Whiskey Business Birthday Card

I struggle to make masculine themed cards but we all need them so I have to push through my creative short comings to put create these cards. But the moment I saw the Well Suited DSP in the mini catalogue I knew I was going to be okay. I was also very pleased to find out that the Whiskey Business stamp set was going to carry over into the new Catalogue.

Supplies

1 - 8 1/2"x 11" sheet of Kraft cardstock

1 - 5 1/4"x 4" piece of Well Suited DSP

1 - 3"x 1 3/4" piece of Basic White cardstock

Scrap Basic White cardstock

Soft Suede ink

Whiskey Business stamp set

Instructions

Take the 8 1/2"x11" sheet of Kraft cardstock cut it down to 8 1/2"x5 1/2" and scored that at 4 1/4" on the long side. I adhered the piece of DSP to the front of the card right away.

I then took my scrap piece of Basic White cardstock and in Soft Suede ink I stamped the decanter and whiskey glass from the Whiskey Business stamp set. My scrap was big enough to stamp both on it. I then took my paper snips and fussy cut the images out.

I then took the 3"x 1 3/4" piece of Basic White cardstock and stamped the Birthday sentiment in the center of the cardstock in Soft Suede ink.

I adhered the sentiment to the right side of the card slightly above the half way point on the DSP. I then adhered the decanter image to the card front. I wanted to give some dimension to the card so I used a Stampin' Dimensional to adhered the whiskey glass to the card. I felt that it would help to give the illusion that the whiskey glass was further forward than the decanter.

Step It Up

One way to step up your card would be to color the decanter and the whiskey glass with a Stampin' Blend to give them a more authentic look.

I really love the Whiskey Business stamp set and while it is designed to be a masculine stamp set you can use it to make feminine cards, and I can't wait to show you how in the upcoming weeks. If you're waiting for the new catalogue before you place an order, I encourage you to tack it onto that order. To order it today you can head over here to do so.

I absolutely adore this paper pack. I think I am going to have to order another pack or two... If you make any masculine cards I think this an amazing set of paper. I have also loved using it for more than just masculine cards. I think it's a really versatile pack of paper. To grab a pack head over here.
