Stamptastic Friends May Blog Hop Masculine

It's time to hop along with the Stamptastic Friends May Blog Hop as we showcase Masculine themed projects to help inspire you. Our wonderful Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas to help spark your creativity. Masculine projects can be challenging and I hope that we will be able to provide you with ideas to help you create your own beautiful projects for the guys in your life.

For my card design, I decided to use products from the new Take To The Sky Suite Collection in the new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. I chose to use the Adventurous Sky Bundle with the coordinating Take To The Sky Designer Series Paper to create a clean and simple masculine birthday card. I chose to use one of the designs from the designer series paper as the background and focal image of my card design. To help step up the design, I heat embossed the sentiment with Silver embossing powder onto a strip of Night of Navy cardstock and added the stamped and die cut image of the small plane as an accent to the design. I love vintage planes and I felt like the Smoky Slate/Night of Navy color combination was perfect for this style of card.

It's always fun playing with new products and I was excited to explore new possibilities with this new suite. One of the sheets of designer series paper is made up of a series of smaller images or sections and I was drawn to the larger Smoky Slate vintage plane for my background. I trimmed it to 5 1/4" x 4" for my card front and attached it to my Night of Navy card base, which really helps make the background design pop. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image with Silver Embossing Powder towards the left side and attached the strip to the card front, about a 1/4" from the bottom. I stamped the smaller plane with Smoky Slate Classic ink onto Basic White cardstock and die cut it out with the coordinating die. I then attached the die cut to the right side of the sentiment strip. To complete the card design, I added two small Silver Sequins to coordinate with the Silver embossing. I love how this card came together and I think this is a classic masculine design that would work for a variety of occasions.
