Autumn Birthday - Masculine (TSOT #656)




Update 10/06/2024
: This card was chosen as a Splitcoast Stampers Favorite of the Week.




It's the first Tuesday in October, so it's time to "Try a Sketch on Tuesday". This is Challenge #656 and runs from Tuesday, October 1, 2024, through Sunday, October 13, 2024. This is a great sketch providing inspiration for other styles and occasions. In fact, I turned it into a masculine fun fold card by placing the opening along the vertical line instead of at the usual right edge and using autumn colors and plaid papers.

Here is the sketch:

The card elements were cut and assembled, and the die-cut leaves were added along with the sentiment. The gold metallic bling represents the two small circles on the sketch. The inside was lined with white cardstock and decorated with patterned paper and additional leaves. Additional photos are included below.

  1. Melanie, how cool... love that you made your card into a fun fold and breaking up the two sides, pretty and creative with your interpretation of the sketch and love that you also finished the inside of the card. Beautiful card.
