Hello and welcome to this month’s Tech 4 Stampers Blog Hop. For October we have a theme of ‘For The Men’. I always struggle with masculine makes and do not tend to purchase specifically masculine products unless they have something to do with cars. I do however have lots of gorgeous DSP (Designer Series Paper), and I am making a conscious effort to use more.

DSP can be a fantastic way to create a wonderful card with very little effort. The DSP becomes the main focus and all you really need to add is a sentiment. This is great if you are short on time or have quantity of cards to make,

A Simple Masculine Birthday Card

Create an A6 cardbase, measuring 10.5cm x 14.9cm, using Daffodil Delight cardstock. Matt with a piece of DSP, measuring 10cm x 14.4cm, I have chosen a piece from the Lovely In Linen pack.

Stamp your sentiment onto Basic White cardstock, using Night of Navy ink, and die cut, using the third largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Using the Hello Beautiful stamp set, stamp several shapes/patterns onto your sentiment circle, with first- and second-generation Daffodil Delight and Balmy Blue inks.

Also using the Stylish Shapes Dies, die cut the second largest circle from Daffodil Delight cardstock and the largest banner from Balmy Blue cardstock. Matt your sentiment circle onto your Daffodil Delight circle and your Balmy Blue banner onto your DSP, placing it central top to bottom and over to the left-hand side.

Add your circles to the left-hand side of your banner, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I do hope you have found some inspiration with me. All products used are listed below and available to purchase from my online shop.

Please do continue to hop round for lots more inspiration.

Happy Crafting
