Welcome to this month’s Stamptastic Friends Blog Hop
The theme this month is Masculine Cards
I find that trying to make a masculine birthday card much harder than other cards. As it was my son-in-laws birthday last week and he is into DIY I decided to make a wood effect card.
I decided to use a technique that I have used with the Tailored Punch but this time using the Stitched Triangle Dies.
How to make my masculine birthday card.
I started off by making a 14.85cm x 10.5cm card base using Basic White Thick card stock. Next I cut a 14.3xm x 10cm mat layer using Basic Black card stock.
I then chose which wood effect DSP I wanted to use from the In Good Taste DSP pack. Next I die cut various triangles out and laid them onto the Basic Black mat layer and moved them around until I was happy with the layout. Then I stuck them all down leaving a border around each one.
I trimmed around the edge of the Basic Black mat layer and used some of the off cuts to fill in the smaller areas. Once I was happy I stuck it onto the Whisper White Thick card base.
For the sentiment I stamped the Many Messages stamp using Black Tuxedo Memento ink and my Stamparatus so I could redo any areas that did not stamp properly. Next I die cut them out. With this stamp set I was able to get loads of sentiments for future cards. I then stuck the sentiment onto the card at the bottom.
I hope that you have enjoyed seeing how I have made my Masculine Birthday Card and that it has given you and idea to try yourself. Remember you can use this technique with other designer series papers and stamped or textured card stock.
