I thought paper strips were a perfect way to create cards for men. So I chose some 1/2" strips of blues and greens and adhered them to a piece of White 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card stock at an angle.
Add them at an angle, graduating colors as you go if you wish. Once you're added strips trim off the excess on the edges.
Next I used the retiring Well Written 'birthday' dies seen here and cut it out of the stripes piece. I wanted the greeting to reflect the same colors in the background. So easy!
I adhered it to the Tasteful Labels die-cut with Multipurpose Glue. I stamped 'Happy' from the coordinating stamp set Well Said seen here and fussy cut it to add to the card.

Next is another card with the exact same colors but totally different. I adhered 1/2" strips to the edge of a White card base. I didn't worry about the outer edge until I was done; trimming it off afterwards. I focused on the left edge being even.
I added a skinny 1/8" strip of Night of Navy to cover up any unevenness on my left edge. A length of Navy twine wrapped around and into a bow finishes it off.
The 'you' is from the Well Written dies and the 'make me smile' is rom the Well Said stamp set (heat embossed in White) on a Navy Tailored Tag punch.
