I needed a masculine birthday card this week and created it using the stamp set Happiest of Birthdays and In Good Taste Designer Series Paper.
I started with a base of Smoky Slate cardstock and then added a layer of Whisper White cardstock and then a layer of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper. I struggle bit with masculine cards but this was the perfect paper to use!
I stamped the sentiment in Smoky Slate ink using the stamp set Happiest of Birthdays and then cut it out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I cut another larger rectangle out of Smoky Slate cardstock and layered the two pieces together. Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to back to give the card some dimension. I finished by adding three Elegant Faceted Gems to the front. If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.

Does the stitched card stock come already stitched?
Hi Sandy, I used our regular Whisper White cardstock and then cut it out with the Rectangle Stitched Dies. When it cuts out the rectangle, it also creates the stitched look around it.
