Masculine Card Idea – 30 Day Card Challenge, Day 7

Stampin Up Masculine From Land to Sea Card Ideas - Shannon Jaramillo Stampinup

I’ve switched gears to share an idea for a masculine card, we ALWAYS need those!

The Details:

  • The Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack is a 6″ x 6″ paper stack that is perfect for gender neutral cards! I have showcased two different patterns today
  • I chose Crumb Cake, Tip Tip Taupe and Marina Mist to coordinate with the pattern papers
  • Layers are a fun way to add depth and interest while still keeping the design clean

  • The From Land To Sea stamp set has wonderful realistic seaside images, I used my paper snips to trim out this one which reminds me of the Saint Augustine Lighthouse. So pretty!
  • The sentiment and the ‘sand dune’ are from the recently retired but hugely popular Thoughtful Branches Photopolymer Stamp set but you could use really any sentiment you want. I love this one because it covers SO many occasions!
  • Did you see the tiny scallops around the sentiment! It’s from the Layered Circles Framelits Dies, the scallops get so cute as they get smaller!

  • The tiny bits of Marina Mist really help to add visual interest while the bits of Linen Thread do that as well as adding a “beachy” vibe.
  • I refrained from using any Wink of Stella on this card…it was tough to do!!

I hope you are enjoying the daily inspiration, I sure am having fun creating them!

From Land to Sea Meets Guy Greetings - Freshly Made Sketches #243

I’m thrilled to share this fun sketch by Amy over at the Freshly Made Sketches Design Team:

FMS Final 243-001

It’s such a clean sketch with LOTS of possibilities! My first thought was how perfect the sketch would be to showcase a designer series paper!

The beautiful nautical paper inspired me to pull out a new-to-me stamp set called From Land to Sea. I paired the lovely Dapper Denim with two neutral colors, Early Expresso and Crumb Cake to keep the focus on the lovely pattern and color. The clean lines really emphasize the masculine feel to the card, as does this sentiment from the Guy Greetings stamp set. Also a new-to-me set, even though they have both been around for at least one catalog cycle. I am thrilled that with how well they work together and foresee more masculine cards in my future!
