Masculine Makes

Birthday, Father's Day, masculine, Ocassions, Taylored Expressions

Hello friends!  I hope you had a great weekend!  It’s been record heat and continuing to be all this week over my way and it’s way too hot to be outdoors for any length of time!  So I thought it would be nice to bring the outdoors to my craft room instead.

I wanted to share the card I made for my husband for Father’s Day:

My husband is an outdoor type and where he prefers to be most of the time.  We really have fun going hiking and visiting parks whenever we can and this seemed like a great start for making a card for him.

I’ve used several Taylored Expressions items for this card including:  Great Outdoors Layering Stencil & Clear Combo, Through the Woods, Wood Slice Background Stamp, and Hello Lovely sentiment set to make this card along with an entire set pictured below.

For the background:  I stamped the Wood Slice stamp over kraft cardstock (along with the envelopes to match) and then I splattered some black and cream color paints over them.  I took the panel cut the Ridged Circle Stacklets into the background.  I wrapped some twine around it and attached them to an A2 side folding black card base.

The stencil creates four different scenes all at once by layering the stencils with colors you choose and then you cut each one out.  I layered mine over black cardstock and attached to the kraft card front panels.  I stamped the trees and sentiments and also added those to each card with some of them being popped up with foam tape.

Here’s what the rest of the cards look like using the same products.  I changed up the scenes for each one but using the same colors for each stencil layer.  I changed the sentiment so that I have a masculine card for several different occasions too.  There are lots of males in my family to send cards to and I always seem to run out of them.

Thanks so much for stopping in today!  I appreciate your kind words and taking the time out of your day!  See you soon!

  1. Your husband’s father’s day card is fabulous with such an earthy feel and look to it. I love the little scene behind the circle and how it all looks like it was created on a cut out from a tree trunk. What a fantastic masculine design. The other cards you made are equally stunning with an obvious male look and feel to them. Great crafting on each one of these cards. We are under a heat advisory here as well up to an including the weekend, so I’m staying inside too! Have a great Tuesday.

  3. I love all 3 of these cards you made Vicki. They have super texture-that is a great way to use the wood texture- and that is a cool stencil. We’re in the heat this week too, although it’s not bad yet probably because it’s a bit cloudy. Stay cool! Hugs Erika

  15. Absolutely gorgeous cards. I thought the centre was die cut until I read further on. I love these stencils that create multiple panels at one time. Thanks for joining in at Papercraft Challenges. P.S. feel free to send some of that hot weather over to the UK. It’s unseasonably cold at present although today did warm a little! X

The layered stenciling technique you employed for creating multiple scenes is impressive and versatile, ensuring each card is unique yet cohesive. It’s clear that your thoughtful approach resulted in a set of cards that will be cherished for their personal touch and craftsmanship.

  17. Love this set of cards! The TE stencils are so fun but I don’t recall seeing this set – so perfect for guys and outdoorsy types. The background tree ring stamp is awesome! They even remind me of the stamps you get from state parks! Really great set.
