A team mate of mine asked us to send cards to her father in June for his 70th birthday. I’ve never met him and have no idea what he likes, so I thought it best to make a generic manly card. I knew I wanted to use the Large Numbers Framelits to highlight “70” but didn’t know what colors to use. So I turned to my always handy Designer Series Paper (DSP) Swatch Books. It took no time to flip through them and find a paper I liked – I chose one from the Coffee Break DSP. I thought the greens and browns were manly, and the pattern small enough not to be too rugged.

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Soft Suede card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
- Garden Green CS cut to 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″
- Coffee Break Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″
- Whisper White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ for the inside
Die cut using the Happy Birthday Thinlits:
- sentiment from a piece of Pear Pizzazz CS
Die cut using the Large Numbers Framelits:
- 70 from a scrap of Garden Green CS
Assembled the card:
- Garden Green CS layer glued onto front of the card base
- DSP glued to the Garden Green CS layer
- sentiment and “70” glued to the DSP layer
- enamel shapes in Pear Pizzazz and Garden Green applied to card front
- Whisper White CS glued to inside of the card base
