For this blog hop I have created a masculine birthday card,
Each month, the team that brings you the Creative Stampers Tutorial Bundle also brings you these blog posts to give you a flavour of this month’s projects. We can’t show you the tutorial projects, because those are exclusive to those who earn or buy the bundle. However, I can give you a sneak peek of mine.
A Masculine Birthday Card
For my hop project, I have stayed with the same stamp set as I used in my tutorial – A Good Man, but combined it with some new products from the Annual catalogue which launched yesterday.
- Stamp Sets: A Good Man
- Tools: Tailor Made Tags; Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine
- Paper/Card: Basic Black; Basic White; Gold Foil; Simply Elegant Speciality Designer Series Paper
- Ink & Pens: Memento, Watercolour Pencils

| A4 Metric | ImperialLetter size | |
| Basic Black Card Base | 14.9cm x 21cm Scored at 10.5cm on the long side | 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ Scored at 4 1/4″ on the long side |
| DSP | 14.4cm x 10cm | 5 1/4″ x 4“ |
| Basic White | 13.9cm x 9.5cm | 5″ x 3 3/4″ |
Instructions
- Fold the card base along the score line. Cut a 1″/4cm strip from the DSP and flip it over. Stick the two pieces of DSP to the card front with the foiled piece showing on the smaller left hand side and the diamond pattern on the larger right hand side.
- Die cut the two tags, the largest one in Black and the 2nd largest in white. Cut the corresponding reinforcer pieces from gold foil.
- Stamp the image onto the white tag with Memento ink and colour in with the Basic Black and Basic gray watercolour pencil
- Stick the reinforcers in place on the two tags and stick the tags together with dimensionals. Thread the gold thread through both holes and then tie a bow around the thread with Black Baker’s twine. Add the tag to the card front with dimensionals.
- Stamp the greeting onto a small piece of Basic White cardstock and cut out the individual words. Stick these to the tag and finish with some Black matte Dots.
- Stamp the image onto the corner of the Basic White mat before sticking it to the inside of the card.
