Curly Label Punches It Up

Stampin up well scripted curly label punch

They're easier than you think.  I often hear a bit of grumbling from my fellow stampers about the challenge of creating masculine cards.  If you think clean, geometric and crisp color combos . . . you're already there!  Click here for my Masculine Card Basics.

STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:

  • Stampin up curly label punch The Stampin' Up! Curly Label Punch pops out a simple, geometric background when adhered as a pattern (Crushed Curry Textured Card Stock adds a rich touch).
  • I believe  a Masculine card can handle a touch of ribbon . . . Stampin' Up!'s Basic Gray 5/8" Satin Ribbon reminds me of a tuxedo–exceptionally "man" friendly.  I flared the ends for another simple detail.
  • Need a little inspiration?  Click for more of my Masculine Card Samples.
  • Stampin up well scripted hodgepodge hardware When in doubt, layer less.  This Wide Oval sentiment looks clean and
    masculine with just a touch of metal (Styled Silver Hodgepodge
    Hardware).

  2. Great card! Love the simplicity of it. But unless you want to be guilty of favorites, you’ll have to come up with projects using Larry and Moe Punches!

  3. I LOVE the idea of using the punch … brilliant! 🙂

    Its funny, I actually have a hard time making girlie cards … maybe its that urban/NYC thing. LOL I tend to use a lot of blues and greens, kraft and chocolate chip in general.

  4. Wow, that is such a genius idea(the curly label punch pattern), I love it. You know what though, it reminds me of a chain link fence, lol, which makes it even better for a masculine card.

  6. Amazing idea! I love the color combination and had sort of toyed with that idea since I used to have some drapes that had sort of the curry color, gray and then rust mixed in. Anyway, I know my husband would love the card but then again he even likes flowery ones too. Once again, you totally amaze me with your ideas and talent.
