Masculine Card

A friend came over and wanted some help making some masculine cards for birthdays. This is what I came up with. So simple!

Beachy Cards

I am posting this today, but I made these cards two weeks ago. I didn't want to spoil the surprise. Some of my siblings are coming to visit me (arrived yesterday), and I made them some welcome baskets to welcome them to the beach. Of course, each needs a card with their name on it! I really love this look, and I think I will be using this 'template' for many cards in years to come!

Paper: Taken with Teal, Summer Sun, Pink Passion, Pumpkin Pie
