Here is a lovely birthday card for a boy/man in your life made using the Gears & Textures stamp set and co-ordinating dies.
Colours used to make this card are:
To recreate the birthday gears card, you will need:
Basic Beige card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”

Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 3¼” by 3¼”

The ‘arrow’ image was stamped on the right and left of the Basic Beige card front with Garden Green ink.

I die cut a decorated circle from the square of Basic White card using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. The die cut circle was the placed on the 5” by 3¼” piece of Basic White card and lightly drew around it with a pencil to help with image placement.

The largest gear piece was stamped, overlapping the pencil circle using Basic Beige ink a few times around the circle making sure I overlapped the pencil line.
The smaller gear piece was then stamped around the circle with Blackberry Bliss ink. The oil splotch was added with Garden Green ink and finally, I added the top of the screw with Early Espresso ink. The pencil line was then erased.

The sentiment, from the Reason To Celebrate stamp set was stamped onto the die cut circle. I used Blackberry Bliss ink for one word and Garden Green ink for the others. The circle was then added to the stamped layer on Dimensionals, overlapping the edge and the excess trimmed off.

From scrap Basic Beige, Garden Green and Blackberry Bliss card I die cut a small gear image and added them to raised circle.
A trio of retired Garden Green dots from my stash were added to finish the card.
