Thank you deer

Good morning!  Alicia here today.  I have been in need of some new masculine cards, so I pulled out some nice masculine papers and started cutting.  I made several panels with Frantic Stamper Stitched Corner cut tags, my new favorite die set.  I began with an A2 piece of printed paper and made my cuts in the center so I could use the negatives.  I love a die that gives you two usable pieces.  Since the stitching is on both sides this die provides a wonderful frame.  I used the frame from the largest die to begin my card.  I popped it up to add dimension.  I kept the cut for another card and layered more cuts with the same set inside.




I then selected papers for my decorative die.  Unfortunately, this set is sold out but there are so many deer dies in the store...here's the closest to the one I used:  Frantic Stamper Deer Bust.  I have already made a couple of Father's Day cards this year, so I choose to use a simple thank you.  I stamped my sentiment on a banner included in the set.  I inked all the edges and my woodsy masculine card is complete!

  4. I love the warm textures and comforting feel of the masculine papers you've combined in this card. The die is indeed a fabulous one! It's a very cool masculine card. I'm just not sure of the age of your stamp, which we like to know at Retro Rubber. Perhaps you could let us know? Thanks so much for joining us for our Anything Goes challenge.
