I had some rare 'me' time today to spend in my design studio to create a 'just because' card -- no deadlines, no teams ... just for FUN, so I decided to hop along with the PTI girlies and join in on the fun over there! The April PTI Blog Hop is all about boys and men ... they want to see your best masculine card using goodies from Papertrey Ink!
I don't 'do' masculine too often ... my comfort style is shabby chic with lots of pink ... but while working on this little cutie, I was reminded how fun, quick and easy a more clean and simple card design can be -- all the while still being decorative and pleasing to the eye! This will make an excellent Father's Day card for the dads in my life ... or even my hubby's birthday this summer -- he is a golf fanatic -- I think he'll get a giggle out of the tee I stole ... borrowed from his golf bag! I love the play on the 'Happy Birthday' song with the sheet music paper -- too cute!!!
Supplies I used from PTI:
White cardstock
Holiday Mix Vintage Buttons
Alpha Blocks stamp set
Alpha Blocks die
Tiny Tags stamp set
Tiny Tags die
Postage Stamp die
Library Ledger text-style paper
Sweet Symphony text-style paper
There's still time to hop along with the gang ... click HERE for all the deets :)

Wonderful card, I love how you incorporated the tee in the card. I'm going to use that idea for my husbands card. Good to know the postage die will also work with the block letters.
Really nice card, great colours and I love that little tag.
Ohlala, such a beautiful card! Great colour combo and wonderful details.
