Today I’m sharing a masculine Happy Birthday card I made for my brother-in-law. I used Stampin’ Up! Oxidized Copper Specialty Designer Series Paper, the Country Birdhouse stamp set and the Wanted to Say Dies.
I started with a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I cut another piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock and started adhering 1″ strips of Oxidized Copper Specialty Designer Series Paper to the front. After I glued a piece down, I’d trim it off. As you can see I glued two pieces down the center, at an angle, and then went perpendicular to those pieces. Once I completed this part, I glued the piece to the card front.
Next, I used the Wanted to Say Dies to cut the Happy Birthday background out of Basic White cardstock and the words Happy Birthday out of Pretty Peacock cardstock. I glued the two pieces together, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
On the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink using the Country Birdhouse stamp set and glued a piece of the Oxidized Copper Specialty Paper to the inside. You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.

Mystery Boxes with a New Host Code
What’s a Mystery Box?
A Mystery Box is filled with retired products that I’d like to give to a new home. I’ve been a demonstrator for almost 15 years so you can just imagine how much I have! I have Medium Rate Flat Rate USPS shipping boxes stuffed with retired Stampin’ Up! product.The boxes contain stamps, dies, ribbon, embellishments and more! The boxes are already sealed and every box will be different and a mystery as to what’s inside! The value of each box is well over $200.
All of the products in the Mystery Boxes have retired but some have never been used, some are used and all are “as is”. Some of the stamp sets are wood mount.
You can place an order HERE.
