CREATE 3 LEVELS OF DIMENSION! 🌲🏕️ 6×6 Pop Up Adventure Card | #EasyMasculineMakes

Happy Monday!

I hope you have an amazing day!

Welcome to another project in #EasyMasculineMakes! 💙

Today I'm creating a 6×6 inch Adventure Pop Up Card using the FREE background papers and fussy-cut elements that I created especially for this project. The information is in the video description. 

This card has a lovely vintage masculine colour palette and an adventurous camping theme, with a forest, tent and campfire creating a beautiful scene inside the card. 🌲⛺🔥

But there are a couple of techniques in this project that I particularly wanted to share with you!

✨ No matching cardstock? No problem!

I'll show you how you can add colour to your cardstock when you don't have a sheet that matches your project perfectly.

And inside the card, I'll show you how to create THREE LEVELS OF POP-UP DIMENSION, then build the scene by adding layers of fussy-cut forest trees, a tent and a campfire.

The result is a little 3D adventure scene that comes to life when the card is opened! 🌲🏕️✨

Postcard from Paradise! | Easy Postage Stamp Shaped Card | Mintay Papers Week 20

Happy Saturday!

I hope you have a fabulous day!

Welcome back to another project for the Mintay Papers Challenge!

Today I'm sharing my project for Week 20 – Postcard from... and this one is a super quick 5-minute cardmaking tutorial! 📮🌊

For this challenge, I decided to create a card in the shape of a postage stamp using an SVG file from Creative Fabrica.

The card is a top-folding design and fits perfectly into a 5x7 inch envelope, making it practical as well as fun to create.

For the decoration, I used the beautiful 'Riviera Moments' collection from Mintay Papers, including a coloured chipboard piece with a sentiment from the collection.

But I couldn't resist adding one more little detail! 😊

I created another stamp-shaped element featuring a boat from the 'Riviera Moments' collection and placed it in the top-right corner of the card so it looks just like a real postage stamp. 🚢

I love how these little details help turn an ordinary card into a fun postcard-inspired handmade card.

And because this tutorial is only around 5 minutes long, it's a quick and easy project that you can recreate and adapt to your own favourite paper collection.

I hope this project inspires you to look at postage stamps, postcards and everyday objects in a completely different way when creating your handmade cards!

Where would your handmade postcard be from? 🌊✈️

Happy crafting!

✨ A Floating 18th Birthday Card! | Elegant Floating Fancy Fold | Mintay Papers Week 19

Happy Tuesday!

Welcome back to another project for the Mintay Papers Challenge!

Today I'm sharing my project for Week 19 – Floating... and this one is extra special because I created it as an 18th birthday card for a very special girl! 💕🎂

For this challenge, I created a 7×7 inch Floating Fancy Fold Card featuring a beautiful oval floating element, which I created using nesting cutting dies.

For the papers and decoration, I used the gorgeous 'Cottage Heart' collection from Mintay Papers and added gold cardstock to create elegant frames around the layers.

Because this card was made especially for an 18th birthday, I wanted to make it truly personal.

✨ I created the recipient's name in gold cardstock using an alphabet cutting die set.

✨ I used my Cricut Maker 3 to create the large number 18.

✨ I also fussy cut elements from the 'Cottage Heart' collection and used them to embellish the card.

✨ Finally, I added gold pearls to the corners for a little extra elegance and sparkle.

I love how the floating mechanism gives the card a beautiful dimensional effect while still allowing it to fold flat.

18 is the beginning of a whole new chapter, so I wanted the card to feel just as special as the occasion.

If you enjoy Mintay Papers, fancy fold cards, floating cards, personalised handmade cards, shaped elements, fussy cutting and cardmaking tutorials, I hope this project inspires you to create your own version.

What would you put on a special 18th birthday card? ✨

Happy crafting! ✂️💕

10 MINUTE MASCULINE CARD! 🔥 Create Your Own Background | #EasyMasculineMakes

Happy Monday!

I hope you have a fabulous day!

Today I'm sharing another super quick masculine card, and this one takes around 10 minutes to make! ⏰

For this project I created a 4×8 inch card and decided to make my own background from scratch rather than using patterned paper.

I used layered stencils from ScrapKate together with Distress Oxide inks to create a unique masculine background. 🎨

Then I added some fantastic fussy-cut elements from the “Men's World” collection by Scrap Boys and finished the card with a sentiment from my FREE Printable Sentiment Library. ✂️💙

This project is part of our #EasyMasculineMakes collaboration, together with:

✨ Crafting with Quilling Lady

✨ Monika – PaperMona

✨ Katarina

Our goal is to show that masculine cards don't have to be complicated or take hours to make!

Sometimes all you need is a little cardstock, some ink, a stencil, a few fussy-cut elements… and 10 minutes! 😍

I hope this project gives you some inspiration for your next card for a man, whether it's for a birthday, Father's Day, a friend, husband, brother or simply someone special.

If you create your own version, I'd LOVE to see it! 💙

Happy crafting! ✂️🎨💙
