Plaid, Masculine Birthday Card

 I'm always on the lookout for fast & easy, but tasteful masculine cards!  I was also looking for ways to use the balloons in the Arched Wishes stamp set that didn't require cutting the entire balloon out! I found this one that checked all the boxes!  It uses one of the plaids from the Timeless Plaid DSP (still available in the Online Store), paired with the Arched Wishes stamp set! It's just perfect!

Measurements:   

• Cajun Craze: 1/2 sheet
• Basic Black: 3" x 5 1/4"
• Basic White: 2 pcs @ 2 7/8" x 5 1/8" (1 inside and 1 outside)
• Timeless Plaid DSP (OE): 1 1/4" x 5 3/8" (inside), scrap (balloons)

To Make this Card:

• Remove 1" from front of folded Cajun Craze card base.
• Adhere DSP strip to the "inside", and then one of the pieces of White butt up right next to it.  The inside is done!
• Take the other White piece and stamp the sentiment near the left side in Memento Black.
• Then, stamp 2 of the balloons, as shown. (I used my Stamparatus, as the placement is a little tight.)
• Mount onto Black piece and then add to front of card.
• Next, stamp 2 "balloons" onto scraps of plaid, and fussy cut with paper snips. Adhere to stamped balloons, as shown.
• Finish with scattered Faux Glass Dots.
