Welcome back! Happy Thursday…a clean and simple masculine birthday card for you today.
Simple stamping at its best – just stamps ink and paper!
The challenges: Little Red Wagon (#842) Keep it Simple; Krafty Chicks (#804) Masculine; Creative Colours (#224), with the primary palette inspiring the Piet Mondrian layout; and sharing with Creative Crafters (#96) Anything Goes.
Here is the result:
Steps:
- Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Basic Black cardstock.
- Mondrian Blocks: Basic White, Pretty Peacock, Crushed Curry and Real Red cardstock scraps.
- Sizes: Basic White – (1” x ¾”), (1¾” x ¾”), (1” x 2⅛”), (2¾” x 3”), and (1¼” x 3”); Pretty Peacock – (1” x ¾”); Crushed Curry – (¾” x ¾”); and Real Red – (1¼” x ¾”).
- The sentiment, Wishing you a very happy birthday, from the retired Big on Birthday stamp set was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the larger Block.
- Using Stampin’ Blends Markers, color was added to the sentiment. Colors chosen: Light Pretty Peacock and Real Red along with Dark Daffodil Delight.
All Blocks were added to the card base. So clean, so simple.
I love the spare color blocking that defines the artist Piet Mondrian. So well suited to masculine cards.

Brilliant interpretation of Mondrian’s geometric design composition paintings into a masculine birthday card!!! Loving this! By the way, have you seen any of my 29 journal pages that I’ve done on ‘My Mondrian Mondays’? I’ve also taken inspiration from some of his other paintings. You’ve done a fantastic card layout with the minimal colors and grid/blocks!
