Today is Adam’s birthday. Since we were just there, I was able to leave his card and gift with Sarah. I used a new-to-me (NBUS!) stamp from My Favorite Things called “Trendy Triangles.” It’s somewhat reminiscent of an older Altenew stamp I have, but there are more triangle options with this set, plus I splurged on the dies. I’ve been waiting for an excuse to get it out.
I chose one of my favorite color combinations: red, white, and black, but added a nice gray as well.
I just love all the different designs for the triangles: stripes of several sizes, polka dots, graphs, open and closed. It makes for a really dynamic design—and great for a masculine card.
The sentiment is from The Greetery’s “Sentiment Suite: Birthday. I added three enamel dots to mimic the dots in the triangle on the top of the card. The focal layer and the thin black layer were cut with my favorite “Master Layout” dies by Gina K. They were layered on a Pure Poppy card base.
I’m entering this in two birthday challenges: Simon Says Wednesday Challenge–their 12th birthday, and Seize the Birthday. There’s always an optional topping. Interestingly, this time it’s squares and I’ve used triangles, so I’ll enter this without the topping! And, of course, the NBUS Challenge. *Edited to add that I missed the cut-off for the Seize the Birthday challenge which ended this morning!
You are so right, Karen! This is a dynamic design with so many fun patterns and it’s just perfect for a manly card! Thank you for sharing with everyone at NBUS! Take care! Hugs, Darnell (p.s. Did you notice you were showcased at the top of the NBUS post?!)
What a fantastic masculine card this makes Karen (although I think anyone would be thrilled to receive it!) I love your colour choices and the triangles look such fun to use. The black dots are a perfect finishing touch too. This set may well have to go on my wish list!! Vicky x
I like the clean lines on this card & of course you can never go wrong with red,black & white as a colour pallet.
This card hits all the right notes for a masculine theme, geometric shapes, sophisticated colors and a clean look! Nicely done and one to remember for the future with all my males in the family.
Love this cool, graphic design!
