AECP:: For the Guys

Masculine cards have always been tough to make. But wow, the For the Guys online card class that I completed as part of the  Altenew Educator Certification Program was absolutely amazing. I cannot wait to incorporate ALL the techniques shown during the class in future cards. I highly, highly recommend this class if you struggle with creating cards for guys! My favorite techniques were reintroducing (to me!) how to create a galaxy background and the Warhol design style. Although I didn't use any of those techniques on this card today, I was able to learn how the details really make a simple card shine, like using a green/blue color palette and dry embossing with dies. Also, the class really made sentiments shine (i.e. incorporating puns!)


Unfortunately, I do not own many masculine stamp sets, and none of my beloved Altenew sets are of a masculine theme, so I played off a sentiment from the Sentiment Strips Stamp Set. I dry embossed a rectangle onto a white card front, then die cut a rectangle frame from dark green paper. I covered the frame with a bit of gold paint, then added a wood veneer heart to the card as well. I finished the card with a gold heat embossed sentiment from Sentiment Strips. The card is simple, but still holds a lot of detail!
