Got Scraps?

Stampin_up_happiness_boy
The idea for the geometric and modern look of this card was inspired by a fashion catalog (photo below).  I played a bit with my paper scraps and elevated a few for the feeling of floating shapes.  It’s also the makings of an easy (Stamping 911 . . . 10 minutes or less) masculine card.

I began with an Old Olive card base.  The half circle of Summer Sun was leftover from a previous project.  Great to find it a home 🙂   TIP:  Try not to over think the positioning of these pieces or the colors used.  Soft Sky Textured and the Brocade Blue Square are popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I layered 1/4" circles over 1/2" circles for some contrast to all the straight edges.  I then added a large oval with the rub-on sentiment (also on dimensionals).

I listened to my readers’ feedback on masculine cards and created an "official" new category just for "boy" cards called "You’ve Got Male."  TIP: However, with just an extra floral rub-on, this card instantly gets a feminine touch (maybe even a fun teen card).

  1. What a great idea and it does work well for just about any age or gender. I’m delighted that you are going to add to the “male” card designs. They are always so hard to come up with and especially so when you have six in the family. Keep working your magic!
