3 Masculine Cards - Couture Creations

Hi Everyone, Anet here today and welcome to my inspiration post. 

Today I want to show you how to create three different masculine cards with one Background Stamp and Reindeer Stamp or Die. I used the new Background Stamp, Homely Florals and Deck The Halls Collection from Couture Creations.

Instructions:

First - Christmas Reindeer Card

I first trimmed Firewood Cardstock to 4 1/4" x 11" and score it at 5 1/2" to create the card base.

I heat embossed the card front with the Wood Panel Background Stamp and then die-cut the front with the Couture Creations Circle Dies.

I then die-cut Matte Brown Foil Mirror Board with the Deck The Halls Happy Holidays Tall Card Nesting Die Set.

I trimmed white cardstock to 3 5/8" x 4 7/8" and adhered it onto the inside of the card.

I stamped the Deck The Halls Proud Reindeer Stamp onto Couture Creations Blending Card using Stamp and Colour Outline Ink Pad Soft Black. 

I then coloured it with the Couture Creations Twin Tip Alcohol Ink Markers and adhered the coloured image onto the inside of the card to finish.

Twin Tip Alcohol Ink Marker Combinations:

Reindeer: 7565, 174, 479, 7502

Snow: 545, 9482, 0 (Colourless Blender)

I trimmed Silver Star Cardstock to 3 7/8" x 5 5/8" and white cardstock to 3 5/8" x 5 3/8".

I then heat embossed the white cardstock with the Wood Panel Background Stamp and adhered it onto the card front.

I trimmed Silver Star Cardstock to 2 3/4" x 3 7/8 and Midnight Hour Cardstock to 3" x 4 1/8".

I trimmed Couture Creations Blending Card to 2 1/2" x 3 5/8", stamped the Deck The Halls Proud Reindeer Stamp using Stamp and Colour Outline Ink Pad Soft Black. 

I then coloured it with the Couture Creations Twin Tip Alcohol Ink Markers.

I die-cut Silver Star Cardstock with the Homely Florals Love Sentiment Cutting Die Set to finish.

Third - Birthday Tall Card
