Real Tree Cards

Masculine cards have proven to be a bit challenging to create. Mostly, because the images and designer papers are targeted toward women and children. Still, once in a while, I come across a "manly" paper. This one was gifted to me. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Kindness & Compassion

   So Sentimental

Paper:

   Basic White

   Crumb Cake

   Early Espresso

   Garden Green

   Smoky Slate

   Soft Suede

   Real Tree Printed Paper

Ink:

   Garden Green

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Stitched Shapes Framelits

   Stitched So Sweetly Dies

   Dimensionals

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I cut the Real Tree printed paper to see how many 5-1/4 x 4" panels I could get.

I then adhered the panel onto a Basic Black Matte: 5-3/8 x 4-1/8.

Next, I chose the sentiment stamp that I would use on each card. I needed thank you cards, but wanted them to all be different. The sentiments came from the two stamp sets listed above.

I then decided on a die cut or frame for each sentiment.

Next, I chose a color to accent on each card.

I then stamped and die cut the sentiments for each one, and added the panel to a matching card front. The papers I chose are listed above.

I then attached the sentiment to each card, using dimensionals, glue dots, or adhesive. The Natural Linen Ribbon was attached with glue dots.

Lastly, I added a Basic White panel, 5-1/4 x 4, to the inside of each card.
