Hello friends,
Welcome to my blog – Stamping Flair. Thank you for taking the time to visit me. Today I’m participating in the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop. This month we are featuring projects with a masculine theme. If you’re stuck for masculine makes, we’ve got you covered.Â
My masculine card features the Let it Ride stamp set which is suited for anyone but for this challenge it’s being a male stamp set!
I started off by attaching a piece of Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper to an Old Olive card base. The benefit of double sided paper is one side could have beautiful flowers (just like this one has) and then the other is suitable for a masculine card. Next I added a matted layer of the Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Series Paper which adds a richness to this card to mark a celebratory occasion. The vertical lines in this DSP create a formal look which I think worked well for this masculine card.
The horse has been stamped in Soft Suede and die cut with the Stitched Shapes dies. I then formed a loop with the ribbon which has been attached with Tear & Tape. A bow from the linen trim adds a touch of rustic to coordinate with the horse. The stamped circle was then mounted with Dimensionals and layered on Old Olive and Early Espresso circles. I completed the card with a sentiment stamped in Early Espresso.
Measurements:
- Old Olive – 21 cm x 14.8 cm (scored in half), die cut circle and scrap for sentiment
- Whisper White – 6.8 cm x 10 cm and die cut circle
- Early Espresso die cut circle
- Perennial Essence DSP – 9.9 cm x 14.2 cmÂ
- Noble Peacock Specialty DSP – 6.4 cm x 9.6 cm
I hope this inspires you with those sometimes-hard-to-make men’s cards. Please hop through the blogs and get more inspiration. Next up is Ange Mc Kay. Click on the Next Blog button to see what she’s created for the guys.Â
