The Hero Arts blog is having a big birthday celebration with a five category challenge for birthday cards. I recently purchased the Hero Arts “Five Line” Background stamp and made two masculine birthday cards from one piece of paper embossed in gold. I’m entering both into the “metallic birthday card” challenge.
The first is a simple card made by punching two tags from the Tag Sale #5 one in chocolate brown and one from the stamped piece embossed in gold. I added some American Craft Thickers for the sentiment and a simple gold brad to connect the tags. I’m also linking this to the new Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Tag It!
For the second card, I cut a strip of the stamped piece and adhered it to a Hero Arts kraft card. I embossed a tag from Papertrey’s 2012 Birthday Tags in gold for the sentiment. Here’s a closer look:
My brother-in-law and my niece’s husband both celebrate their birthdays this month, so now I’m all set for both occasions.
Gorgeous cards 🙂 I love the gold embossing and CAS designs ,,, and the gold thickers are FAB 🙂

Oooh! I love these, the colours are fabulous.
You are indeed well-set! I love the stunning simplicity and elegance of that top one especially. I am sure these will be received with delight :).
Your cards are so awesome, Karen, and your embossing is always just so beautiful!
Fabulous cards do love the touch of gold makes the cards so special.
