SIMPLY HANDSOME

Hello! I’m so pleased that you have popped by my website/page/post/blog … to see what I have been up to in the wonderful world of Stampin’ Up!® creativity.

Some of my recent posts have featured the HYDRANGEA HILL DESIGNER SERIES PAPER. There is one design that screamed out to me to use for a masculine card. Obviously, without using the HYDRANGEA HAVEN BUNDLE.

I decided to use this sheet of DSP and integrate it with the WELL SUITED SUITE.

This card is all about collars and ties. And, it is a very uncomplicated card – quick and easy.

I used the tie die to cut the three ties – to create the three different ties, I moved the die to focus on three different angles of the paper. Then I cut three collars, as you can see.

The birthday greeting is clean and sharp. Next time I make this card I think that I will stamp the greeting a second time using a coordinating gray ink so that I can cut BIRTHDAY separately and overlay it – just a way to step up this card. You may have noticed that I have, again, used one of my favourite, go to, die sets – STITCHED RECTANGLES DIES.

I stamped one of the ties, in Mossy Meadow, on the card insert and envelope (although, I couldn’t find the envelope when I took this photo).

There are no ribbons or bling, but I think it is a great masculine birthday card.

Happy stamping.

BIRTHDAY SUIT

I laughed out loud when I chose this post title – please feel safe – there is nobody in their birthdday suit here.

The WELL SUITED SUITE is a wonderful collection of products for all the masculine cards and projects you want to make.

The stamp set – HANDSOMELY SUITED – and coordinating SUIT & TIE DIES will help you create such a wide variety of projects for the men in your life.

The WELL SUITED DESIGNER SERIES PAPER is the perfect match.

For this card, I chose a gray palette. And, I chose to use a pinstripe with a paisley. Such a well dressed card.

I think that I will replace the RHINESTONE BASIC JEWEL, on the tie bar, with a black embellishment – yet to decide.

Loving the totally cute, teeny-tiny 6 buttons that I can now die cut.

This card will be ideal for lots of different masculine occasions – birthday, congratulations (promotion, engagement, graduation etc) and many more occasions worthy of a classy suit card.

I am going to keep this card for my brother’s birthday, later in the year – he will be 51. He dresses well for his bank management job and I think he is quite a class act!

Who would you give a card like this to?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

These are the products I used to make this card. If you live in Australia, I look forward to helping you place your order.
