Happy WOYWW dear friends! This week, I thought I’d step outside of my girly comfort zone and create a card and envelope that’s fit for your favorite outdoorsman! You can easily create something similar using the products you have on hand! Enjoy the photos and the challenges!
Collage Card
Choose five stamps in a coordinating theme as the basis for your collage. Use colors that convey your mood – I chose vintage inks that conveyed my masculine, sea-faring theme. Use sponges to lightly dab and blend the background colors together.
Scenic Envelope
I created the envelope from a standard legal size #10 envelope, folded over to custom fit the card.
A cut-out of one of the stamped images serves as the envelope’s seal!

Your card is lovely and how nice to do a matching envelope, the recipient will know straight away that it is not a bill – how cool is that. Happy WOYWW, Anne #9
You remind me I really need to be thinking about father’s day cards 🙂 Fab envelope too. I often stamp on packages I send off to DS at Uni. Makes a nice little surprise for him and confuses the mailman, especially when it’s the Stampotique creepy people!
Happy WOYWW

Love that card and envelope! But then I’m ‘into’ the nautical side of things, especially those old tall ships and Galleons!
Thanks for sharing,

I’m particularly in love with the back of your envelope — how fun to have that decorated to match the card. Happy WOYWW from Laura #117
Great male card – don’t know why so many crafters avoid them myself. BJ#52

Love Love the envelopes – totally cool!
Beautiful work, love the colours and the theme, and the matching envelope. After I’ve made a card, I usually run out of steam before I get to make a matching envelope lol!
I’ve just made a man-card for my hubby – on the theme of Metal Detecting – details on my blog!
Happy WOYWW,

Gorgeous cards… why I’d say beautiful but we shall stick with Handsome! Happy WOYWW! Warmly, Tracy #88
Definitely not girly! I love sea-themed things so I am quite partial to your card and matching envelope. I like how you break down how to do collage so it isn’t intimidating. Happy WOYWW to you! #164
