FIVE SIMPLE BIRTHDAY CARDS FOR MEN WITH SIZZIX GEOMETRIC MASK THINLIT DIES

Hello my dear lovely crafters, how are you?

Today I have not one or two but five cards to share with you all. These are all the Simple Birthday Cards for men in our lives. Be it your father or your brother or your husband or your boy friend or just anybody, these cards would be absolutely perfect for them. I really kept it simple as I don't want to add any bling or embellish it with any shine as this would be for men ;) I used Sizzix Geometric Mask Thinlit Die to make my cards.

CARD DETAILS

I started by simply selecting the card stock colors for my cards. I have already planned the card designs a couple of days ago so it was easy for me to execute the design.

This Geometric Mask thinlit die set contains five thinlits. I ran each thinlit die with the selected card stock through the BigShot Plus Machine.

By the way I used Sizzix Card Stock as my panels. Once my die-cuts are ready, I adhered them over the card front with Tacky Glue.

I felt something was missing in this card so I hand drew a couple of lines with the black permanent marker.

This card is already looking like a cupcake, right? Oh yeah! You can use those die-cuts as clouds as well. :)

And this one is my favourite among all. The background was created by running the dotted thinlit die through BigShot Machine several times.

Once I adhered all the panels, I added splatters of black ink to some cards and I didn't add the splatters for the rest.

Once the splatters dry, I stamped and foam mounted the Birthday Sentiments to the cards.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN | SIZZIX

Hello and welcome back! I usually don't celebrate Halloween and it's not my thing at all but I like making cards with Halloween stuff like stamps, dies, stencils and etc.. You can check my previous post about Happy Ghosts Card HERE. I got this crazy idea, the ghost coming out from the pumpkin, as soon as I saw the Bigz Happy Halloween Die by Sizzix. I made this card several weeks ago and hadn't got  a chance to publish it as our house was filled with guests. Hence here is the card for you, I hope you like it :)

CARD DETAILS

The Sizzix card stock is highly textured and rich in look, I picked a few colors that are very close this season i'e., blue, green and orange. I ran the die through the Bigshot Plus Machine.

I distressed the edges of the background with Chipped Sapphire and Vintage Photo, pumpkin with Vintage Photo and the ghost with Black Soot and Vintage Photo Distress inks. I ran one of the dies from Geometric Mask Set through SideKick Machine with Black Card Stock. That would become the base for the Pumpkin.

I adhered all the elements and created a scene as if the ghost is coming out from the Pumpkin. Also adhered a sentiment strip on top of the card.

To add more depth and to add beauty to the card, I added clear star sequins. Do you like it?

Thanks for stopping by. See you soon :)
