.45 Caliber Card


Happy Birthday to my amazing husband!
He is 45 today and I made him this fun, masculine .45 Caliber Birthday Card.

The phrases were cut into the wood grain paper with my Cricut Explore.  The wood grain/gold papers are from DCWV's Gilded Paper Stack and I love how they really pop against the blue cardstock.  I dug (way) into my stash for rub-ons from Karen Foster Designs and mini gold numbers from Creative Memories.

"Manly-Man" Masculine Cards

Tis the season for "manly" cards.  Mine usually seem to focus on a hunting or outdoorsy theme because, well, that's who we are around here.  My husband will be attending an old USMC buddy's 50th birthday party and he said he needed a card with bullets.  Okay.  He also was specific on the sentiment he wanted in the card.   Here you go, honey - a 50th birthday bullet card!
The "50" card base was cut with my Cricut - it's from the Life's a Party cartridge.  I removed the original candles from the cut (use your hide contour to do this) and used these bullets from Outdoor Man instead.  Tada - "bullet candles."

 Snicker, snicker.  He's a clever one with bullet humor, this husband of mine.
Need some more ideas?  Here's a few cards that I have made for my hubby...
We have the gun theme collection...
Check out Cricut's Outdoor Man and Stand and Salute cartridges for great masculine images.

And some general masculine cards...
The top left card is a "pre-finished" project that I found in Cricut Design Space
and cut with my new Cricut Explore.
