Are you loving all the Sale-a-bration products? I go back and forth with which one is my favorite. I pick one a day! Nothing wrong with that, right? I created another card with the So Very Much Stamp Set and the Avant Garden that I received amazing feedback from, I knew it was time to make another card! But first, thank you so much for all the comments, feedback and support. Over 13 years of creating and I am ALWAYS inspired by the people I share this craft with. Keep telling me what you like or want to see or anything!!! I love suggestions!
Often I am asked to make masculine cards and I think this fits! I love how large the thank you is in this stamp. Since I love to layer my cards, it is challenging to design around it because of it’s size. In this case, I knew if I kept the card horizontal I would be just fine with fitting the words. I embossed the Thank You with Clear Embossing Powder and used Stampin’ Up! sponges to create the background. I love Night of Navy. I am such a blue girl…always have been. I picked Mint Macaroon and Tip Top Taupe to finish my color combination. Although the clear embossing powder clings to part of the card, it gives it a little imperfection look. Handmade cards are allowed to have imperfections because the person who is creating it is HUMAN not a machine. 🙂 I embossed the card with the Lucky Star folder for more texture and added the bow. (This may not fit the “masculine” part but I love ribbon! ♥ )

Love this card but have a question – you said you used clear EP for the Thank You, but then you said something about the white EP clinging to part of the card. Where did you use white EP? I want to CASE this card for sure! Also, I am new to your site – do you ever do videos?
HI! Thank you so much!! I used CLEAR embossing powder. It was a typo (that I have now corrected 🙂 ) when I wrote white. I tend to use clear more often than white I do this effect. I feel the clear is more “glossy.” It can be done with white as well. Go right ahead and CASE, I’m flattered 🙂 I just started my site in December 2016 and I am slowing gaining speed. There are a few videos on here and I am hoping to do more! Just ordered a new tripod for my phone that I am going will be easier to create video and looking into other video options. Good luck with the card, hope it comes out great!
