Argyle Birthday

Usually when I put together cards like this one, I like to make extra die cuts so that I can put a few together instead of just one.  When I do that, I like to mix up the colors and patterns (for example on this one I would mix up the pattern of the shirt and maybe the color of the tie).

The shirt is made with the Well Suited designer series paper and the shirt, tie and suit are die cut with the Suit and Tie Dies.  The sentiment is stamped and die cut with the Many Messages bundle.

I colored the tie in with a Balmy Blue Stampin' Blend and the suit is embossed with the Absolutely Argyle folder.

WELL SUITED DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

Your projects will be the best-dressed when you use the Well Suited Designer Series Paper. Inspired by the shirts and ties in our creative director's closet, this high-quality printed paper includes dapper prints and patterns. This papercrafting staple is great scrapbook paper, card making paper, and more! Ask your demonstrator about coordinating products.

Nothing says sophistication and style quite like argyle! Now you can easily add this timeless pattern to your papercraft projects too. Just use the Absolutely Argyle 3D Embossing Folder along with your favorite color of cardstock (we have all the best to choose from) and you’ll create a beautiful background, full of texture and dimension.

* 1 folder
* 6" x 6-1/4" (15.2 x 15.9 cm)

It’s easy to make a great impression! Just place flat cardstock in this embossing folder, run it through a die-cutting and embossing machine, and out comes cardstock with a bold textured design. 3D embossing folders take embossing to the next level, with deeper, more detailed impressions than standard embossing folders—great for card fronts and accents.

Birthday Ties

The Well Suited Suite is fun to play around with for masculine cards.  I did not use any of the dies in the suite for this one, but stamped random tie images and colored them in with Stampin' Blends.

There is a narrow mat of Night of Navy card stock behind the stamped images and another layer of designer series paper behind that.  The sentiment layer is die cut using the Tasteful Labels dies.

Supplies:

Handsomely Suited

Night of Navy ink

Stampin' Blends

Whisper White, Night of Navy card stock

Suit and Tie

Aren't these cards fun? In the upcoming mini catalog there will be a Handsomely Suited Bundle that will include the Handsomely Suited Stamp Set and Suit and Tie Dies.  I have used both of these on the cards today along with the coordinating Well Suited designer series paper.

Aren't those little buttons on the shirt adorable?  They are part of the die set as well...

The ties were stamped with Basic Gray ink (on the bow tie) and Night of Navy ink (on the neck tie) and colored in with Stampin' Blends markers, then die cut. 

It will be fun to see all the variations that will be made using these dies in the future!

It is a little difficult to see the texture on the cards, but you are going to love the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder too - the texture is really fun to play with.
