Masculine Birthday Card

I don't know about you, but I find making a masculine card to be a challenge.  Here is a birthday card I made for a male co-worker whose birthday is tomorrow.

• Cricut Cartridge:  Create a Critter
• Designer Paper:  My Mind's Eye "Sunshine" 6"x6" pack.
• Sentiment:  Scrappy Mom's "Hooray for Birthdays"
• Embossing:  Cuttlebug "Charles" folder.

A2 sized card = 5.5" x 4.25"
Cricut Create a Critter

• Mat 1 (black) = 5 3/8" x 4 1/8".
• Mat 2 (checkered) = 5 1/4" x 4".
• Mat 3 (polka dot border) = 1" x 4 1/8".
• Mat 4 (black under cupcake) = 3 1/4" x 3 1/4".
