Masculine cards | The Great Escape Collection | Anna Komenda
Hello everyone. It’s Anna here with another project made with brand new “The great escape” collection. This time I don’t have layout for you. Instead I wanted to share three simple, masculine cards. I don’t know how about you, but I always have problems making cards for men and I never have enough in my stash to give them away with gifts. I have plenty of pink and floral ones though… You all know I am not a master in making masculine projects at all so I like to keep thing as simple as possible. Simplicity is a key to success when you struggle!
Let’s start with the basics. To avoid looking for a matching card base, I like to make them with single sheets from A5 Paper Stack. I just fold them in half and it’s done! The best part is that pages are single sided so inside of the card is white and ready for your message. It’s not the first time that I am using this trick.
First card was inspired by one of the papers in A5 Paper Stack with a sort of a simple landscape. I trimmed it to the card size and added stitching around it. Next, I reached for my stash of old CVS Alpha Stickers from variety of collections and created a title “Sky is the limit”, which works great with the landscape. The last step was adding trees from Die Cut Ephemera pack on the bottom and clous fussy cut from one of the papers. Super cute and tine Puffy Stickers and the perfect finishing touch.
Second card was inspired by the navy paper with night sky. I trimmed it to the proper size, added stitching around it and created a card title using Puffy Alpha Stickers from a bit older “Heart & Home” collection. “Reach fo the stars” needed to be surrounded by stars of course. So I cut them out from one of the papers from A5 Paper Stack. I also picked few from Die Cut Ephemera pack. I finished my composition with tiny stars from Puffy Stickers sheet.
Inspiration for my third card came from this pocket card with numbers, cut out from “Wild life” paper. It looks like a bucket list, so I added incouraging words from 6*12 Accessory Stickers. I backed the card with a piece of “Happy camper” paper and embellished everything with bits and pieces from Die Cut Ephemera and Chipboard Stickers. Can you guess the final step? Yep. Super cute Puffy Stickers.
That is all for today my Friends. Do you also struggle with masculine projects or it’s a piece of cake for you?
Thank you so much for staying with me and see you in two weeks.
XO Anna
