Hello, thank you for stopping by. Welcome to the April Tech 4 Stampers blog hop. This month’s theme is Boys & Men, and if you are anything like me, then you find male cards a bit of a struggle. It’s not that I do not like to create with typical male colours or images, but I just find them a lot harder and for that reason I have created an Easy Male Card for you.

For today’s Easy Male card, I will be using the Trucking Along Stamp Set and Punch Bundle. This bundle is part of our Online Exclusive offering and can also be purchased separately. As soon as I saw this bundle I knew I had to have it. We used to own a 1949 Ford F1 pickup, which is remarkably similar in design to this image. I have created many cards with this, including Birthdays, Celebration and Christmas. We have a wide circle of friends, who also share our passion for classic American vehicles and Hot Rods.

Creating your Easy Male Card

Cut a piece of Soft Sea Foam cardstock, measuring 14.1cm x 9.7cm. Using Soft Sea Foam ink, stamp a scene onto your Soft Sea Foam card. I have used the cloud, tree, grass, and ground images. Layer this onto a a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock, measuring 14.4cm x 10cm.

Stamp your truck image onto Balmy Blue cardstock, using Balmy Blue ink and punch out, using the coordinating punch. Adhere this to your stamped scene, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a scrap of Basic White cardstock, stamp your sentiment, using Balmy Blue ink, and trim to size. Add a small scrap of Balmy Blue cardstock to the rear, allowing it to show beneath. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere this to your scene.

Create an A6 Cardbase, measuring 14.9cm x 10.5cm, using Basic White Thick cardstock. Adhere your layers to the front using multipurpose glue.

To finish your card, add several Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels.

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.
