Recently, I was challenged by a Stampin' Peace VIP Facebook follower to offer ideas for Masculine Cards that were not sports or nature related. Hmmm…now that one stopped me in my track. What would I do? What would products would I use? What colors would I use? Well…after some thought and a little help from some Facebook viewers, I came up with some great cards that I think you will like. These cards were created with Neutrals 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper and 2 different One Sheet Wonders – something I love to create and use in my card making. So watch this video demonstration from my February 9th Facebook Live. Then take a look at the One Sheet Wonders and masculine cards created with them.
I used the 6" x 6" One Sheet Wonder above with one 6" x 6" sheet of Merry Merlot paper from the Neutrals Designer Series Paper pack to make the 2 cards below.
Card stock dimensions for card on left above:
- Merry Merlot card base = 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
- Basic Gray = 5 1/4" x 4" and scrap for stamping & punching sentiment
- Basic White inside = 5 1/4" x 4"
Card stock dimensions for card on right above:
- Merry Merlot card base = 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
- Basic Gray = 5 1/2" x 2 1/2" and scrap for stamping & punching sentiment
- Basic White inside = 5 1/4" x 4"
Merry Merlot and Basic Gray work so well together. What other accent color would you use with Merry Merlot for a masculine card?
The color combination of Night of Navy and Crumb Cake are so classic. I made the following 5 cards using 2 sheets of Neutrals DSP (1 of each color), cut with the very simple 6" x 6" One Sheet Wonder shown above. Seems I just can't get enough of 6" x 6" One Sheet Wonders! I just love them and find that they make my designing and creating so much fun…and easy!
Card stock dimensions for 4 cards above:
- Card base = 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" and scrap for stamping & punching sentiment
- Card stock layer = 3 1/4" x 4 1/2" and scrap for punched layer
- Basic White inside = 5 1/4" x 4"
I love the 2020-2022 In Color Square Gems. They turned out to be the perfect embellishment for this card.
Card stock dimensions for card above:
- Crumb Cake card base = 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" and scrap for stamping & punching sentiment
