Jen’s challenges are always quite that….a challenge. LOL
Today we have to make a masculine card with non-masculine stamps. I feel like I cheated a little. I did use a flower set, but I used the Fern on Petal Prints….that is easily turned into a masculine card….at least I think so.
I made the card with the Joy fold layout! I love that fold.
I started with watercolor paper. I stamped the saying and the outline fern in Brown Palette ink. Next I spritzed the paper with my water spray bottle and stamped the solid fern in mellow moss. I sponged the edges of my mellow moss piece, stamped fern on the inside in mellow moss and layered my watercolor image on top of it.
The card base is 4 1/4″ x 9″ chocolate chip piece of cardstock, scored at 5 1/2″. On the inside I layered a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of cranberry crisp cardstock. On the card front I added a 3 1/4″ x 4″ piece of patterned paper from the At Home Simply Scrappin’ Kit. I added three brads on the bottom of the main image. I took a square frame piece from the Antique Brass hodgepodge hardware and cut off the tabs with my metal scissor. Then I stamped the Thanks so much and more ferns on a small piece of watercolor paper and glued it with crystal effect into my metal frame. I mounted that on dimensionals and used it to keep the card closed. You will have to bend the bottom edge of the main image a bit to open the card fully.

This is so awesome! I hadn’t seen this yet. I think your card is so very lovely (as always!) Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent with us!
WOW, I LOVE the masculinity of this card because it is definitely NOT boring!! With Father’s Day coming we need some really good examples, just like this one. Thanks for sharing the layout with us…I MUST, MUST, MUST try this.
Before I bought this set, I admired this particular stamp and knew it would be great for masculine cards. It was my favorite stamp in the set and I do use it a lot more than I thought I would, You did a great job.I need to make this card layout. Thanks for the insight and have a great weekend.
Wow! What a great card! Very nice!
Great job on the joy-fold card….and thanks for all the measurements! Very nice!
