A Masculine Birthday Card - Elizabeth Craft Designs

 Hi and Welcome!!!

Creating masculine birthday cards can sometimes be overwhelming but Elizabeth Craft Designs has so many versatile products to create with, masculine cards are a breeze. A big thank you to two of the amazing designers whose products i used for this card, Angelica Turner and Devid Roodenburg. I created this Double Flap Joy Fold card for one of my grandsons who turned 19 last week. He actually started saving the cards I make for him when he was 8 and now has a very large drawer full of them. Isn't that special? Love him!

Cut blue cardstock 7 x 11", score at 4" and 9" on the long side. Cut blue cardstock 7 x 3 1/2", score at 3 1/2" on the long side. Cut silver cardstock 3 3/4 x 6 3/4", 1 3/4 x 6 3/4", 4 3/4 x 6 3/4", and 3 1/4 x 3 1/4". Cut Devid's beautiful Bacgrounds Volume 2 designer paper 3 1/2 x 6 1/2", 1 1/2 x 6 1/2", 4 1/2 x 6 1/2", 3 x 3". Cut white cardstock 4 1/4 x 6 1/2". Ink the edges of the designer paper, then adhere the layers together and adhere to the card base. 
Top Tip: Before adhering the layers to the card base, determine where you want your placement then adhere small magnets to the top of the smaller card base and to the inside of the larger base so the card stays closed.
Diecut Floral Greenery from Silver and blue cardstock and shape with your fingers. Diecut circles using Small Doilies from silver and designer cardstock. Ink the designer cardstock circle and adhere the two together. Adhere the greenery a shown using hot glue, then adhere the circle as shown using dimensional squares. 
Adhere sentiment to the inside of the small card.
Diecut the Autumn Fancy Borders from silver and blue cardstock and adhere to the inside edges of the card. Stamp a leaf image on the white cardstock and adhere to the inside. Note: I wound up adding a little pocket on the left side to hold a gift card.

Diecut the medallion from the Art Journal Romance die set once from silver cardstock and four times from gray cardstock. Adhere the medallions together to create a thick piece and then adhere to the front of the card.
