Grassy Grove, Masculine Birthday, Sympathy or Father's Day Card, Stampin' Up!

When I saw this card on Pinterest, I wanted to make it. I had not played with the "Grassy Gove" bundle in a while. It's such a beautiful set and in a few minutes you can have a beautiful card. I found the original card here. 

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Old Olive card stock. I cut two 4" x 5-1/4" pieces of Basic White card stock. One for the front and one for the inside. I taped one on the inside. And the other I die cut the forest scene using the die from the "Grove Dies" package. 

I took a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "New Horizons" 6" x 6" stack and I cut it at 3-7/8" x 5-1/8".  I turned the white piece over and I used my Mono glue to affix the DSP to the card stock. I could have used a sticky sheet to make the whole piece a sticker but I forgot about it at the time. The glue worked well. I just ran it all around the outside edge and then put tiny little dots on the areas I thought would stick up. I set it aside to set up for a minute or two.

Then I taped the layers to the front of the card base and that was it.  I didn't add any words because I wasn't sure what I was going to use it for. But it can be used for a masculine birthday, Father's Day, masculine thinking of you, a sympathy card, or even a masculine get well card.  It's such a pretty scene and a SUPER EASY card to make!

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop by and see today's masculine orientated card,

Let's Set Sail, Celebrating You, Father's Day Card, 2022 Stampin' Up! Spring Mini Catalog

I am still on a quest to use as much Designer Series Paper (DSP) as possible but I'm spotting some pretty cards on Pinterest that I'd like to make that have no DSP at all.  Defeats my quest, doesn't it?  LOL  Oh well, I'll try to use up as much as I can, when I can.  SO, today's card uses a sheet from the "New Horizons" 6" x 6" package.  I did find this card on Pinterest. You can see the original card here. 

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. A 4"x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock was cut for the textured layer. I textured it using the "Painted Texture 3D" embossing folder. I didn't have the same folder that was used on the original card so I just used what I had. All you need is a neutral texture. And if you don't have any embossing folders, you could crunch the piece up and open it back up or you could just leave it plain.  I glued my textured piece to the card base.

I cut the DSP at 4-1/4" x 3" and the Misty Moonlight card stock was cut at 4-1/2" x 3-/4".  

The words are from the "Celebrating You" set. I was looking for words of sympathy but I didn't have any that would fit in that area that were current. I could have used retired but I figured I could easily make this into a Father's Day card using the words from that set. I stamped them using black Memento ink. 

The birds are from the "Let's Set Sail" set and were stamped using black Memento ink. I taped the DSP to the Misty Moonlight piece. Dimensionals were added to the back and they were set in place on top of textured piece and the card was done.

This is a very quick and easy card to make. I may see about making a sympathy card using retired words. I don't have very many in my stash.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Father's Day card,

Celebrating You, Grassy Grove, Father's Day Card, 2022 Stampin' Up! Spring Mini Catalog

What I really like about this "Grassy Grove" set is that it's a perfect masculine set. It's great to use for a masculine birthday, Father's Day, get well, thinking of you, and even a sympathy card. My set was still sitting out (no surprise there, right?  LOL) so I thought I'd make another card with this set. It's super easy and quick too!

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. The layer on top of it is a 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Pale Papaya card stock. You could make the card base a half-sheet of the Pale Papaya card stock if you want. I didn't because I was trying to save on my colored card stock. 

I took a piece of Basic Black card stock and cut it to 4" x 5-1/4".  I die cut the tree image using the die from the "Grove" die set that came with my "Grassy Gove" bundle. Then I cut a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "New Horizons" 6" x 6" stack.  I cut it just a hair shy of the 4" x 5-1/4" size the Basic Black die cut piece is.   

Then I took some Basic Black card stock that I had sitting around with the double sided sticky sheet on it and die cut the two deers in the "Grove" set. 

I set the die cut tree piece on top of the DSP to see where I needed to stamp the grass from the "Grassy Grove" set. I used black Memento ink to stamp the grass in two places.  

Next I set the DSP down and put the Basic Black die cut tree on top to see where I wanted the deers to go. I removed the backing on the deers and set them in place. Then I glued the die cut tree image to the DSP. That piece was then glued or taped to the Pale Papaya piece. And then that was affixed to the card base. 

The words are from the "Celebrating You" set and were stamped on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock using black Memento ink. I die cut them with the die from the "Ornate Frames" die set. I took my blending brush and brushed the edges with Pale Papaya ink. I set the piece in place with Dimensionals and the card was done.

I think it turned out well. I LOVE the background. It's like a pretty sunset. I can seem making more of these for a masculine birthday, thinking of you and get well. They are quick, easy, and fun to make too.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop by and see today's masculine card,

Grassy Grove, Many Messages, Thank You Card, 2022 Stampin' Up! Spring Mini Catalog

I found today's card on Pinterest. I was looking for a sample card using the "Grassy Grove" set. I wanted to keep it simple and quick. Plus I wanted to use some Designer Series Paper (DSP). I found the card here. 

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. This card opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Soft Succulent card stock for the layer.

A 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Evening Evergreen card stock was cut for the layer the trees were cut from. 

The trees are die cut using the "Grove" dies. 

A piece of DSP from the "New Horizons" 6" x 6" stack was cut just under 3-7/8" x 5-1/8".  I glued around the edges of the Evening Evergreen piece and set it on top of the DSP. I got mine a bit off and trimmed it with my scissors.  I added Dimensionals behind it and set it on top of the Soft Succulent piece. 

The words are from the same "Grassy Grove" set and were stamped on a scrap piece of Evening Evergreen using Versa Mark. Then heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I die cut them using the "Message" dies from the "Many Messages" bundle. There's a lot of fun dies in that set. It's fun because the words are all on one stamp and the dies are all on one piece of metal. So you can cut 20 words at one time. I only cut the one I needed. I was glad those words fit into that space because I really liked the ribbon look. I glued the word piece to a 2-1/16" x 1-1/16" piece of gold foil card stock. Dimensionals were added to the back of it and it was set in place on the front of the card.

I added a few gold "Metallic Pearls" to the front of the card and the card was done.

I want to play with this set some more. There's a LOT of DSP in that stack and there's some fun deers in the die set.  This would make a great Father's Day card, Masculine Sympathy card or Masculine get well card. Another versatile set!  I think I'll try another card without the DSP for those of you who didn't purchase the "New Horizons" package.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop by and see todays' masculine card,

Let's Set Sail, Catch You Later, Masculine Birthday Card, 2022 Stampin' Up! Spring Mini Catalog

I thought I would bring out the "Let's Set Sail" set again and make a masculine birthday card. Here's what I came up with. Oh, and it was exactly what was in my head when I was thinking about how to make it!  Once in a while things work out! LOL

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. This card opens at the bottom and the fold is at the top.

I cut two pieces of Real Red card stock measuring 2-1/2" x 3-5/8" for the back layers.

A 3-5/8" x 4-7/8" piece of Basic White card stock was cut and then textured with the "Painted Texture" embossing folder. I glued the Real Red pieces to the upper left and lower right corners of this piece of card stock and I set it aside to dry.

I die cut the second largest circle from the "Layering Circles" dies using Basic White card stock. I used my blending brush and scrubbed in some Soft Sea Foam at the bottom. Then I added some Mossy Meadow. I wanted a greener looking ocean because I needed a blue sky. I used Pacific Point ink for the sky and I also moved a bit of that color into the sea too. 

The sail boat was stamped using Basic Gray ink for the boat and Pacific Point for the sails. I punched them out using the "Sailboat Builder" punch. I set the pieces on the circle so I could see where to place the birds. I stamped the birds using Basic Gray ink. Then the boat was set in place on the circle using glue. I added the sails using Dimensionals. 

Next I punched out the largest scalloped circle using Real Red card stock. I taped the Basic White circle to the scalloped circle. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set aside. I wanted to make sure I had room for the words.

The words are from the "Catch You Later" set and were stamped using Basic Gray ink on a piece of Basic White card stock that measured 1/2" x 1-7/8".  I cut a 5/8" x 2" piece of Real Red card stock for the layer. I taped the two pieces together and then glued them to the bottom right side of the card.

Then the large circle was set in place on the textured piece. This was then glued to the card base and the card was done.

This card could be made into a masculine get well card, thinking of you card, and even a sympathy card.

Thank you SO very much for stopping by to see today's masculine birthday card,
