I have not had a chance to play with my "Hardwood" stamp. I did use one at a Stamp-a-Stack and it was there that I probably felt I needed to own the image. I did have trouble getting a good image off it. I think I need to use soap on the stamp, it seems to have an oily base to it because my ink kept beading up on it. I was not going to redo the image so I ran with the one I got. Actually it was the second one I got. The first one is on the backside of this one! I cut that piece to 4" x 5-1/4".
I found a piece of decorative paper that was already "ribbon" cut and sponged. What a find, huh? LOL And I added an embossed Marina Mist circle to the top of it.
I took out my "Petite Pair" set and stamped the words. I punched them out with the 1-1/4" circle punch and then used the 1-3/8" circle punch for a border. I set that piece in place using Dimensionals. I added 3 Marina Mist "Candy Dots" to the circle. I wrapped some linen thread around the panel and taped the ends on the backside. Then I took a piece of Marina Mist decorative paper that was folded in half and punched it using the little banner punch. I made sure the fold butted up against the flat end of the punch so I could have a long piece of punched paper. Though I did keep it folded in half. I added glue to the inside and "hung" it over the thread and held it in place for a few seconds so the glue would set up enough to let go of it. I added an Early Espresso "Candy Dot" to the center of that piece.
I layered the decorated panel on a half sheet of Crumb Cake card stock and that was it. A very quick and simple masculine card to make.
I got my inspiration for this card from a card I found on Split Coast Stampers. You can see that card by clicking here.
Thank you SO much for visiting today,
