Stampin Dreams July Blog Hop: Male Card

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


Thank you for visiting my blog, I am really excited to be taking part in another Stampin' Dreams blog hop. It really is great to be hopping with people from around the world. This month the theme is Male Card. Do you struggle with making masculine cards? Most people do. This blog hop is going to give you lots of ideas and inspiration so please make sure you go and hop around and see everyones cards. I can see me having a very crafty weekend getting all my male cards for the rest of the year sorted after this!

I have used Rooted in Nature which I feel lends itself to a masculine card really well. I used this set for the Fathers day card I made for my Father in law and he really liked it. This time I have gone a bit vintage though and teamed it up with Very Versailles and the old World Paper embossing folder.

Measurements and Materials


  • Card base is a standard C6 card size using the Thick Very Vanilla card stock
    • Standard sheet cut in half scored in half
    • Card size 4 1/8" x 5 7/8" UK size
    • If you have different size card stock then it will still work
  • I embossed the card base with the Old World Paper 3D embossing folder
  • I brushed over some ink to give it a vintage look
  • I stamped all the elements in the lovely new in colour Cinnamon Cider
  • I stamped the skeleton leaves from Rooted in Nature and die cut them out
  • I stamped the script stamp and sentiment from Very Versailles 
  • The script was torn and inked and embossed to look like an old piece of manuscript
  • The sentiment was doe cut using the rectangle stitched die from Ornate Layer
