Masculine

Polka Dot Birthday

| Lisa K

I needed a masculine birthday card. I went to my stash of items already cut and created a card.

This will be entered in the Double D Challenge Polka Dots: https://daranddiane.blogspot.com/2024/05/polka-dots.html

I will also enter this in the Can You Handle the Pressure: https://cyhtp.blogspot.com/2024/05/may-11th-2024-anything-goes-with-twist.html

All of the items used are Stampin Up, most retired, but some colors are still available. The banner die I used is Lawn Fawn.

I struggle with masculine cards a lot, but this finally clicked and was easy to create.

Masculine Speed Stamping

I found cardstock in the challenge colors, made a plan, and began creating.

I set the timer on my phone, beginning at zero. When finished, it said 08:18:19. Like the challenge says, it is not a masterpiece. I do have 2 masculine birthdays this month as I am sure this will be fine for one of them.

I used all Stampin Up product for this card. The cardstock is from the Neutrals pack. I know the cardbase is Early Expresso along with the ink. The top layer is Crumb Cake. I added a layer behind the stamped layer which I think is Sahara Sand. Stamp sets used are Sky is the Limit for the greeting and clouds, Moon Lake for the canoe and tree stamp, and High Tide for the birds.

Thanks for looking!

Thinking of You

This started out as a one-layer card, but I really didn’t like it, so I trimmed it down and layered it. The stamp set used is Framescape Winter Trees. I used Memento Dew Drop ink pads to stamp the color on this card. There were several used. I did spritz the paper with a gold shimmer spray. I am not sure you can really see it in the photo, but it is there. This will also be placed in the Split Coast Stampers Dirty Dozen Card challenge.
