Recently, I was in need of a fast, yet handmade, masculine card.  This oak tree card came together FAST and turned out pretty cute, if I do say so myself.

handmade masculine card made using Stampin' Up! Lovely As A Tree

I used a very vanilla card base and the “Lovely as a Tree” stamp set with Early Espresso ink.  The layers are done using the framelits with Early Espresso and Very Vanilla cardstock.

I used a satin ribbon and wrapped it around the front of the card and tied it in a bow on the front of the card.  I made a slit in the fold of the card to push the ribbon through.

I think if you give it a try, you will find out it’s super easy and can be adapted to multiple stamp sets and color combinations.

Stampingly yours,


Lisa
