Hey all, since today is my son’s birthday I thought I would share with you the gift card holder that I am going to give him. No don’t worry this is not a spoiler alert. He does not pay attention to my blog posts. Depending on the cardstock you choose, either one of today’s designs would be a great masculine card for someone special. The holidays are just around the corner, so dig out those patterned papers and give these gift card holders a whirl.

Masculine Birthday-Embossing Technique #114 Weekly Wednesday

Leave a Comment / Happy Birthday, Masculine Cards, Stamping Techniques, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Hey all, happy Wednesday. Wow this week certainly is going by quickly. I am here today to share a simple embossing technique using white craft ink and the Fern and Flora stamp set. If you are like me and struggle with creating masculine cards, you are going to enjoy this video.

Step 1

Choose a neutral cardstock and ink. I am using Crumb Cake cardstock with Early Espresso ink. Stamp desired image full strength and stamped off several times on the corners of your cardstock.

Step 2

Stamp the image on one corner with white craft ink and emboss with white embossing powder. Remember to use your embossing buddy or a dryer sheet to remove static before stamping.

Step 3

Use a blending brush and Early Espresso ink to add a bit of color around stamped images. Use a dryer sheet or soft cloth to remove the color from white embossed image.

Step 4

Use an aqua painter, ink and water (or alcohol) to create splatter on your image.

Step 5

Stamp greeting and attach Crumb Cake panel to Early Espresso and then to card front. Add a Basic White panel to the inside and decorate as desired.

Happy Monday all. I am so excited to share with you this stinkin’ cute box and 4 coordinating tags that I created using a 6 x 12 piece of DSP. You will be amazed at how super simple this comes together. Create a box and tag for any occasion, but how great for a holiday gift, especially for teachers and co-workers.

Finished Box: 3 x 3.5 x 1.5

Designer Series Paper of Choice: 6 x 12

Cut paper to 6 x 10.5 and then cut 1.5 x 6 inch strip into three 2 inches pieces.
