who are Hoppin’ with creative paper crafting ideas to share with you. Today we are showcasing Masculine Cards.
I just love the Peaceful Cabin stamp set. I have to admit, I was a little hesitant to purchase it at first. I just did not realize the versatility of it. But Whoa! I saw a couple of samples and I got hooked. Of course, I did not invent the fancy fold of this card nor was the idea of using it for other than a Christmas/Winter card, but I do love how mine turned out. I was inspired by a couple of You Tube videos. (Create with Christi and Cheri’s cards). I changed up the colours and added some “shrubs”.There are some other really great ideas for the stamp set on You Tube.
The fold used here is called Corner flap card. ( I think LOL) I stamped the cabin with Memento Ink on Crumb Cake cardstock and colored the roof with Cinnamin Cider Blends. I touched up the middle of the roof areas with the white blending brush. I then applied Pear Pizzaz ink with a blending brush on the area that is meant to be snow. To add a bit of depth, I tapped on some Evening Evergreen on the grey areas. I then die-cut the cabin with the matching die.
I cut out 4 clouds to use as masks and placed them on a piece of white cardstock (4 x 2-3/4). (I have to admit, the placement of the clouds is copied exactly like Christi’s.) Why re-invent the wheel, right? I created the sky by brushing on some Balmy Blue with my blending brush, leaving some white. When I removed the masks, I added a tiny bit of blue so the clouds would not look so white (another tip Christi shared).
I stamped the trees on my new favorite coloured cardstock and ink, Evening Evergreen, cut them out with the matching dies and glued them behind the cabin and glued the cabin and trees to the the cardstock with the sky. I glued it all to a Crumb Cake mat.
For the fold of the card, I aligned a piece of 4-1/4 x 11 Crumb Cake in the paper cutter with the 11 inch side at the top, at 8 inches and cut. The piece that I cut off was used to create the mat for the cabin scene. I then scored the carton at 5-1/2.
A piece of DSP (2-1/4 x 4) was glued to the outer panel of the card and a piece of 4 x 5-1/4 to the inside of the card.
A piece of 2 x 2 DSP was cut in two diagonally and adhered the the corner of the vanilla cardstock, adding glue only to the top and side of the triangle. The focal point (cabin) can be tucked under the triangle.
Add some linen thread around the panel and some Copper embellishments and voila, a cute masculine card.
I really wanted to show that the Peaceful Cabin stamp set can be used all year round.

The cabin looks SUMMERY when colored and the corner tuck is a cool detail…this is totally a card a guy would love.
I love how you gave this cabin a whole new look. Very natural and rustic! Great idea for a masculine card!
Wow that looks like a painting! Nice job!
I’ve never seen this fold before but I really like it and your cabin is beautiful.
Very masculine theme and a lovely card!
Great masculine card! And a fun fold too! Who doesn’t love a fun fold?? Love all the details you put into it. Thanks for the inspiration.
Stunning card design. I love the way you have captured the feeling of a cabin in the woods. Love the woodgrain texture for the background.
