Hello Meraki Friends! It's Candice happy to be with you this Monday! I have a great masculine birthday card for that special guy in your life for you today!
I used these products found in the Crafty Meraki store for my slimline design:
- MFT Happy Campers stamps & coordinating dies
- MFT BB Adorable Adventures stamps (sentiment)
- Crafty Meraki Trafalgar Square Para-dies
- MFT Outside the Box Level Up dies (banner)
- Oxide inks-fossilized amber & scattered straw
I began my slimline with an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base.
For the background, I trimmed a piece of pattern paper a little smaller than my card front. I then die cut one of the slimline square frame from dark brown cardstock and another one from Bristol Smooth cardstock for the stitched inserts. I inked the inserts with fossilized amber and scattered straw.
Next, I stamped the campers, scenery, and accessories on watercolor paper, colored them with Zig watercolor markers, and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I arranged them into my popped up frame either gluing down or using foam tape to give dimension to the scene. I finished by die cutting my stitched banner and stamping the sentiment in brown ink!
I hope you are inspired to try these colors and design for your next masculine card, I know they aren't the easiest for me!
You should also check out the HUGE selection of MFT products in the Crafty Meraki store, she usually always has them in stock when MFT sells out! She also has the same free shipping on orders $50 or more!
Thank you for visiting with me today!
Candice
