Quick simple Masculine card

Quick simple Masculine card. May’s Tech 4 Stampers blog hop is to make a masculine card. Generally speaking when you’re making cards for men you pare back the frilly stuff and stick to fairly bold neutral colours. I tend to avoid pinks and/or peachy tones.

I am using the Beautiful Gallery 6″x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) DSP from the Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection on pages 52-57 of the new May 25 – April 26 Annual Catalogue and also the new More Messages Bundle from May 2025 Online Exclusives.

More Messages Bundle

This is a single cling stamp with multiple messages to suit different occasions. Its coordinating die is designed so that it will fit over the messages and you can die cut the different messages in a variety of shapes with just one pass through the die cutting machine. What a time saver!

The benefits of this is you ink once, die cut once! You can keep the die cut labels in an envelop. Store it together with the stamp so that it is to hand whenever you need a label.

The Build & Bloom Stampers Blog hop (formerly Tech 4 Stampers)is a monthly subscription group run by Louise Sims. She mentors and enables members to understand IT jargon and equips them with a fountain of Technical knowledge to build or manage their own websites. It takes the mystery out of “tech” and I’ve certainly grown in confidence thanks to her expertise, patience and guidance. Not only that, I’ve met and made new friends with my fellow “Techs” and love the camaraderie within the group.
