Masculine Monday – Plane and Simple again!

Good morning! I have another masculine card to share with you at the beginning of a new week and this one was inspired by the challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays - to make a clean and simple masculine card using kraft card stock.

I love kraft (or Crumb Cake as it's deliciously called in the Stampin' Up world!) and use it quite a lot for both male and female cards. Today I teamed it with Basic Black ink and pewter hardware - come and see:


I stamped some of the images from Plane and Simple over the card front to make a background that reminds me of the brown paper bags you get from those classy gift shops! The edges of the card are sponged with Crumb Cake ink to define the design a little.


The sentiment has been stamped in Poppy Parade ink. I've discovered that this bright, orangey red works brilliantly with kraft card stock - it really pops! (Could this be why it's called Poppy Parade? Hmm. I suspect not!) Do you like the eyelet and twine embellishment? It's easy to set these gorgeous jumbo eyelets with a cropadile. I love the way it turned out and will definitely be using it again.

Supplies needed for this card:
Stamps: Plane and Simple
Ink: Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Poppy Parade
Card stock: Crumb Cake
Other: Jumbo Eyelets, linen thread
You can buy any of these supplies from me and I can have them delivered to your address in the UK. Just send me an email or give me a call on 01280 820593.

I hope you've had a good weekend. We've had our usual action-packed couple of days - I kitted my oldest son out with a whole new wardrobe as he seemed to have woke up one morning at least a foot taller; hacked the garden back so that we could actually get down the path; attended our local car boot sale and heroically managed to prevent my youngest son from impulse-buying everything there...

Thank you for dropping in today. I'll be back tomorrow so do pop back then if you have a minute.

    Love the way you combined all those vintage manly images, Vicky. Great masculine card! Someday I'm going to pop over to visit you, because a "car boot sale" sounds like great fun! :)
