Autumn Leaves, Throughout the Year, Masculine Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have another quick card to share with you.  It was so quick that I made two at the same once and was done in no time at all. Please read on to see how I made today's card.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

The Designer Series Paper (DPS) is from the "Inked Botanicals" 12" x 12" package. I had cut a 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" piece because my plan was to cover the whole front but I changed gears mid card. I ended up cutting the piece at an angle. I measured 1-1/2" up from the bottom on the left and 3" up on the right and I cut it. I took the left over piece and matched it up and trimmed it a bit to the same size as the first one. I taped it in place on the lower part of the card.

Next I cut a 1/4" strip of gold foil paper about 4-3/4" long and glued it across the front of the card covering the edge of the DSP. 

The words were stamped next. They are from the "Throughout the Year" set and were stamped using Lost Lagoon ink.

I used the "Autumn Leaves" bundle to die cut the leaves. I used the "Oxidized Copper" DSP and gold foil paper for them. I glued them all in place except for the top maple leaf, I used Dimensionals to set in place.  And that was it. Super easy and super quick.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's masculine birthday card,
