Monthly Paper Craft Blog Hop - Masculine Cards

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! This month our theme is masculine cards. Join the hop for inspiring masculine projects.

Each hop participant, talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, has created a paper craft project that will inspire you. If you found your way here from Maureen Rauchfuss's blog, wasn't her project wonderful? Keep hopping for even more inspiring projects!

My project features the Along These Lines stamp set from the new catalog, found on page 95, and a new Online Exclusive stamp set and die bundle, More Messages. Both are very versatile and can be used to create cards for many occasions.

Along These Lines #165352

I stamped the bicycle image from the stamp set on a acrap of Basic White cardstock and fussy cut it out then adhered it to a Spotlight Nature die cut from a scrap of Misty Moonlight cardstock. 

This card was very easy to assemble! I stamped the same image in Misty Moonlight on a piece of Country Lace designer series paper (DSP) and added a greeting die cut from the More Messages stamp set and die bundle, an onlince exclusive. I think this card works well as a masculine card.

The greeting is from a new Online Exclusive stamp set and die bundle, More Messages. It offers many great sentiments and a variety of die shapes. Stamp and cut once and you have a a pile of ready-to-go sentiments. What a time-saver!

Paper Craft Blog Hop - Masculine Card Along These Lines

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! This month our theme is products from Stampin' Up's new 2025-2026 Annual Catalog and new Online Exclusives! Join the hop for inspiring projects showcasing the newest products.

Each hop participant, talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, has created a paper craft project that will inspire you. You may have arrived from Sur Boerner's blog. What a fabulous project she shared!

My project features the Along These Lines stamp set from the new catalog, found on page 95, and a new Online Exclusive stamp set and die bundle, More Messages. Both are very versatile and can be used to create cards for many occasions.

Along These Lines #165352

I was inspired by the card shown on the same page. I changed my card up a little by using a different image and different cardstock from the catalog sample card as I wanted to create a masculine card.

Along These Lines catalog sample, page 95

I used the tiger image from the stamp set to stamp on pieces of Blueberry Bushel and Misty Moonlight cardstock and the Smoky Slate cardstock base in the same color inks. 

This card was very easy to assemble! I added a few pearls from the Basic Gray and Smoky Slate pearls pack. I think this card would work well as a masculine card, perfect for a birthday or Father's Day card.

The greeting is from a new Online Exclusive stamp set and die bundle, More Messages. It offers many great sentiments and a variety of die shapes. Stamp and cut once and you have a a pile of ready-to-go sentiments. What a time-saver!
