Simple Birthday

 I had a few scrap pieces of the the now retired True Gentleman DSP from Stampin Up laying around so I used the Tailored Tag #145667 to punch them out and just placed them on a very vanilla card base.  I added the Happy Birthday sentiment cut from the Happy Birthday Thinlit #143700 and I had a quick and easy birthday card.

Shirt off his back

 I wanted to create a Father’s Day card with perfect style using the popular Pocket Framelit #143750 from Stampin Up.  I textured the shirt using the Simple Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder#145648.  The pocket and collar were cut using the now retired True Gentleman DSP and the sentiment is from the now retired Truly Tailored stamp set.  I added buttons to complete the fashionable Father’s Day card.

Another Dapper Day

 Today’s post is truly a manly card using the now retired True Gentleman DSP and the Truly Tailored stamp set from Stampin Up.  This card is perfect for any pipe lovin kinda guy.

Dapper Day

 With Fathers Day fast approaching I thought I would post some cards from my recent Masculine card workshop featuring the recently retired True Gentleman product suite from Stampin Up.  The background paper is from the  True Gentleman DSP and the sentiment is from the Truly Tailored stamp set.  This is a product suite I wish could have stuck around because it is perfect for masculine cards.

Adulting Birthday

 I have found the Bottles and Bubbles Framelits #145663 to be the perfect masculine birthday card.  I paired the beer bottle with the sentiment from the now retired Truly Tailored stamp set from Stampin Up.  The paper from the  True Gentleman DSP is also retired but was a great fit for a masculine birthday card.

Manly Man card

I finally got around to making a Zfold card for my recent Manly Man work shop that featured the soon to be retired True Gentleman DSP (sold out) and the coordinating Truly Tailored #145735 stamp set from Stampin Up.  The Zfold card was fun to do once I mastered cutting and scoring of the 12×12 cardstock needed to make the card base.  The finished card seemed to be a big hit at the workshop and the masculine cards were a bonus and attendees want me to include an annual masculine workshop in my lineup! I can always oblige when Stampin Up adds a masculine product suite to their line up.

Man’s Shirt Pocket

 Today’s card is a super cute masculine card that can be used for a man’s birthday, graduation, fathers day or any other manly celebration.  I textured the card base with the Simple Stripes #145648 Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I added a pocket and collar using the True Gentleman DSP #145593 and the Pocket Framelits #143750.  I made sure to not adhere the pocket down so it could be used as a pocket to slip a gift card or cash inside.  The pocket tag is stamped using the Pocketful of Sunshine #143719 stamp set.The sentiment label is from the Truly Tailored #145732 that will not be carried over to the new catalog.

 

Classy Kind of Guy

 I always am in need of masculine cards so when Stampin Up introduces a a masculine suite of products I am a sucker and buy the entire line.  Today’s card is an example of the Truly Tailored product suite available in the Stampin Up Occasions catalog.  The background DSP is the True Gentleman DSP #145593.  I added a piece of the Night of Navy 3/8 ” corduroy ribbon #145597 to cover the seam between the 2 pieces of DSP.  The sentiment is from the Truly Tailored #145732 stamp set and punched out using the Tailored Tag #145667 punch.  With products that are designed to work together it makes card making a breeze!

You Rock

 Happy Birthday to my music loving, vinyl collecting better half- Brad! I made this card to celebrate Brad’s birthday.  It features the True Gentleman DSP #145593 from the Stampin Up Occasions Catalog. I cut the letters from the Large Letters #141712 Framelits and made the record using Circle punches.  I added a piece of the 3/8″ Navy Corduroy ribbon #145597 to add the perfect masculine finish.  Happy Birthday and keep on Rockin!

True Gentleman Birthday

 Today’s birthday card is very masculine and features the True Gentleman DSP #145593 and the coordinating Truly Tailored #145732 stamp set from the Stampin Up Occasions catalog.  The True Gentleman Suite also includes the Night of Navy 3/8 ” Corduroy Ribbon and the Tailored Tag punch #145667.  The True Gentleman DSP has inspired me to build my stash of masculine cards to have on hand for the real gentlemen in my life.
