Birthday Banners

A simple masculine card in Autumn colours using Poppy Stamps Happy Birthday Banner Flags along with the string and bows from Simon Says Party Banner, a perfect combo.  For me simple is best for male cards especially if you have suitable dies and embossing folders etc.  I have plenty so no real challenge for me to create those manly cards  : )

Paper - a Cre8tiv mini stack

Dies - Poppy Stamps Happy Birthday Banner Flags, Simon Says Party Banner
