The Card Concept: Make It Masculine

 

Welcome to a new challenge at the Card Concept, this time it's Make It Masculine.

Our inspiration photo is of a pillow with all the masculine vibes you need.

I was inspired by the color swatches, animals, and nature for my Clean

and Layered card.

The critters are from Stamplorations' 'You Are my Tribe stamp and die set. 

They're mounted on The Greetery's Wood Slices.

The panel is from Spellbinders, and the masculine paper is Poppystamps.

Father's Day is around the corner, and it's always nice to have a few masculine

cards in your stash! 

The Card Concept #177 {Make It Masculine}

HB2U

Well you can file this one under the, 'Who Knew' dept.

Ashley demonstrates using baby wipes to create her designer paper bg,

in this week's MIM at PapertreyInk.

That's right, BABY WIPES!

Ashley shows a couple of ways to use the wipes. I did a card

for my grandson, using the folded or rolled technique.

The reinkers I used are True Black & Harvest gold.

I kept it simple, letting those free form circles show.

After all, it's going to a 17 year old, who's definitely

more interested in the money inside!

The sentiment is black embossed onto a strip of 1 1/4" vellum.

Enamel dots created with Nuvo. Have you tried Nuvo?

Forms the perfect dot, any size you like.

Initial Sentiments: Birthday

The tiny dots randomly stamps are 3 dots from

Paper Clippings: Done in Love.

Enjoy your week!

Love Always

This morning sees a bit more light for photo taking.

Sharing a card for Inspired by All the Little Things.

Rather rustic, with the weathered wood,

and a big red distressed heart.

Just received Concord and 9th's Cozy Up stamps and dies. Ordered said set

after seeing a darling tag by our friend Marybeth Lopez, using the heart stamp,

(see here:Enjoy)

I actually used 2 Concord and 9th sets,

Cozy Up & Love Always

Love Aways has the die that cuts the attached word 'love' from the 

window created from the frame.

Cozy Up also has dies, even the sweet 3 circle wood rings I used

for my ombre heart.

PTI Inks: Berry Sorbet, Pure Poppy & Scarlet Jewel

Love Aways was stamped with Hero Arts Unicorn,

and selectively white embossed (Love Always).

Popped up the little ringlets with foam tape.

Nichole challenged us with this photo:

Bright, bold graphic, surfboards???

Stenciled Cover Plate: Twist Die, embossing paste and ink refils.

SAF '16: 1960's graphic dies (love those fun shapes!)

Sentiment: Wet Paint die

Used the stencil again on a black bg.

I stamped a woodgrain pattern on the larger orange image
