Even though I prefer floral cards, I do have a need for the occasional masculine card. I have several samples to share with you today,
I started this card by ink blending Galactic Stream, Orange Cream and Just Green inks onto a piece of white cardstock. After this was completed, I dry embossed the piece using the Organic Linen Embossing Folder. Using a finger dauber, I inked various areas with Versa Mark Embossing Ink, applied Rose Gold Embossing Powder and heat set it. I cut this piece down to leave a space for my partial sentiment and heat embossed this on my card front using the same embossing powder. My card is made from the Spicy Yogurt card stock. This is a card stock everyone should try! I cut the Happy Die once from some brushed gold cardstock and twice from white card stock. These were glued together for dimension and then attached to my card front. A bow and brad from my stash were also added.
Below is a card I made awhile back using leftover pieces that I die cut from aluminum foil colored with alcohol markers. I also used the same die to dry emboss on the card. This is an easy fun fold card. The design is very adaptable to a variety of stamps and ideas.
I used the Fine Frames Diamond Die Set for my die cuts and embossing. The Happy Birthday is from the Birthday Greetings set. I colored the letters with the same alcohol markers to match my die cuts. The inside greeting is from the Just A Number Stamp Set.
Lastly, I created a card to resemble metal. At least, that is what it reminds me of. This card is a mini slim line size, perfect for a regular envelope.
After adhering aluminum foil to cardstock, I dry embossed the piece using the Illusion Triangles 3D Embossing Folder. Even though it was hard to capture in the photos, I ran a black ink pad over the embossed piece to give it a slightly distressed look. I attached this to my card front, added a black frame and my die cuts. I used the Bold Greetings Die Set for my Hello.
I used black cardstock with a tiny bit of shine for my die cuts. I think guys need a tiny bit of bling!
HAPPY STAMPING!
