Hello and welcome to Mays Stamptastic Friends Blog Hop. This month’s theme is – For The Men. As I have said before, I do struggle with male cards and again, I have created a simple card for you.

I have chosen to use the Circle Sayings bundle for this card. This is a stamp set and punch bundle, which has something for every occasion. The 2-3/8″ 6cm Circle Punch makes creating fabulous toppers so easy.

For The Men card

Cut a piece of Night of Navy/Misty Moonlight checked Designer Series Paper (DSP), from the Delightfully Eclectic 12″x12″ DSP, measuring 6cm x 14.4cm. Matt on to a layer of Night of Navy cardstock, measuring 7cm x 14.4cm, using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Wrap a length of Linen Thread twice around the middle and tie in a bow to the righthand side.

Create an A6 card base, measuring 10.5cm x 14.9cm, using Night of Navy cardstock and matt with a Basic White layer, measuring 10cm x 14.4cm. Adhere your DSP and cardstock to the center.

Stamp your image onto Basic White cardstock, using Stazon Jet Black ink. Using Watercolor Pencils, I have used a selection from both assortment 1 & 2, colour your image and punch out with the Circle Punch. Adhere over the thread, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Finishing touches.

Add several white Classic Matte Dots.

I hope I have inspired you to get creative. All products used and listed below and available to purchase from my online shop.
