Masculine Tools – Cards for Men

By on April 23, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have some masculine cards, with tools and all! I have three ideas for you using the April 2020 Hedgehog Hollow Kit.

Today I’m using some fun techniques in my video: like the ink pad direct to paper technique to create the fun silvery background.

Metallic silver ink pad creates a stunning background

I’m also sharing my FAVORITE way to adhere vellum without seeing any of that adhesive. And an embossing folder to create a peg board look.

Mixed Tape, Anyone?

By on April 9, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello, I have a fun card today using products from the April 2020 Hedgehog Hollow Kit. Ok, it’s time to admit it: do you remember when mixed tapes were a thing? I think I may still even have a mixed tape or two back from the 80s and 90s! Yep, I’m throwing it way back with this one!

This kit is filled with masculine stamps, so I tried to keep the colors on the more masculine side. I stenciled on that background using Distress inks. I used the lightest color blue first, then shifted the stencil and inked on the darker blue.

I only used a handful of Copics for coloring this one…greens and blues and yellows, with some cool grays for the label.

Then I fussy cut the tape and the “rad heart” out. I added the cassette tape with two layers of foam tape. The notes and the heart are adhered straight to the card with liquid adhesive.

A simple card, but so much fun!

So now I’m going to find the mixed cassette tapes I still own and listen to them! I’ll bet the sound quality is terrible…maybe it’s time to let them go? Lol. See you next time with more card inspiration!
