Always have trouble with male birthday cards since most of my stamps seem suited for the gals! BUT I am finding that the Big Birthday Candle set is so versatile and I just love it.
Layered some patterned papers into a random pattern. Stamped the candle and flame on the BACK of the shiny gold paper so that when cut out you can't see the stamp lines and then layered and trimmed with chocolate chip and popped up on dimensionals.
Added the Happy Birthday stamp from So Many Scallops - cutting off the girly scallop portion LOL.
Added some shiny gold brads and gold cord to complete.
Thanks for taking a peek!

This is a great birthday card, more so because it can be given to a male. I love the layout and the shiny candle. I'll have to remember that when I finally get this set (it's going on my holiday wishlist).
