Hi Stampers!
I needed to create a more masculine Fall
Birthday card and the FM25 Sketch It Square and Manly Friday MashUp Challenge was a
perfect one to motivate me to do so! If
you have the time and haven’t visited with them yet this week, they have some great
ideas for masculine cards using this
sketch:-)

Since I had my embossing gun out for a previous card, I decided to use
heat embossing on this card as well along with the colors from the previous Splitcoast CC339 Challenge(Always So Crazed)- love this combination for fall cards!
To create this card:
Use the Big Shot™ and emboss a piece of Always
Artichoke with the Herringbone and Stripes Textured Impressions™ Embossing
Folders (I embossed two separate pieces).
Layer onto So Saffon cardstock and adhere the satin ribbon to hide the
pieced edge.
Use the Big Shot™ with the 3 ½” Circle
Originals™ Die to cut a circle from Very Vanilla cardstock. De-static the cardstock with the Embossing
Buddy® , stamp the deer image and leaves from the tree around the edge of the circle
with Versamark™ ink, apply the Stampin’ Emboss® Gold Powder and emboss with the
Heat Tool.
Follow the same steps as above for the individual
larger leaves from French Foliage. Carefully cut around the
embossing and adhere to the edge of the stamped circle image. Attach the brad and mount the focal image
onto the card front.
Adhere the sentiment (I kept this simple so
it would not compete with the embossed image) and layer the entire card front
onto Cajun Craze and again onto So Saffron.
