Stamping With Friends Masculine Cards Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stamping With Friends Masculine Card Blog Hop as we showcase projects to help inspire you to get creative for the men in your life. I often hear people say that they struggle to create masculine cards and don't know where to start. So take a trip along our blog hop and visit with our Design Team members as they share their ideas and projects to help spark your creativity.

One of the best suites in the new 2022-2023 Annual Catalog for creating masculine cards, would have to be the He's The Man Suite Collection, found on pages 78-79. The products in this suite are perfectly coordinated to take all the stress out of creating projects for the men in your life. I love the variety of themes in this suite and it gives you so many options for creating cards for the Father's Day, birthday, retirement and so much more. I decided to create this simple fun fold to showcase the wonderful images and dies from the He's All That Bundle and the amazing He's The Man Designer Series Paper makes a wonderful background.

I love creating bold masculine cards with clean and simple designs. This suite makes it so easy to plan out and put together a wonderful card design without a lot of fuss. The colors I chose are from the designer series paper and include Early Espresso, Cajun Craze and Sahara Sand and I added Gold accents to step up the design. The flap is easy to create and I used the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder to add texture to the front layer without clashing with the background stripes of the designer series paper. I heat embossed the sentiment with Gold embossing powder onto a label die cut with the All That Dies and I embellished it with the Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to add some subtle bling. The Gold Foil scalloped circle coordinates with the embossing and adds a touch of classic elegance to the design. The detailed die cuts help finish off the design and the Early Espresso cardstock pops against the embossed Cajun Craze background. On the inside of the flap, I stamped the Father's Day sentiment with Early Espresso Classic ink onto the Sahara Sand cardstock layer. I think it makes a wonderful alternative to Basic White or Very Vanilla.
