Manly Birthday Cards
These are all part of a special order I have been working on, so they are not for sale.
5.5" square card has a book pocket adhered to the front. Strips of coordinating paper have words hand lettered on them, to reenforce the sentiment: A Pocket FULL of Wishes for a Happy Birthday. Buttons and simple ribbon join the dimensionally adhered sentiment box to give the 3D look. The card comes with a navy blue mailing envelope.
This card and the next were both made from scraps I dug out of my stash. Six different companies' products are represented on the top card!
The main feature I like about this and the next card is the metal "clip" embellishment. They add dimension without making the cards frilly.

Manly Cards
I think it's pretty hard to find a neat card for a guy. Well, that is if you don't want something raunchy. I'm not sure that these are all that spectacular, but I wouldn't be embarrassed to send them, either!
Not really a birthday card, although I can add sentiment inside on an insert, but this is a fun one for the musician in your life. The acid green card is also green on the back, but blank white inside. I have layered white card stock and hand made paper, then added corners and the sentiment, also on card stock. The guitar is a really old die cut I found in my stash. Cost: $2.50, shipping extra. SOLD
Oh, I like this card! The fun stars are similar to what a kid would doodle, but they are filled with cute designs and patriotic colors. The sentiment is printed on white card, then layered on red, then star-embossed blue. The same red has been torn into a narrow strip and adhered with dimensional adhesive on the side, and embellished with three sewn on buttons. A little bow tied on the strip of matching floss adds to the lines and whimsical flavor. It is just tied in a bow, so if you think the guy receiving it might be a little uncomfortable with it, removal is easy. Inside is blank and white for you to pen your own sentiment, although as with all my creations, I am happy to print something on an insert and mount it inside if you like at no extra charge. I have paired this with a white envelope. Cost: $3.00, shipping extra. SOLD (note: this card may require additional postage due to the 3D embellishments.)
This was my first experiment with this cool mylar galvinized looking paper. It is layered on corrogated black, and embellished with pieced diecuts and adhered with screw-head brads. Inside it reads Happy Birthday. Cost: $3.00, shipping extra. SOLD (may require extra postage for mailing.)
This is another card similar to the last one, only it just has a tool box on the front, and a small round greeting that says, "Happy Birthday Dad!" Screw head brads add even more of a manly look to this fun card. Blank inside, white envelope. Cost: $3.00, shipping extra. SOLD

Old Guys Rule, that's for sure! This card features an old guy in a hammock, snoozing under the tropical sun. The blank interior leaves the purpose up to you. It would be a great birthday greeting, retirement card, or just an all purpose note card to some old guy you know. Cost: $2.50, shipping extra.
