Good Morning! I used the Stampin’ Up! Delicate Forest stamp set with the Meandering Meadows and Country Woods designer series papers to make a masculine birthday card. The wood grain patterns look great with the watercolor woodland scenes! You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Country Woods designer series paper to a Pecan Pie mat and adhered them to the front of a Crumb Cake card base with liquid glue.

I stamped the tree from the Stampin’ Up! Delicate Forest stamp set in Garden Green and Early Espresso inks on a panel of Woodland Meadow 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. I cut it out with the Deckled Rectangle die using a two step method, so that it lets the stamped tree be the focal point. I adhered the die cut panel to a Pretty Peacock mat and wrapped it with Crumb Cake baker’s Twine and made a knot. I popped the panel on the card front with dimensionals.

I used the new Everyday Greetings and Greetings of the Season stamp sets to stamp the ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment using Pretty Peacock ink on Crumb Cake card stock. I used the Deckled Rectangles dies to cut out the sentiment using a two step method and adhered it to a Pretty Peacock mat. I adhered the label to the card with dimensionals and glue dots. I finished the card with three textured metallic dots.

For the inside of the card I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Delicate Forest stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink on a Basic White panel. I inked up the tree stamp using Garden Green and Early Espresso inks and stamped it on the side. I used the small greenery stamp to stamp the brush on the bottom using Garden Green ink, both full strength and stamped off. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Stamping on designer series paper is a fun technique and a great way to make it unique. The Stampin’ Up! Delicate Forest stamp set is pretty versatile and great for both Summer and Fall. And the coordinating dies are great as well!
