All About You

Hey everybody! A very Happy Monday to you! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a super easy masculine card! I found a version of this on Pinterest and it could be tailored to any occasion and made in any color combo. Masculine cards are a stash ‘must-have’ so I created this in Lessebo Sunflower Yellow, Navy Blue and White along with Bright Silver Foil. The Lessebo line has quickly won my heart and I find I’m reaching for it alot!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Lessebo White cardstock along with wide strips from Lessebo White and Sunflower Yellow. I used Lessebo Navy Blue and Bright Silver Foil cardstock for the front layering panels, and ran the silver panel through the Big Shot in the Darice Diamond Plate Pattern embossing folder.

Using the Spellbinders Standard Circles, I cut thin rings from Sunflower Yellow and Navy Blue and adhered them beneath the horizontal strip, and then attached the strip to the front panels with two screw brads that I believe are from The Funkie Junkie Boutique. I’ve had them for a very long time and they are not in the original package so I’m guessing. Finally, I stamped the sentiment from the Prickley Pear Stamps Kokopelli-Happy Birthday stamp set in Catherine Pooler Juniper Mist ink.

I embellished the inside panel with leftover strips of Bright Silver Foil and Lessebo Sunflower Yellow, Navy Blue and White. I stamped another sentiment from the Kokopelli-Happy Birthday stamp set in blue ink and layered the panel on Navy Blue.
