me to give Junior and one for my dad to give him. Both were made using the new Hero Arts Friends with Flair Bundle. I'll let you try to guess which one Dad selected. 



Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;
Paper Studio Cardstock; BoBunny patterned paper;
scraps of metallic & kraft
Stamps/Dies/Stencils - Hero Arts Friends with Flair Bundle
Other - various Hero Arts inks & VersaFine Clair Nocturne

Stamped and die cut two of the birthday sentiments. Die cut the shirt parts for both, plus the icons, then assembled. The button-up shirt was stenciled with the coordinating stencil. Added to an A2 card. The first shirt was assembled right onto a blue card. The second shirt is designed to be at the angle so I added a piece of patterned paper behind it to fill the card.

Did you guess? So, my dad and brother both like suspenders; Dad chose card one. I liked both cards so it didn't matter which one I used. Junior loved them both! I will add card one to The Creative Crafters Challenge #99 where Anything Goes and card two to Darnell's April NBUS Challenge #85 since the bundle I used got first play here.

That's it for today! Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!!
