Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you another Simple Stamps ink and Paper Card using the Outdoor Barbecue Stamp Set from the 2020 Stampin' Up! January - June Mini Catalog. This is a super cute masculine themed stamp set that you may have even missed in the catalog. It's on page 50 of the Mini Catalog. I actually used two stamp sets to make this card. I used both Outdoor Barbecue and then I used the Sending You Thoughts Saleabration Stamp Set for the sentiment on the outside. Here's a look at my card.
I often here "Rick I need masculine card ideas" or "how do you come up with masculine cards" I think a lot of people think just because I am a guy that I can come up with masculine cards easily. I am just like the rest of you I have to really think about masculine cards, I prefer to make pretty floral cards, those are my go to cards. Because, I love floral designs and paintings. You will hear in the video me talk about this a little bit.

Tips & Tricks:
For my #simplestamping masculine birthday card I started out with my card base. I picked Crumb Cake Cardstock as my base (I know no surprise there, so the next statement want surprise you either if you follow my blog) cut at 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. Once I had the cardbase cut I picked the hamburger image from the stamp set to stamp all around the card base in matching Crumb Cake ink. Once that was done I took at 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 piece of Whisper White Cardstock and stamped the grill in the top center with Smoky Slate ink. I then stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Sending You Thoughts FREE Saleabration stamp set in Crumb Cake ink below.
For the inside of my card I stamped the hamburger in Crumb Cake ink going up the left hand side of a piece of Whisper White Cardstock cut at 5 1/4 x 4. I also stamped the sentiment "Holy Smokes It's Your Birthday" from the Outdoor Barbecue Stamp Set in Smoky Slate ink. This stamp set not only has some smoking hot images but some great witticism sentiments that will make you and the person getting this card laugh. It's also has a great Father's Day Sentiment and a You're Invited sentiment in the set as well; making it a great addition to your collection.
