Welcome to this month’s Stamptastic Friends Blog Hop.
This Month’s Theme is: Simple Stamping.
As this month’s theme is Simple Stamping I thought I would make a simple stamping masculine greetings card. Like many people I do find it hard to find just the right stamp set for masculine cards so when I was given the Caring Leaves stamp set for winning a card challenge I thought I would use it to make my simple stamping masculine greetings card.
Now I had to think really hard on how I was going to use this stamp set to do simple stamping so I decided to make a border using the leaves with the sentiment in the middle.
How I made my Simple Stamping Masculine Greetings Card
First I cut a landscape card base using Basic White Thick card stock. Next I cut a mat layer using Basic White card stock.
Using Black Memento ink I stamped the oval leaf outline in each corner and then I stamped the other leaf outline in between them.
I then stamped the oval infill using Granny Apple Green ink and the other leaf infill using Garden Green ink. I then stamped the ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment from the Round We Go stamp set using Black Memento ink.
Finally I then stuck the mat layer onto the card base and there was my finished card.
You would not believe that I actually spent more time on thinking about what to use and how I was going to make the card than it actually took to make the simple stamping masculine greetings card.
I hope you have enjoyed seeing how I made my simple stamping masculine greeting card and why not have a go yourself. I must admit I rarely do simple stamping cards but this one has turned out alright.
