Today's project is a manly card made with one of my favorites from the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog (that's the big one!), Rustic Retreat Cling Stamp Set [150285].  This beautiful deer is easy to color and we are switching it up a bit by stamping and coloring on Crumb Cake cardstock.

If you are usually scrambling to make a birthday card for a guy, you'll want to keep this idea and make a stack of these while you are at it! 

Here's today's video tutorial for this masculine card idea.

Lisa's Inklings:

• Crumb Cake 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [120953] base is cut at 4-1/4" x 11".
• You will need two other pieces of Crumb Cake.  One at 3-1/4" x 4-1/4" and the other at 2-1/4" x 3-1/4" for stamping.
• Pretty Peacock 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [150880] is cut at 4" x 5-1/4".
• Woven Threads Designer Series Paper [149497] in Pretty Peacock is cut 3" x 4".

We took a fun "ride" yesterday afternoon on Facebook Live with the Stampin' Up! Ride With Me Bundle [151106].

This great bundle and it's versatile, too!  It's not only great for birthdays but also fall-themed and Christmas cards!  Here's a Christmas card sample from my Christmas in July series.

The birthday card above was simply stamped and colored with Stampin' Blends. You'll have to watch the video to see my reason for choosing this particular color.

The gift bag above shows an alternative use of the truck die and was inspired by a project in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.

In the Facebook Live recording below, I mention a special guest that teams up with me in a recorded video of the making the 3D truck.  You will have to tune back in tomorrow to see that! 

Here's the recording for these two projects.  Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!
