You're Beary, Berry Special Masculine Birthday Card

Saturday, May 2, 2026

Di's Digi Stamps You're Beary Special digi on a masculine birthday card, colored with Caran D'Ache Luminance 6901 pencils, by Paperesse.

Today's card is destined for my brother's birthday. The man lives in overalls and I think this little bear wearing them (Di's Digi Stamps You're Beary Special digi) is perfect for him. The sentiment is from Cuddly Buddly – Barbara Ann Williams Punny Animal Sentiments Two. I like using these sentiment sheets with Di's images and there are a bunch posted here on the blog, e.g. this sweet Beary Wonderful birthday card (search the blog by 'Cuddly' and you'll see how I've used them). My inside sentiment wishes him a 'Beary, berry happy birthday'.

Paper is Frou Frou Craft Berries digital paper. I dressed it all up with one of the crinkled paper ribbon strips from my diminishing supply. I bought 3 or 4 packs of these when I originally found them several years ago and love using them; I'm sad to see their number dwindling. Enamel dots give a wee bit of masculine bling.

I'm sure this card will be much appreciated. I love the cute bear (going on my wish list) and, yes, once again the perfect papers. I have to admit I've always been an overall girl and purchased a new pair a couple months ago. I LOVE them!
