Teri’s Mailbox: Manly Cards

Hello! It's Today I am posting for The Funkie Junkie Boutique. Today I am sharing how I morphed an 8.5 x 11 inch Masterboard into four masculine cards!

I always need manly cards and this was a great way to create multiple cards!

As always I have a video HERE. I'd love to count you as a subbie friend on my channel.

Start by creating a background using Stormy Skies, Faded Jeans and Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Inks. Apply randomly to an 8.5 x 11 inch piece of Heavyweight Cardstock.

Add a few splatters using Fade Jeans Spray Stain.

I had a lot of fun using multiple Stampers Anonymous stamps for this project.

I found that Oxide Inks worked much better for this technique.

Too much fun going from the inked board to this using multiple sets! I will share deets for each of the four quarters! I did lightly draw a pencil line to identify where the A2 cuts would be made prior to stamping the images.

I am sure you recognize The Inspector. All of the images were stamped with Archival Inks. Barn Door Archival Ink was perfect for the cent sign and the tickets.

You'll have to check out the video to see how I improved this one. I originally embossed the sentiment on the card but decided that it didn't stand out enough so I used my Deckle Edge Trimmer to create a Vellum banner and embossed the sentiment to add to the top! Tim's small stapler was perfect to attach the banner.

I always love the Ideology paper dolls with dogs. This was the perfect image for this card front! The sentiment is heat embossed. I also used texture paste and Stencils to add the gears on the left side.

And finally we have the children....

I thought these children looked formal and make a great addition to this card. The Wander label adds just the right touch!
