Forever young centre step card

I do enjoy making centre step cards and thought I'd make a male version for a change.

To create this card I layered the Stampin' Up! Whisper White card base with Marina Mist card stock which had been embossed with the Seaside Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  The edges of the card stock were sponged with Dapper Denim ink.

To create the scenic focal image I used the High Tide stamp set on Whisper White card stock.  I added the Adirondack chair which had been diecut from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits set after having been stamped with the Hardwood woodgrain stamp.  I then trimmed some of the Burlap ribbon, coiled it along the bottom of the card, added a Marina Mist Enamel Shape to the centre of the coil then attached it to the anchor which came from the Guys Greetings stamp set.

High tide birthday card

Birthday cards for male friends and family never go astray and I found it easy to create this scenery card using the Stampin' Up! Hide Tide stamp set.

I started this card with a piece of Stampin' Up! Whisper White card stock and used the High Tide stamp set to create the scene.  The lighthouse is a two step stamp and I used the one colour, Dapper Denim, to stamp the lighthouse base and shadow.  I did need to mask (cover up) the lighthouse when stamping the surrounding water so it didn't ruin the lighthouse image.

I added some Dapper Denim striped designer series paper to the left side of the scene.  I then layered over the striped paper some of the 1.6cm/5/8" Burlap Ribbon and the Happy Birthday sentiment which had been stamped using the Sunburst Sayings stamp set and punched using the 3.2cm/1 1/4" circle punch and layered over Dapper Denim card stock which had been punched using the 3.5cm/1 3/8" circle punch.  The scene was then layered onto some Crumb Cake card stock and adhered to a Dapper Denim card base.
