Do you struggle designing cards for the men in your life!
I sure do — sometimes just a bit of nature will do the trick.
Today’s card was the second choice from my Fun Folds Class.
This card features the In the Meadow stamp set
and the Botanical Gardens designer paper.
I started with a piece of Basic Black cardstock — 5 1/2″ x 8 1/4″
Scored are 1 3/4″, 2 3/4″, 5 1/2″, 6 1/2
I added strips of the Botanical Gardens designer paper.
1. green pieces are 1 1/2″ x 5 1/4″
2. black piece is 2 1/2″ x 5 1/4″
Layers are:
Black — 4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″
Mossy Meadow — 4″ x 4″
Black — 2 3/4″ x 2 3/4″
Smoky Slate — 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″
I used Timeless Textures stamp set with
Mossy Meadow ink to stamp around the four sides
of the Mossy Meadow square.
I stamped the deer with Memento Black ink.
Then I used another stamp from Timeless Textures
with Smoky Slate ink to stamp over the deer
on the Smoky Slate carstock (I wanted to add a bit of texture).
I attached the 4 1/4″ square to the card front with dimensionals.
I also used dimensionals to attach the 2 3/4″ black square.
I added a piece of Smoky Slate cardstock 2 1/2″ x 5 1/4″
to the back of the card to stamp and write your message.
I had two different greetings from Sunburst Sayings stamp set
for everyone to choose the greeting they wanted inside their card.
They could stamp Happy Birthday to You or You Brighten My Day.
I think this card works for a masculine birthday, thank you
or even Father’s Day.
