The Good Life Card

HI All! Today I am sharing a manly card I made. I figure I can always use more manly cards in my card stash.

For the card base I used a kraft card and envelope set I got from Hobby Lobby.

All of the other paper I got from JoAnns.

The jute twine I got from the Dollar Tree (best find ever! 3 rolls for $1).

The orange-ish gems I got from Close to my Heart www.foodstampsandmore.blogspot.com (my CTMH rep.)

The stamp is from a stamp set from Close to my Heart.

To begin I used a wood grain embossing folder from Stampin' UP! to emboss the card base.

I then cut a pendant from brown card stock and inked the edges in brown ink.

I cut a piece of patterned paper and inked the edges in brown ink.

I stamped the image in the same brown ink and layered it with brown card stock and inked all of the edges.

I inked the orange-ish paper too.

I stamped the sentiment in brown ink and inked the edges and stuck it down with 3D foam.

I finished the card off by adding some orange-ish gems and a knot of jute twine.

I think this card turned out pretty manly! And it could be used for just about any occasion.

Happy crafting!
