Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

There’s something timeless and peaceful about lakeside views — and when you combine that with handmade touches, you get a birthday card that’s both meaningful and masculine.

This is my card today for Anything Goes Saturday, created with the gorgeous Lakeside Memories Collection by Paper Rose Studio.  It is also the Collection created for my PaperCraft Kit.  Click HERE to purchase your kit.

Don’t forget to check out to see what Robbie has created.

This Paper Collection features soft blues, greens, yellows & browns, polka dots, checkes/plaids and natural outdoor elements like boats, water wildlife, trees and cabins.  It’s perfect for the nature-loving fella in your life!

Card Details –

  • Base – Early Espresso – Stampin’ Up!

  • Background – Lakeside Memories Collection – Patterns & Basics – Paper Rose Studio

  • Layering – Early Espresso & Pattern Paper

  • Embellishments – Metallic Dots

Why I Love It –

This card was inspired by scraps of left over paper from my June PaperCraft Kits.  It also reminds me of the fun times with Dad when we use to the creeks, fishing & swimming or just relaxing by tossing in a line.   The Lakeside Memories Papers really bring those moments to life, making this a thoughtful card for dads, brothers, uncles, or friends.

Tip –

Don’t be afraid to keep it simple – blokes usually appreciate clean, natural designs.  A pop of texture or a rustic element goes a long way!

This card was also our Free Friday PDF Tutorial in our Card Making Made Simple FB Group.  You are free to join if you wish.
