This year I decided to recycle some of the Christmas cards we received. One had three presents on the front: one had a snowflake on it, but the other two were rather generic. So, I decided to use this one for a quick and easy masculine birthday card. The triangular patterned paper piece was left over from a card I had just finished (I only had to trim off the very point as it was about 1/2 in too long). I knew just the stamp set to use to create a large, bold sentiment. I stamped it in red to add a little bit more color to the card and then I finished everything off with some blue enamel dots. So fun and easy!
