Back to basics: Masculine birthday card - I love you so "mush" - Altenew

Hola,
One of the biggest challenges I have as cardmaker is making masculine cards. 



So for today's back to basics I made a cute and colorful masculine card.
I went through my stamp catalog and found this Altenew stamp set - 
the sentiment was what did it for me.
"You are such a fungi!"
Too cute!!
This set was a December 2017 release and I had not used it yet - so today was the day!!! 
And I am so glad I did!


What is back to basics?
My first love for card making started with stamps and ink.
So for this series I am getting out my stamps and my inks and using them!

What I used:
Stamp sets: 
Altenew - Love you so "mush"
Stampin Up Label something
Stamp at home - Big grid background stamp  - this stamp is huge and I love it! I bought it at the Stampin & Scrapbook EXPO in MA about two years ago.

Inks & Paper:  
All my inks and color papers are Stampin up
Crumb cake (ink only)
Summer Sun - retired
Lemon Lime Twist
Berry Burst
Pumpkin Pie
Pacific Point

Card base: Neenah Desert Storm
White paper: Hammermill 80#

Die set: MFT Stitched MOD rectangle Stax
Punch: Stampin Up Modern Label Punch

Nuvo drops in a lot of colors!

Since I had all the inks out already, 
I decided to create some extra cards for my Birthday Clubs.
Here they are!!











If you have this stamp set, 
get it out and create something cute!

Hope you enjoyed the cards!
