Hello friends!
Today I want to share several Father’s Day cards. I know for many crafters masculine cards can be tough to make, but really they’re even simpler than any other type of card. The cards I’m sharing today featuring products from Papertrey Ink, but these designs can be replicated not having those products on hand.
GEOMENTRICAL DESIGN
For my first card I used the Border Bling: Diamonds Die Set to create the card background. This set has fun geometrical elements, but similar design can be done by using cardstock squares cut with a trimmer.
The rhombus borders I made out of a frame from the same set, by trimming long side of it to create the borders.
One thing that I think is always a good idea on a masculine card is a plain shirt button. Let’s face it – we all have SO MANY of those in our stash. I didn’t stitch the button to the card. Instead added some thread to a button which I then glued to the card using a glue dot.
For the sentiment I used the Just Sentiments: Father’s Day Stamp Set. This mini set has a lot of quite versatile sentiments for this occasion.
FLORAL STAMPS FOR MILITARY BACKGROUND
The background of this card is made using floral layers from the Floral Delicacies Stamp Set. Which is obviously a floral stamp set. Bu many layered floral stamp sets can be stretched by using their layers separately to create a background.
I was going for a kinda military one, stamping two types of “dotty” layers all over a white panel in blue. Then I blended blue ink on top.
White frame and sentiment toned down a bit the background boldness. And two shirt buttons added a bit more to a masculine look.
SHIRT POCKET
A shirt pocket design is probably one of the most used for a Father’s Day cards. It’s even a bit of a cliché. But it’s good sometimes to make a cliche card anyways.
To make the “fabric” I used the Nifty Plaid Background Stamp, which I stamped onto a light blue cardstock using two shades of blue. Of course any patterned paper can be used as a replacement.
The pocket was made using the In Stitches: Back Pocket Die Set (similar form can be made just using a trimmer).
The “handkerchief” I made by cutting several triangle piece using my trimmer.
A simple sentiment and a couple of buttons finished off the card.
I hope you like my ideas for simple masculine cards I shared today.
Have a wonderful day!
