I have a number of birthday cards to make this month for the men in my life and have been anxious to use the Stampin’ Up! Spec-tacular Single Stamp. I combined the little glasses of the stamp with a clean, graphic style that is very “man-friendly.” This card and stamp can work for a “thank you” or Father’s Day card, too.
This week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge (MOJO283) was the foundation of my card. Note that I flipped it 90 degrees.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- Simply fun! I stamped the Spec-tacular stamp in Early Espresso and then (partially) Real Red. One pair of glasses from Real Red was snipped out and popped up on slivers of Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Using a Stampin’ Up! Early Espresso Stampin’ Write Marker, I isolated just the words “one in a million” (eliminating “that makes you”) on the sentiment. See the One in a Million stamp set images below.
- Real Red Core’dinations Card Stock was used as the background. It has a textured finish, perfect for a masculine card. View more of my Stampin’ Up! Masculine Card Samples.
- The final coordinating touch is a bit of Real Red Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper on the envelope flap.
