Masculine Birthday Card feat. Catherine Pooler Designs

Hello friends. I don’t often make masculine cards but I thought rather than waiting until I actually need them, I would be proactive and make some ahead of time. Today I am sharing a masculine birthday card using the Catherine Pooler Designs Feelin’ Fizzy stampset. I love this stampset because it’s got a very 1950s feel which makes it perfect for cards for my dad who from that time period. But the images are also just fun to stamp!!

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base, as well as another piece cut to 4 x 5-1/4″.

I added two pieces of pattern paper from the Catherine Pooler Designs Arnold’s Drive-In Patterned Paper cut to 1-1/2 x 5-1/4″ and 1-1/4 x 5-1/4″. I die cut the bottle from the panel then stamped bubbles from the Catherine Pooler Designs Feelin’ Fizzy stampset with It’s a Girl and It’s A Boy (or Oh Boy!-new formulation) inks and sparkles with Shea Butter Ink.

Next, I assembled the shaker element. I stamped the bottle with Tsukineko Stazon Midi Jet Black Ink onto a piece of acetate before adhering using double-sided tape. I stamped the bottle again with Catherine Pooler Designs Midnight Ink, It’s a Girl and Rockin Red inks onto a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″. I added 3M Foam Tape and clear flat sequins and Queen and Company Clear Diamonds Toppings to the shaker bottle.

The sentiment was stamped onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Catherine Pooler Designs Midnight Ink and die cut with the coordinating dies. The bottle caps were stmaped with Rockin Red ink.

I finished off the card by adding some Milwaukee Sequin Mix.

On the inside of the card I added a piece of pattern paper measuring 1 x 5-1/2″ and another measuring 1-1/8 x 5-1/2″.

Father's Day, Masculine

Quick and Fun Father’s Day Card feat. Feelin’ Fizzy

Hello friends. I’m bringing you another Father’s Day card using the Catherine Pooler Designs Feelin’ Fizzy stampset. It’s a really cute and fun set. Also having two step stamps for the bottles is a time saver!

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 10 x 7″ and scored at 5″ to create a card base, a piece of Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock to 4-3/4 x 6-3/4, another piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 4-1/2 x 6-1/2″, and a piece of Catherine Pooler Designs Arnold’s Drive-In Patterned Paper to 1-3/4 x 6-1/2″.

For the background panel, I stamped the bubbles from Catherine Pooler Designs Feelin’ Fizzy stampset with Cummerbund Ink and the sparkles with Tiara Ink. For the bottles I used Catherine Pooler Designs Midnight Ink for the outlines and Rockin Red/It’s a Girl and Limoncello/Tiara Inks for the liquid.

I die cut the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Father’s Day Line Border and stamped the sentiment and bottle cap from the CPD Feelin’ Fizzy stampset with Midnight Ink.

I finished off the card by adding some Milwaukee Sequin Mix.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock to 1 x 6-3/4″ as well as a piece of the same pattern paper to 1 x 6″.

Emboss Resist, Father's Day, Masculine

Emboss Resist Background Father’s Day Card feat. Catherine Pooler Feelin’ Fizzy

Hello friends. Father’s Day is in a few weeks and today I’m sharing a masculine card that was so much fun to make and didn’t actually take too long. The most time consuming part of this card is the heat embossing. And as you can see mine didn’t come out perfect but I left it so you can see that things don’t always work out how we want and that’s ok!

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base, as well as a piece of Strathmore 300 Series Bristol Paper, cut to 4 x 5-1/4″.

For the background, I stamped the bubbles and the bottle caps from the Catherine Pooler Designs Feelin’ Fizzy stampset with Versamark Ink and then heat embossed using WOW OPAQUE BRIGHT WHITE Embossing Powder. Then inked it with Catherine Pooler Designs Pebble, Hoodie, and Cummerbund Inks.

I stamped the bottle images onto some Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Catherine Pooler Designs Midnight Ink using the Catherine Pooler Designs Feelin’ Fizzy stampset for the outline and It’s a Girl and Party Dress; Melon Ice and Lime Rickey; and Fiesta Blue and Something Borrowed Inks for the liquid.

I stamped the sentiment from Feelin’ Fizzy stampset onto some Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Catherine Pooler Designs Midnight Ink and fussycut it out. I stamped the “Happy Father’s Day” sentiment onto some Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock with Versamark Ink and then heat embossed using WOW OPAQUE BRIGHT WHITE Embossing Powder. I cut it down to 1/2 x 3-1/4″.

Before adhering anything onto the background panel, I added Ranger GLOSSY ACCENTS to the bubbles. 

I finished off the card by adding some Key Lime Nuvo Jewel Drops.

I left the inside of the card blank.
