Manly Monday- Approaching Perfection Birthday Cards

 

Four Manly Monday with a very, basic layout and the new Sale-a-bration stamp set coming out on January 5th! I love this layout and call it the "DSP Half Flip"! I cut a piece of DSP to 4 x 5 1/4 and cut it at the half way point (2 5/8) and flip one of the sides of the DSP. I used band of gold foil to "hide" where the DSP meets and add the coolest saying on the Hippo & Friends Dies label! Easy right?? But looks super cool and because I used the Cinnamon Cider with the World of Good DSP it gives that "Manly" vibe! Change up your DSP and colors and it could also be a Girlie card. Love this layout! #FourManlyMonday

All Four Cards

This paper flips almost perfectly to make it look globe like. 

You can flip the top or flip the bottom! Or even add a rhinestone! That rhinestone was covering up a smudge mark or a "halo" line. Nothing like a little embellishing can't fix. 

Of course I had to stamp the inside as well (no naked insides)! 

You can make these cards too right now if you are a Stampin' UP! Demonstrator or on January 5th when Sale-a-bration begins. Just shop the supplies and follow the steps.
