Here’s my Men’s Clothes card:
When I sat down to work on this card, I realized the only men’s clothes products I have are the Playing in the Rain characters, Therefore, I needed to think outside of the box, especially since I wanted to keep the card relatively simple. I googled men’s clothes templates and found one for the pocket and tie I used for this card. I traced the template for the pocket and two tie pieces onto DSP and trimmed each piece.
Measurements & Assembly:
- The Night of Navy base measures 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches
- I trimmed a piece of the Nature’s Lace DSP (Designer Series Paper) to 4-18/ by 5-3/8 inches
- I used small pieces of two other Nature’s Lace patterns for the tie and pocket
- Then, I trimmed another piece of 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
- Punch a 1-inch circle of DSP and run it through a XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
- The final piece for the pocket trim comes from the 6 x 6 inch DSP for 2023 – 2025 In Color DSP
- Trim a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock to 5-1/4 by 4 inches for the inside of the card
- Unless otherwise stated, I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere pieces together
- Adhere the Nature’s Lace DSP to the base
- After snipping the pocket, I used the Night of Navy Stamping Write marker to add faux stitching along the border of the pocket
- Then I outlined the the pocket with the Night of Navy marker
- Outline the InColor DSP using a Boho Blue marker and adhere to the top of the pocket
- After snipping the tie, I used a ruler and added stripes to both pieces for some dimension
- I stamped the sentiment, from last year’s May Paper Pumpkin, in Night of Navy directly on the pocket
- I adhered the tie to the back of the pocket, then added dimensionals to the back of the pocket and adhered it to the Nature’s Lace DSP
- Easy Peasy, at least once I found a simple template
- With that, I’d completed this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set
Thank you for stopping by today!
Have a Peachy Day!
