Masculine Card Using The Monkey Die From ECD and Case This Sketch 328

Hi Everyone,
Do you struggle with masculine cards? I know I do. Well to be honest I gravitate towards flowers, bling and feminine colors which makes it hard to turn that into a masculine card. Using the Monkey die from Elizabeth Craft Designs and the Doodlebug Design 6x6 Kraft in Color - Kraft paper I was able to get out of my comfort zone. I topped that off with a Case This Sketch which is a Challenge blog for Clean and Simple cards. Below you will find the steps to create your own card.

Case This Sketch 328


Step 1 - Trim White Cardstock to 8 1/2", score at 4 1/4" and fold in half for a vertical side fold card. (A2 size)

Step 2 - Trim Patterned Paper to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. Trim Patterned Paper to 3 5/8" x 5 1/2" and adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Step 3 - Stamp Safari Sentiments on front of card using Versafine Onyx Black Ink.

Step 4 - Apply Distress Oxide Ink on White Cardstock. I used Walnut Stain, Antique Linen and Scattered Straw. Diecut Monkey using the correct colors. I used the Walnut Stain for the main body pieces, Antique Linen for all the detail and the Scattered Straw for the bananas. Assemble the Monkey using Fine Tweezers and Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. Adhere the monkey and bananas to card using Foam Tape.




It's a pretty simple card to put together and can be used for a girl by changing the colors. Unfortunately the Doodlebug Design 6x6 Kraft in Color - Kraft paper is no longer available so I linked to papers that are a good substitution. Below is a link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day.
