Whiskey Business DIY DSP Father's Day Card

Hands up, who else has trouble coming up with masculine cards for the men in your life? 🙋 Well I do and it is always so frustrating so I have decided that for the month of June I will feature masculine themed cards. I hope these cards inspire you and make it a little bit easier for you to make cards to send to your dads, husbands, brothers, brother-in-laws, father-in-laws, sons and grandfathers. You might still be thinking that Father's Day is a way off but we are finally into June which means it really isn't that far away. I created this card using my absolute favourite masculine stamp set. This stamp set has been in the catalogue for a year already but I was so happy to see it carry over.

Supplies

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

1 - 4"x 5 1/4" piece of Kraft cardstock

1 - 3"x 1/2" piece of Basic White cardstock

1 - 3 1/4"x 3/4" piece of  Soft Suede DSP

Whiskey Business stamp set

Soft Suede ink

Baker's Twine or Burlap Twine

Instructions

Take the 8 1/2"x11" sheet of cardstock cut it down to 8 1/2"x5 1/2" and score that at 4 1/4" on the long side.

I then took the piece of Kraft cardstock and with the whiskey glass stamp and the soft suede ink I created my own DSP. I just randomly stamped the whiskey glass making sure to turn my stamp to create some more interest in the background. I stamped starting in the bottom left corner and I worked my way to the top right corner. This helped me to stay methodical in my stamping.

I then took the piece of Basic White and stamped the sentiment in Soft Suede. I also printed out the 'Happy Father's Day' sentiment on cardstock and cut it down to the size I wanted. This is optional and the card would look just as amazing without.

I then adhered the sentiment strip to the DSP and I cut about 6" of twine and just folded it in half adhereing it to the back of the DSP piece with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I then adhered the piece of Kraft cardstock that I stamped on to the f5ront of the card. I then used Stampin' Dimensionals to finish adhereing the DSP and Sentiment piece to the front of the card.

This is such a simple and easy card to create. You could easily change it up for Birthday or Thinking of You. In this case I used the Whiskey Business stamp set but you could do the same thing with the anchor or rope stamps from the Sailing Home stamp set (pg. 51) or the bow tie stamps from the Handsomely Suited stamp set (pg. 50). Another option if your guys are more outdoorsy the lantern or tent stamps from the Campology stamp set (pg.53) would also make a great background.

Happy Paper Crafting!
