Today I have a fun announcement to share. I have been invited to participate with the Global Design Stampin’ Video Hop on YouTube. Each month on the fourth Friday other Stampin’ Up Demonstrators from around the world come together and share their projects based on a monthly theme. May’s Theme is Masculine Makes.
When I created my card for today’s tutorial, I had my outdoor loving husband in mind. He is a great dad to our children and loves hiking. I think this card would be perfect for him on Father’s Day. When I create Masculine Handmade Cards, I always want them to be nice and simple with strong colors and lots of texture. I hope this card inspires you to create something for the men in your life.
Make sure to check out what everyone makes for this monthly Video Hop. You can start with my video, I have linked it below. You can find the next video at the top of the video’s description on YouTube. Have fun!

1- Stamp the Drybrush Background on the Smoky Slate cardstock with Smoky Slate ink. Adhere to the front of the card with dimensionals.
2- Attach a piece of Window Sheet to the base of the Stamparatus with a piece of masking tape on the left side to create a hinge. Stamp the greeting on the Window Sheet in Night of Navy ink. Punch the bottom of the 1” strip of Basic White Cardstock with the Banner Pick A Punch. Slide the cardstock underneath the window sheet and line up with greeting just above the flagged end, secure with magnets. Lift up the Window Sheet and stamp the greeting on the cardstock.
3- Die cut two ferns using the Forever Flourishing Dies from Soft Succulent & Evening Evergreen Cardstock. Use a stylus to make the embossing deeper, if you want (see video below).
4- Add the 1” strip to the right side of the vellum with about ¼” gap. Adhere the Ferns at the top of the vellum overlapping one another. Adhere the vellum to the center of the card.
All Done.
