Q uick and easy masculine card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Garden Green Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" of dark green plaid design from Gingham Cottage 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, cut bottom 1-1/8" off and flip it over
- 2-7/8" x 3-3/8" from Gray Granite Cardstock
- 2-3/4" x 3-1/4" from Very Vanilla Cardstock
If you haven't already done so, use the Paper Trimmer to cut the bottom 1-1/8" off of the Gingham Cottage Designer Paper rectangle.
Adhere the larger piece of the designer paper with the smaller plaid pattern to the top of the large Gray Granite rectangle so there is about 1-1/16" of Gray Granite showing on the top, left, and right edges.
Adhere the smaller piece of the designer paper with the larger plaid pattern to the bottom of the large Gray Granite rectangle so it is just below the larger piece and there is about 1-1/16" of Gray Granite showing on the bottom, left, and right edges.
Cut a 4-1/2" piece of the Gray Granite 1/4" Shimmer Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon horizontally across the bottom of the Gray Granite/designer paper rectangle so it covers the seam between the two pieces of designer paper. Fold the ends of the ribbon over and secure the ribbon in place on the back with strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape pieces and add Stampin' Seal to the back of the Gray Granite rectangle. Adhere the rectangle to the front of the Garden Green card.
Mount the wolf on a rock image from the Wildlife Wonder Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Gray Granite Ink Pad. Leave the stamp on your work surface inky rubber side up. Use the brush tip of the Soft Suede Stampin' Write Marker to color in the shaded fur areas on the wolf. Breathe on the stamp to moisten the ink. Stamp the image in the center of the top of the vertical Very Vanilla rectangle. Make sure to leave room for the sentiment below.
Mount the "To A Great Guy" sentiment from the Wildlife Wonder Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Garden Green Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the bottom of the wolf stamped vanilla rectangle.
Adhere the stamped vanilla rectangle to the center of the small Gray Granite rectangle.
Adhere the matted wolf rectangle to the front of the card so it is centered side to side and the bottom edge is just above the ribbon.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of the Gray Granite 1/4" Shimmer Ribbon.
Tie a half knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot to the front of the card at a slight angle so it is centered over the ribbon already on the card just below the lower right corner of the matted wolf image.
