Inspire.Create.Challenges Masculine Challenge Card Making Papercraft

This week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge is a Theme… and it’s a Theme that I think a lot of us struggle with, cards for men! They are tricky to please, and they don’t want pink, or floral, or bows… and lets be honest, that’s a LOT of our crafting! However, Stampin’ Up! to the rescue again… with the True Gentleman suite!

How to make a fun Masculine Birthday Card using Truly Tailored from Stampin' Up!

This card was inspired by another card I have made recently (that I’ll be sharing with you very soon!). I have been really enjoying making men’s card with the True Gentleman suite, the stamps and Designer Series Paper just tie together so perfectly… don’t you LOVE it when products do that, makes crafting so easy!

The card base is in Sahara Sand, and the first layer is a sheet of Night of Navy card stock embossed using the Hexagons Embossing Folder. You can find my standard card making measurements HERE!

Cool Man's card using Truly Tailored from Stampin' Up!

There are 3 different pieces of Designer Series Paper at work here too… along with a circle of DIY Designer Series Paper (stamped using the Truly Tailored stamp set). The circles are all cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits, these dies are definitely at the top of my crafty MUST HAVE list, I use them SO often!

This card is finished with a trio of strips of Night of Navy Corduroy Ribbon.

I would LOVE to see you masculine creations, join in with us at Inspire.Create.Challenges!

StampinByHannah Independent Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Birthday Card week

Before I get into the blog post for today… I just want to let you know that today is my January Facebook Live Online Card Class! Check out my Facebook page at 2PM!

Last Friday was my birthday… but one day isn’t long enough to celebrate is it?! So, this week I have a WHOLE WEEK of fabulous birthday inspiration for you!

Today’s card is one I made for one of my Father-in-law’s birthday’s before Christmas. As a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator I get to pre-order new products the month before catalogue launches, and I took full advantage of that to make this card!

Birthday Card Week Quick and Easy Guys Birthday Card using True Gentleman from Stampin' Up!

One of the many things that drew me to this particular suite in the new Spring Summer catalogue is the colour combination in this Designer Series Paper; Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry, Night of Navy, Tranquil Tide and Very Vanilla. You guys know how much I love a good colour combination, and I LOVE this one! I have to say though that when I first read ‘Crushed Curry’ in the catalogue, it did think that someone had made a mistake, but no, there is a hint of Yellow in these papers and it really makes thinks Pop!

Carrying on with the hint of Yellow theme, I added my own to this card. I mentioned a few weeks ago that sometimes I want a hint of colour behind a die cut, and that layering another die cut is sometimes too much… well, I pulled out this technique again here. Once I had the circle stamped and die cut, I ran the circle through my Crushed Curry ink pad to add a hint of colour.

Thanks for checking out StampinByHannah today… please consider signing up for my emails for twice weekly inspiration, and I’ll see you again soon!
