Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop: Masculine Card - Sailing Home 3D Cube Pop Up Card

Welcome to the monthly Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop.  This month our theme is: Male card (any occasion).

This Sailing Home 3D Cube Pop Up card is a suitable masculine card

I have cheated a little bit with this entry.  I do believe it's a good masculine card, however, I actually made it as a Bon Voyage card for my wonderful Stampin' Up team member and friend, Satomi Wellard who is about to call a yacht in the Mediterranean home for an adventurous new phase in her life!

The closed 3D Cube Card fits into a square envelope

This fabulous fold is called a 3D Cube Pop Up Card and I learned how to do it from this video tutorial by the very talented Jay and Barry at Mitosu Crafts.  Jay also made a special box for the card but, as I was sending it through the mail, I just popped mine into a square envelope.

I hope you've enjoyed the card you've seen here on my blog today.  You are currently visiting Stephanie Fischer.

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Special Guest: Danielle Kassing

Welcome to the Crazy Crafters' Blog Hop with our Special Guest stamper, Danielle Kassing - we are thrilled to have Danielle join us this month and so excited to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) any project that has been created by her.

Whether you are starting the blog hop here at my blog, Stephanie Fischer - The Crafty Thinker, or have come from the person before me, be sure to click on the person listed under me further down the page to continue your journey through the blog hop.

The balanced layout and use of Designer Series Paper really appealed to me in the card of Danielle's that I decided to CASE and I changed very little.

A simple, masculine card using the Tea Room paper and card pack

My base card is made from Thick Very Vanilla cardstock and, for a masculine feel, I've used layers of  Mossy Meadow cardstock.    I also used two cards from the Tea Room Memories & More card pack and a small piece of Tea Room Designer Series Paper.

I cut the leaves with dies from the new Foliage Frame Framelits.  The greeting, stamped onto Very Vanilla card with Mossy Meadow ink, is from the Botanical Bliss stamp set.  I cut it out with one of the dies in the Bunch of Banners Framelits and trimmed off one end.  

To make it look "anchored", I added a Faceted Dot.

I also made one more card that's even more simple, using the same Tea Room paper and card pack.  The greeting is also from the same stamp set.  I fussy cut one of the leaves from an off-cut of Tea Room card and adhered it under the corner of one of the layers.

The Butterfly of Gratitude

Sitting on the windowsill with the light behind it's vellum wings,
the butterfly looks ready to fly off into the garden!

As promised, here's another card that I made whilst challenging myself to be creative with the Striped Scallop thinlet.  This time I spritzed a mixture of reinker and water over the mask that I'd made.

I wanted to make a more masculine thank you card and was pleased with the way it turned out.  Even though I added a butterfly, I think it's a manly butterfly!
