This is my last Valentine’s Day card of the year but definitely not the least! It’s created for my husband, Scott. I love the rustic mix of the wood grain patterns (Wood Textures 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper) for the masculine card and envelope flap.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
The medium and largest hearts were cropped with the Sweet & Sassy Framelits Dies, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine and Magnetic Platform. The Magnetic Platform allows me to cut the exact wood grain pattern I want for these hearts.
The “always” stamp and coordinating heart die are both from the Sure Do Love You Bundle.
The ultimate pizzazz is a wood cut stem from Touch of Nature Elements. I adhered it with Glue Dots.
Quick and easy! The flagged end was created with the Banner Triple Punch.
5/8″ Burlap Ribbon and Linen Thread are the final rustic touches!

Where can I find the “recipe” to make this card?
Could I buy from you a card just like the one that you showed on Pinterest that you made for your husband Scott ? I would like it to be as large as possible . 6×6″or even 5×7″.
Actually I would like to buy 2. I am a little crafty but could never buy all the different parts needed to make this!!
Hi Michael,
I am sorry, but I do not sell my creations, I only sell the products used to create them. Mary
I did something VERY similar (based on this) and my husband just loved his valentine day card! Thanks for the beautiful idea!
I’m thrilled that you were inspired by the card and that your husband loved it, Laura!
I saw this on Pinterest and had to come see for myself. Glad I did, it’s a fantastic card! Love all the different wood looks and the wooden stem is a lovely touch. Thanks so much for sharing!
Welcome to my blog, Jacq, and thank you for leaving your sweet comment. I think it’s perfect for a masculine Valentine (and more)!
lovely card! tfs
Thanks, Susan. That’s a delight to hear!
I absolutely love this card. It is masculine and very sweet at the same time.
That’s what I was going for. Thanks, Betty!
What a unique use of this dsp pack, so extremely creative. I love it
I think it’s some of the most interesting designer series paper we have . . . can roll modern or rustic depending on what’s around it. Thanks, Robbye!
I love this! Such a great masculine card, and so much wonderful texture.
The texture of the “wood” really gives it a masculine feel. I’m glad you love it, Sandy!
What a great “guy” card for Valentine’s Day. Thanks for solving the VDay Dilemma of the ages!!!
Let’s hope “my guy” enjoys it just as much! Thanks, Karren, for stopping by!
Mary this is lovely!
Thanks, Julie. I appreciate all the kind feedback. I’m feeling confident my husband will love it, too!
WOWZA! This is a stunner, Mary! I love everything about this layout and the textures/colors. Amazing!
Thanks, Brian. I enjoyed playing with the hearts and am glad I added the linen thread and burlap for some added “sauce!”
Another winner! So many old songs from the 70’s that this card fits into. Oops! There’s my age again. Music is the language of love, and this card sings!
Love it, Sandra. I’m going to guess we are the same vintage!
I absolutely LOVE this card Mary! Fantastic collage of rustic goodness.
Rustic goodness – great description, Dana!
Love this card Mary, I have sons and this will be the perfect card for them. I always like how simple your cards are yet they are still a “WOW” card! Keep those great ideas coming!
It’s my pleasure, Dori. Thanks for adding sunshine to my day!
LOVE this masculine card, Mary! ALWAYS appreciate masculine card ideas as they are more “challenging” to create! Thank you so much!
Am I the only one who enjoys creating masculine cards? I realize they can be a challenge and am thrilled this card provided some inspiration, Judith!
I LOVE this card. Your timing as always is right on. Masculine cards are a challenge that’s for sure. You hit a home run with this!
Thanks, Jenny. I love that the timing was “right on!”
I think you have created the PERFECT masculine Valentine’s card. It is PERFECT!
Thanks, Kadie. Hopefully, it offers some ideas and can go together quickly for anyone who wants to CASE it!.
Good morning, Mary,
Tell your husband he gets a two thumbs up on the card design.
Celia
This is a perfect card for that special man in your life. Love the different textures you’ve used, the design lifts off the card.
Many Stampin’ Dimensionals helped me create that “lift,” Deb. Thanks for stopping by and your comment!
Making a masculine card is always a challenge but a Valentine is the most difficult! Your card shows how you can express your feelings without it being too much. The wood tones are the perfect touch. Will try my hand at this one, Mary! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Thanks, Debbie. Your feedback means the world and I hope you enjoy recreating this card with your artful touches!
Wow!! STUNNING!!! I absolutely LOVE this card. I look forward to your blog posts everyday. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you so much, Laura. I futzed with the hearts for awhile until I liked the layout. The mix of wood patterns really works!
Ohh!! Mary, this card is GORGEOUS!!! Love the layout of all of the elements, the fabulous textures and colors.
It’s great to know you can use colors other than red, to create a fabulous and elegant masculine Valentine.
Off to Pinning this card to my Masculine Cards board.
Thank you for sharing.
XO
Maria.
Thanks, Maria. I think the wood stem helps to soften the look but still keep the “wood” and rustic feel!
So very elegant and tasteful. Love the non traditional twist for a masculine Valentine card.
Love to hear this, Gail. You could easily change the colors and it could be masculine or feminine.
I absolutely love this card. It is masculine and very sweet at the same time.
