Happy Sunday, friends!
Time for a fun new creative challenge over at The Paper Players!
This week, the lovely Ann is hosting our Theme Challenge.
Ahhh, masculine cards. I don’t know about you but these are the cards that I ALWAYS need but never seem to have on hand. Ann’s Theme Challenge is fantastic inspiration to get some of those “guy cards” created. I always love seeing what everyone shares for creative inspiration, too. I sure hope you will get crafty and join us over at The Paper Players. We’d love to see what YOU create!
*I’ve listed all of the measurements and details for my card below and there is a full supply list at the very end of this post.
For my card, I decided to use the Legendary Ride stamp set and coordinating dies. I’m so happy that this set carried over into the new Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalog. I haven’t played with it nearly enough, so this challenge gave me the opportunity to show it some inky love. Although I really used the dies more than the stamps. Haha! I just love that you can piece together the motorcycle with all of the little pieces.
My layout is pretty simple. I love the Misty Moonlight with Pumpkin Pie and just added a “road” to ground the bike in Basic Gray. The Metal Plate 3D Embossing Folder added a fun pop of texture. Adding ribbon and embellishments is always hard for me on masculine cards. So I kept it simple with a little silver trim behind the sentiment and some of the Classic Matte Dots. I have only used the black dots on the sheet, so was excited to finally use another color. Haha!
Card Measurements and Details:
- Pumpkin Pie Cardstock: 5-1/2” x 8-1/2”, scored at 4-1/4”
- Basic Black Cardstock: 5-1/4” x 4”

Finally, here is a peek inside the card. Simply added a scrap of DSP along with two stamped images from the set to "keep the party going" from the front of the card. I already know who I’m sending this card to...and I made a couple extras to have on hand for some birthdays later on in the year.
I hope you will join us this week over at The Paper Players and share your project for our Theme Challenge. We’d love to see what you come up with! You can link up your project through Noon PST on Friday June 9th, 2023.

You nailed the masculine card theme and the colors are perfect!
ReplyDeleteAnne Marie, I love the Misty Moonlight plaid paper. It really lets the Pumpkin Pie stand out. Such a great card.
ReplyDeleteWow! Wow! Wow! What an amazing masculine card, Anne Marie! It is perfect all the way from the theme to the colors. It doesn't get any better than this!
ReplyDeleteI love the complimentary colors of your masculine card, Anne Marie. The choice to use the orange for the card base really brightens it and then the chrome accents are beautifully set off!
