More masculine cards...just in time for Fathers Dad prep!

by mlloyd | 8 years ago

Hi everyone! It’s Social Media Design Team member Karen, and I have a bit of a “continuation” post for you today! A couple of months ago, I shared a post in which I showcased a bunch of masculine cards I had made with the Treasures stack available at Michaels. I have confession to make – I was holding out on a few! Once I got started with the stack, I had a hard time stopping, even though I typically find masculine-themed cards and projects difficult! This stack was so much fun to work with that I got all of the birthday cards done for the men in my life, as well as the pair that I wanted to share with you today – a couple of fun Father’s Day cards.

For this set, I decided to work with the fun typewriter key patterned paper from the stack. It’s a great print not only because of the vintage feel, high contrast images, and glossy finish, but also because it is filled with letters – letters you can cut out to create fun messages, words, names, etc.

I played a little bit of “Where’s Waldo” and found a selection of “d”s and a few “a”s that I cut out and pieced together to add on top of a few tags also cut from the stack. I slightly distressed the edges of the tags and then added them to the card base using some foam adhesive squares for a bit of dimension. Topped with a bit of silk ribbon in masculine colours, I love the fact that these cards look vintage but polished at the same time!
