Hi everyone! It’s time for this month’s Creative Challenge with My Favorite Things! The MFT Design Team Creative Challenge is a monthly feature where we are challenged to explore our creative side using a specific theme, product, or technique. This month we are Making it Masculine, creating for men/boys.
I created this card for my father-in-law. He truly is a man who has everything so with that in mind, we purchased a gift card we knew he could use. I used the gift card to my advantage, incorporating it into my card design.
From Gift Card Greetings, I stamped “FOR THE” using Black Licorice ink. Below the DAD, I used Stazon Jet Black ink to stamp “who has everything” directly onto the gift card.
I die-cut two Photo Corners from Steel Gray card stock, using each, along with screw brads, to hold the gift card in place while allowing easy removal.
On the inside, I stamped a simple Happy Father’s Day sentiment from Clearly Sentimental about Fathers.
My second masculine card was a bit more difficult. My husband needed a sympathy card for a friend at work.
I used Rectangle Die-namics to die-cut a mask, then used a light yellow Copic (Y23) with my airbrush to create the background on Smooth White card stock. The flowers, from Peaceful Wild Flowers, were stamped using Hot Fudge ink, as was the sentiment. The floral panel was matted onto Hot Fudge card stock, I layered ribbon (using X-Press It Double-sided tape to adhere) and stitched a Hot Fudge button using Hemp Cord.
On the inside, I added a sentiment from Clearly Sentimental about Sympathy along with a few more sprigs of flowers.
Be sure to check out the MFT blog for more masculine inspiration!
Thanks for visiting today! 🙂
