Howdy, Stampers! Sharing with you today the card we made at my table at Sassy Stampers Stamp Camp this past Saturday. It's a husband-approved masculine birthday card (no bling and no ribbon).

5. Stamp inside sentiment on 5-1/8" x 3-7/8" white card stock. Adhere to inside of card.
6. Adhere 4-7/8" x 3/8" strip of DSP near bottom of white card stock as shown.
NOTE: The Pretty Prints DSP comes with 12 double-sided sheets of 12" x 12" paper with three different designs -- one each of Bermuda Bay, Blackberry Bliss, Calypso Coral and Evening Evergreen. Since the theme for this month's stamp camp cards was "masculine cards," I opted to not use the Calypso Coral and instead used the Sun Prints DSP, which has all the same designs, but in Starry Sky. Stampers were able to select from among the four colors.
* Pretty Prints Bermuda Bay DSP, Shaded Spruce card stock, Mint Macaron ink
* Sun Prints DSP, Starry Sky card stock, Starry Sky ink, stamped off once (see note below)
* Bermuda Bay (listed above)
* Pretty Prints Evening Evergreen DSP, Evening Evergreen card stock, Evening Evergreen ink, stamped off once
NOTE: Stamping off means that after you apply ink to your stamp, you stamp the image on a piece of scrap paper first, and then stamp the image on your card stock, creating a lighter image of the same color. Both Starry Sky and Evening Evergreen are very dark colors, and the black "birthday" stamp wouldn't have shown up very well if the "HAPPY" image had been stamped full force. Shaded Spruce and Blackberry Bliss are also very dark colors, but as it happens, Mint Macaron is a lighter color that corresponds well with Shaded Spruce, and Rich Razzleberry is a lighter shade that corresponds well with Blackberry Bliss, so I didn't stamp off those colors.
I hope you enjoy this manly, no bling/no ribbon card. Of course, you also could bling it up to create a more feminine look.
Happy Stamping!
Cathy ;D
I love those four cards cathy
