Masculine HB

Hello & Happy Saturday!

Another cold day here in south central PA! Our weather has been crazy with very windy conditions, thunderstorms and now today it's snowing!! Yes, you read that right! They are predicting up to 3 inches and it's to snow most of the day. With any luck it will just lay on the trees and grassy area's and not the streets. They say this will be our onion snow (which means the last of the season). Warmer and more spring temperatures are to come this coming week, hopefully!

So, today I am sharing a masculine birthday card I made for my customer, Audrey. She requested a birthday card for her son. I really wasn't sure which direction to go in since I do not know him personally and she gave me no hints on anything about him. So, I found a small piece of this plaid paper from the Adventure Bound DSP Pad from last spring. It's the perfect paper for a man's card. I decided I was going to pull out this scenery stamp from Stampscapes that I have had for many years and it just stamps perfectly!

Here is the card...

Since I only found a small piece of this paper I decided to make a Z Fold type of card. 

I delivered her card order and Audrey just loved this card! I don't think I have ever seen her that excited! She continued to tell me that her son owns a log cabin in the woods and that this card was perfect for him. Well, that just made my day!

I think I need to go on a hunt for more of this paper. Sadly, I am almost out.

Happy Birthday Masculine Card:

Stamps: Stampscapes, Express Yourself (retired hostess)

Ink: Early Espresso

Cardstock: Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Whisper White, Adventure Bound DSP Pad

Accessories: Oval & Scallop Oval Punches, Early Espresso Twine, Dimensionals, 2 Sided Tape

That's all I have for today!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Another Masculine Card

Hello & Happy Friday!

Today I was in the mood for another masculine card. I love making them! This one will go on my card rack for sale once I add an envelope with it. Masculine cards don't stay on the rack very long!

The stamp on this card is from Stampscapes. They are known for making very nice landscape scene types of stamps. This is the only one I own but I find that I do use it quite often. I love that it can be stamped in black and colored or just stamped in one color and left as is. I added a button & Linen Thread to my card so this card will definitely have to be hand delivered! I could however take the button off and use the Sweet Buttons Embosslit to make a paper button that would not be bulky for mailing. Hummm, that is an option too! Other than that button, my card is very mail friendly!

Masculine Card:

Stamps: Stampscapes, Stampin Up! Happy Birthday

Ink: Soft Suede

Cardstock: Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla

Accessories: Woodgrain EF, Stamp A Ma Jig, Button, Linen Thread, Glue Dot, 2 Sided Tape

That's all I have for today!

Heading downstairs today to work on those calendars for my family! I will be happy when they are done and I can move on to some other fun projects! I will be sure to share them here once they are done.

Thanks for popping in today & enjoy your day!

Happy Stamping!
