Sheri here today with a masculine birthday card featuring the adorable Everyday Quokka stamp & die set!
Do you struggle with masculine cards? I know I do at times. I thought that starting with a ink blended background would be fun and this argyle background was perfect for a masculine themed card!
Steps to Create Card:
- Create a Mini Slimline card base: 3 1/2″ x 6″ (Cut card stock to 6″ x 7″, score at 3 1/2″ on the 7″ side).
- Cut Blue Mat: 2 15/16″ x 5 7/16″.
- Cut White Panel for stenciled back ground. Start with a piece of card stock measuring 3 1/2″ x 6″. Using the Newton’s Nook Argyle Stencil and two shades of blue (GKD Blue Denim & GKD In The Navy) to stencil the background. I found using the Mini Detail Blending Brushes helpful for the stitching. You want to pounce up and down to create the clean lines.
- Trim White/Stenciled Panel down to 2 13/16″ x 5 5/16″.
- Cut out a white 2 1/2″ circle from the Never Ending Circle die set. Depending on the look you want I trimmed off to match the blue mat once the card was assembled.
- Stamp and Color the Quokka and present from the Everyday Quokka stamp set. I stamped with alcohol friendly ink and used copic markers. Then I cut out with the coordinating die set. You can also fussy cut the images out.
- Stamp sentiment from the Everyday Brush Strokes stamp set with Versamark and emboss with white embossing powder. Now trim into a sentiment strip (approx 2 1/4″ x 3/8″).
- Assemble card. For dimension I added foam tape to pop up the card panel to the card base, the circle element, Quokka and present. This is optional.
- For embellishment I added a few enamel dots from the America the Great collection.
