Hello again and welcome back! Today I've got a trio of masculine golf cards. Where I live in Canada, we are right beside the Rocky Mountains and the Forest Trip paper collection by Paper Rose Studio looks just like the area around me. My husband and four sons all like to go golfing in the mountains, so these cards were just meant to be! Here's a look at the cards I made ...
Paper Rose Studio supplies used: Forest Trip 12x12 Paper Collection 26629, Golfing Set Metal Cutting Die 16924, All Occasions Sentiments A5 12pc Sentiment Sheets 22339 , Celebrate Layered Metal Cutting Die 17454
For the first and second cards, I chose sections of the 12 x 12" paper that I wanted to use, and trimmed them down to be 5 x 7" each. I used a little Distress Oxide ink in Mowed Lawn to shade the bottom area in green. I die cut from white cardstock, about nine of the golfer images. I stacked three layers of the golfers for each card. On the middle card, I used Copic markers to colour in the golfer image.
For the first card, I attached the mountain scenery paper to the front of a 5 x 7" card base. Then I trimmed the right hand edge of the card front by 1/2". I attached one of the decorative strips that come on all the Paper Rose Studio papers to the inside of the card along the right hand edge. I had added a little Distress Oxide ink in Peacock Feathers to the strip before attaching it. Then I glued the stacked layers of the golfer and his golf ball in place. I apologize to any golfers out there if the golf ball is not in the right spot! Finally, I mounted the sentiment strip on foam tape and adhered it above the golfer.
For the second card, after inking up the bottom in green, I trimmed my panel down to be just under 5 x 7" and mounted it to a 5 x 7" card base. I adhered the golfer and his golf ball on the front, and then just added the sentiment underneath him, again on foam tape.
For the third card, I used more of the paper strips on the bottoms of the Forest Trip papers. I laid them in a random pattern on a scrap piece of white cardstock and glued them in place. Then I trimmed off the side edges and used these to go across the top and bottom of my collage. This card measures 5 1/2 x 6", so its a bit of an unusual size. I attached the Forest Trip paper to the top of my card front and then added my collage piece at the bottom. I glued the golfer in place on the right. The Celebrate die was cut three times from white cardstock and glued together. Finally, I glued it in place to the left of the golfer.
So that was three fairly quick and easy masculine cards, and I'm thrilled to have them in my stash now. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you're having a happy, creative day!
