This set has great saying for any occasions but what makes it "man" friendly is when you use warm colors that tend to appear more manly.

Instructions:

 

·       With the Pebbled Path card base flat (and horizontal), adhere the 1 1/2” x 5 1/4” DSP piece to the furthest left side panel. Now fold card flat from left to right on the second score line. (The 1st DSP panel will be face down at this point.) On the newly exposed left side panel, adhere the 2 3/4” x 5 1/4” of DSP. (The first panel should be folded back toward the left and will become the center panel.) Fold the right panel over the center panel and adhere the 1 1/4” x 5 1/4” DSP strip.

·       Die cut the Gorgeously Made leaf sprig (1 each) from Basic White CS and Lemon Lime Twist CS.

·       Using Mossy Meadow ink, stamp the “Thanks So Much” sentiment onto the 3 7/8” x 1 1/4” Basic White belly band piece.

·       Fold the Pebbled Path strip around the card and adhere to itself at the backside of card to create the belly band base. (Remove the belly band from the card before continuing.)

·       Glue the Lemon Lime Twist leaf sprig to the Pebbled Path belly band. Adhere the Basic White leaf sprig, slightly offset, over the Lemon Lime Twist sprig.

·       Adhere the sentiment panel to the belly band, placing it over the leaf sprigs. “Branch” ends should be exposed slightly below the sentiment block.

·       Slide finished belly band over card.

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!
