Mens Birthday Squeeze Card

Good morning, today I have a squeeze card to share. I have made one of these roulette scene cards in the past and think that they are a great design. I made this card for my brother's birthday, earlier in the year.



I downloaded this fabulous artwork from Debbi Moores Website, which is a great alternative to the traditional genre available when you are looking at making men's cards. This project is downloadable in PDF format for £1.50 and available until the files runout. I have added a link below.

Cards For Men Scene Card

I like the fact that it has tabs that enable the card to be squeezed pretty flat to go into an envelope (all depend on how much you want to build it up).

There are plenty of elements to add to the card from this download and on the gambling chips, I have used some of Debbi Moore's crystal print magic. I love this stuff. As much as I love glitter, I am not a huge fan of it as I and my family always end up wearing it for days after ...weeks even!!

Print Magic is like an opaque embossing powder than turns your card into glitter card without losing any detail from your image or shedding any glitter and its amazing how far a small jar goes.


To bring out the chrome in the roulette wheel, I highlighted it with some glossy accent, also using this on the eyes of the dice.



I decided that a silver metallic pearl would work perfectly for the ball in my roulette wheel and placed it on the birth date.




I have also used the glossy accent on the faux pearl around the Happy Birthday sentiment which made the sentiment stand out a little more.



I used a cream base card to back my roulette scene card onto. I really like the dimension on these scene cards and Debbi Moore has so much to choose from on her website. 

Every month she offers a free download on her website which enables you to make a beautiful card from what you have downloaded. You can't get better than that to inspire you to keep crafting.

Stay safe


Happy Crafting!
