Hi there stampers and card makers! Do we agree, it is tough to come up with a card for a fella?
This new embossing folder is a quick start to a card base... sets the theme, and is a break away for me from the more feminine cards I seem to end up creating. Adding in the Going Global stamp set and the awesome Going Places designer series stack that are in the 2016 Occasions catalog you can't miss coming up with a card to please your guy!
The card is the simple A2 size card, done in the tent style....
You still cut the base at 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and score at 4 1/4"...
I used Very vanilla for the first card and Lost Lagoon for the second card to change it up a bit.
The card base is then run through the Big shot using the World Traveler embossing folder (make sure the design works with the direction of the card).
Using the Triple banner punch, cut out a banner from the designer paper...
Strip is 1 1/2 inches wide.
Next stamp the world in Lost Lagoon ink, punch out. Then stamp the sentiment in Memento Black or Basic Black Archival ink, punch out using the Large Oval punch and punch 2 ovals to offset and frame out the sentiment. I also like to ink the edges of the punched pieces for added interest. Once ready to add to the card ...add Dimensionals to pop them up and add a few candy dots to embellish!
I like both color versions so don't be afraid to add color...
This card will be featured included in my next DEMO DAY card making class!
