Hey everybody, happy Wednesday! The weeks sure seem to be rolling around pretty quickly these days. I’m up on the Love From Lizi blog today with a tutorial for making a masculine ‘love you just because’ card with a slanted flap. I sure do love me some fun folds and next in line come the fancy cuts which really make a statement! I used paper, stamps, ephemera, pin stripe peel-offs and sequins – all from our ‘For Him’ May release – and I love how it turned out. This release is packed full of wonderful products to get your masculine project mojo going! And our team is having an IG Hop to celebrate this awesome release, so be sure to visit the Love From Lizi Instagram page to hop with us and get in on the chance to win a $30CAD gift card to shop on the site!
I used CutCardStock Basis 110# Natural cardstock for the card base and cut off the front flap at an angle, saving the piece that was cut off. Next, I cut the front layering panel from Basis 80# Natural cardstock, angled the bottom edge, and did a little mixed media work on it. I used Memento Rich Cocoa and Espresso Truffle dye inks, Ranger Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Spritz (sprayed and splattered) along with hand stamping using stamps from the Summer Botany Stamp Set. I used Ranger Walnut Stain Distress Ink around the edges which I had also distressed with the Tim Holtz Distress Tool.
I lightly distressed the inside of the card base also (using the same products sans the stamping) and inked the outside edges with Walnut Stain distress ink. I adhered the leftover piece cut off the front flap along with a patterned paper layer cut from a striped paper in the A Spot of Autumn 6×6 Paper Pack. I adhered a couple pieces of Vintage Escapes Ephemera, then added a couple Brown Mirror Pinstripe Peel-Off Stickers and several sequins from the For Him Sequin Mix to the card front. I stamped a sentiment from the same Summer Botany Stamp Set in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and tore it on all four sides. I lightly inked the edges and popped it up on thin 3D foam squares.
I embellished the inside with a 1/2″ x 4-1/8″ strip of the patterned paper which I distressed with the Walnut Stain distress ink, and then stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set in Rich Cocoa ink. For more details, be sure to visit the Love From Lizi blog to see my tutorial. ;)
