Posted on May 19, 2016 in Cards, Die Cutting, Recent Works, Techniques, Tutorials

How to make a masculine card ? Traditionally I made cards, but they usually aren’t for men. Today I have a very masculine card to share with you. I decided to create this using a complete selection of wonderful products. The papers and glimmers are from Canvas Corp Brands, the Die Cut is from Die Versions and the stamp is from Joy Clair. Take a look at my card:

Creating this card was simple:

1. Cut the base using Early Espresso card stock. The size is 4-1/4″x11″ with score in 5-1/2″.
2. Cut a second layer using a light piece of 7Gypsies Vintage Varsity paper. The size is 4-1/8″x5″3/8″
3. Using scrap paper cut several times the die cut Retro Card from DieVersions.
4. Paste temporarily the retro cars that you cut in the step before over the layer of 7Gypsies Vintage Varsity paper.
5. Shake well the colors of your choice of Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels and spray your layer. In my model, I used Glimmer Mist Dragonfly, Glimmer Mist Golden Orange and Simply Sheer Safety Orange.
   
6. Remove the die temporal die cuts that you use to mask the paper.
7. Paste this decorated layer over the base of your card.
8. Stamp your sentiment using VersaFine Deep Lagoon and clear embossing powder. Cut this piece using a square die cut and create a frame using a second larger square. I used the stamp set Dad’s Day from Joy Clair.
9. To decorate the frame of my sentiment, I cut the Retro Car die cut using white foam. I cut this on foam because I want to reduce the size of the car and to do this, I can simply heat the foam with my heat tool.
10. After heating the foam and reducing the size of the die cut, I paint the car with Glimmer Glaze from Tattered Angels. I used Glimmer Glaze Blue Cheese and Glimmer Glaze Cowboy.
11. I assemble the card and added a few embellishments like White Crinkle Ribbon from DL Art Baby Bundle Collection., with a blue stapples.

Nice and easy, right?  What do you think?

All my supplies are listed on the instructions.

I hope my project inspires you to create masculine cards as well!! See you soon!
