Par-tay! Masculine Card w/Kara

February is a very special month. It's my first nephew's birthday. I can't believe his is turning 23! I have had so much fun over the years making boy cards with cute little animals and balloons, but now need something a bit cooler and more grown up, but still fun!

I started with a white card panel and positioned masks in the center that I created using the Whimsy Alphabet Dies. On top of the masks I did my stamping using the Ink Splats stamp set. I chose Lake House, Bo Peep, Falling For Blue and Nautical Navy Dye Ink.

I removed the masks and gave the ink a little time to dry before stamping the sentiment. I used Strictly Sentiments 5 to create a custom sentiment by pairing two stamps from the set.

Once all of my stamping was done I felt his name, Ryan, didn't stand out enough. ; I decided to use the same Whimsy Alphabet Dies to die cut the letters from the stamped panel. I backed the panel with black cardstock and popped the letters up back in position. This way the sentiment matches up perfectly and the name is more prominent.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Masculine cards can be so difficult especially to a person like me who loves to create with flowers! But with a few simple stamp sets like Ink Splats and Strictly Sentiments 5, it's quick and easy!
