I need cards for men! ie. NO FLOWERS!

 Good afternoon. y'all. Hope everyone is doing well. I had hoped to have this out earlier this morning, but life took over. I am trying to help grandkids with virtual school and keep the stamping thing going at the same time. Time is a crunch at the moment. I recently did a card for one of my hostess clubs using this set and I love it! It was a fun fold and fun to make! I hope you like it also. I think manly cards are a little more difficult to come up with sometimes. The new suite Well Suited is perfect for the men in your life! 

For this card, you will need:

Handsomely Suited (154444)

Suit and Tie Dies (154322)

Well Suited Designer Series Paper (154562)

Basic Gray Cardstock (121044)

Basic White Cardstock (159276)

Magneta Madness Inkpad (153117)

Light Smokey Slate Blends (154904)

Card Measurements

Cardbase is 4.25" x 5.5"

Basic Gray flap is 2.75" x 10.5" scored at 5.25"

DSP is 4 x 5.25"; 2.5" x 5.25"

(2) pieces Basic White 2.5" x 5.25"

scraps for die cut tie and collar

Dimensionals for collar.

Center the back of the flap piece on the cardbase and glue down with a .25" border at the top and bottom. Place the DSP covering the flap and cardbase.

Stamp the saying on the inside in Basic Gray ink. Adhere making sure it is centered behind the front flap.

Cut the v shape from the dies set in the smaller piece of DSP. Attach this piece to the front Basic white layer, then adhere to front flap .25" from the top,even with your bottom layer of DSP.

Cut collar fron Basic white scrape. Stamp tie in Magenta Madness and lightly brush with the Light Smokey Slate Blend.  Cut with the tie die.

Attach the collar with dimenionals and adhere the tie with adhesive to the middle of the front flap to look like a shirt with tie. Done! Isn't this card cute and it could be used for so many different occasions. With 3 brothers in law, 3 grandsons, a son and son in law, I think this set is a keeper for me. I'm thinking of all kinds of other ideas for this set. If you liked this post, please leave a comment and let me know you were here. Thanks,have a great day and I'll be back on Friday with more inspiration. Be blessed,
