cards for men – Stampin' with inkybutterfly

Making My Dad’s Birthday Card

Hello Everyone,

Here’s another quick card for the chaps in our lives…

For this project, the card base has been simply decorated by layering patterned paper and coloured cardstock.

This formula can be adapted very easily to suit the needs of the project you are making!

The Stitched So Sweetly dies make a simple sentiment topper and a bit of Wink of Stella adds some shine without being too feminine!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Lift Your Spirits

Good Morning!

This is one of favourite stamp sets and I am so glad it will be staying with us.

Today I am pairing it with the retiring In Colour, Dapper Denim.

The card base was made in the usual way by cutting an A4 sheet lengthways at 4-1/8 inches and scoring at 5-7/8 inches. A white card layer was added to this 1/4 inch shorter and narrower.

Subsequent layers of Dapper Denim and Whisper White card stock were cut 1/4 inch smaller.

These layers were adhered together. Some striped grosgrain ribbon was wrapped around these layers before adding to the card base with dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped with Dapper Denim ink and cut to size and adhered to some Dapper Denim card stock. This was added to the card where the ribbon crossed using dimensionals.

Three balloons were stamped and die cut. Two were adhered using dimensionals and the third flat to create an illusion of distance.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

For Dad

Good Morning,

Today’s card uses Marina Mist card stock, really gonna miss this colour.

A piece of Whisper White card stock was stamped using Timeless Textures. I chose Soft Sky, Marina Mist and Dapper Denim.

This was adhered to Dapper Denim card stock. Some striped grosgrain ribbon was wrapped around the card stock before adhering to the card base with dimensionals.

The Large Letter dies were used to cut the word Dad. This was adhered using multipurpose glue.

The ‘Happy Birthday’ was taken from the Thoughtful Banners stamp set and stamped using Dapper Denim ink.

You’re a Fox #GDP133

Hi there Everybody,

It’s a colour challenge at the Global Design Project.

You can see the inspiration from the design team here!

This is my project.

The colours screamed masculine.

I kept it really simple using some designer series paper from the True Gentleman collection which I adhered to a Crumb Cake card base.

Some Tranquil Tide ribbon was added along the top edge.

I used the Starburst and 2 inch ounces to cut Tranquil Tide and Night of Navy card stocks.

The sentiment from the Truly Tailored stamp set was stamped with Night of Navy ink and cut with the Tailored Tag punch.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

Inspire.Create 015

Good Morning,

Welcome to another Inspire.Create challenge entry!

This week is a masculine themed challenge. You can see what the design team created here!

This is my entry; I have used the Patterns and Pieces stamp set and Pick a Pattern paper.

I have made a black card base by cutting A4 card stock lengthways at 4-1/8 inches and scoring at 5-7/8 inches.

A Crushed Curry card layer was added to the card.

A black and white design from the Pick a Pattern DSP was cut to 3-7/8 inches by 5-5/8 inches.

A scrap of yellow DSP was added to the right hand side, below centre.

The sentiment was stamped in Memento ink on the Whisper White card stock and layered on to a strip of Crushed Curry card stock.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stampin’!
