It's time for MFT's monthly Creative Challenge, and this month's theme is
Make it Masculine! The
MFT Blog has a complete list of participating designers, so stop by to see who's on deck. I've come up with a couple of fun 'guy' cards to share with you, so let's get started!
First up is a fun surfer-dude birthday card using the new
Die-namics Palm Tree,
High-Rise Alphabet Lowercase,
Sea Charms and stamps from
Hello My Name Is. I stamped the name tag in white pigment ink onto my
Black Licorice card base and then added a layer of corrugated 'beach sand' using the
Snow Drifts Die-namics.
The bottom of each of the
Blu Raspberry letters in 'dude' was die cut into the sand layer and then accented with an
Orange Fizz surf board from the Die-namics
Sea Charms set. The
Steel Blue Palm Tree is tucked behind the sandy beach, and holding it all together is a double string of
Hemp Cord, knotted several times to resemble one of those hemp bracelets that all the cool surfer dudes wear around their wrist or ankle, wink!
The inside of the card is finished off with a
Die-namics Speech Bubble in
Steel Blue, stamped with sentiments from
Hello My Name Is and
Playlist. I die cut another
Speech Bubble in
Blu Raspberry , tore off a smidge of the lower edge, dragged the torn edge across my white pigment ink pad to resemble foamy ocean waves and accented it with
Hemp Cord and another
Orange Fizz surf board.
It's Your Birthday, Dude!
I had a lot of fun making this card which started with only the strip where you see 'it's hammer TIME', until I started singing MC Hammer's
U Can't Touch This over and over in my head until it dawned on me (duh) to add some of the sentiments from
Playlist and
Rock On. Another one of those
ah-ha moments where these
MFT stamps work so well together to make a fun card even funnier!
The main sentiment strip was made using the new
Max Alphabet in
Steel Blue ink with a
Black Licorice hammer from
Die-namics Tool Charms. The word
IT'S is a partial sentiment from
Playlist. Each of the sentiments above and below the
Steel Blue strip is stamped in watermark ink.
Inside is another
Steel Blue strip stamped with sentiments from
Playlist and single star from
Rock On.
It's Hammer Time
