Masculine Themed Blog Hop

Welcome to the Masculine Themed Blog Hop- a collection of ideas from Stampin' Up! demonstrators featuring masculine themed creations. 

I needed a birthday card for my father and decided that the Stampin' Up! Enjoy the Moment  stamp set would be a great combination with an Evening Evergreen color scheme.  I decided to keep everything in earth tones to match my Dad's personality.  My nickname for him is Plant Man! 

I used some of the striped Pansy Petal Designer Series Paper at the bottom of my card front and matted that on Evening Evergreen cardstock.  Then I  stamped on a piece of an Evening Evergreen Ombre Gift Bag with Evening Evergreen ink and layered that behind the diagonal pieces.  I cut a label using the Tasteful Label dies and then stamped my sentiment and a focal image on Basic White.

I matted my focal image/sentiment layer on a large Evening Evergreen label with dimensionals.  On the large label, I punched holes in either end of that label using the Detailed Trio Punch then wound some Baker's Twine around several times and tied a knot.

I stamped another sentiment inside and them spritzed the entire card with an Evening Evergreen Stampin' Write marker and Wink of Stella Pen.
