I'll just make a card you think - no prob when I had my Bug 18 months ago. Then I would just emboss with a folder I fancied and done! BUT, these days I have collected so much Cuttlebug and Wizard bits and pieces that some times I forget just what I actually have in the drawer - AND, worse NEVER USE!!!With this card I tried to use as many different elements as I could without going OTT.
I started with Navy Texture cardstock cut to make
a 6" x 6" card. With the Frills button border I emboss both
the front and back spine which gives a embossed inside panel.
Use a scoreboard to edge the border - this also gives a good edge for your paper and finishes off the border.
Difference sized Oval Nesties made the aperture, frame and tag.
Number and Letters - Olivia Alphabet
Just a Fancy Corner die to add to the book looking card
and finished! This would make a good layout for a front of a scrap album. The papers are Boxer by Basic Grey - they are bold, colourful patterns that make ideal male cards.
Making cards for our men folks always make you think what can I use ??? what can I do??? This turned out well and I was pleased that I had used some of those bit and pieces in the drawer! Happy 40th Phil.
Hope you all have a great creative crafting week.

Great card! I'm always stuck for ideas for men, so I'll certainly try something like this. And well done for using all the bits and pieces. I know just what you mean about them!
