Feathered Valentines Day Card For Men

As an Independent Stampin Up! UK demonstrator we get to play with all sorts of fun products, including some lovely Pink and Red Valentines papers.  Which is lovely if you are in to making Pink and Red Valentines day cards, but what to do for the man in your life that isn’t overly girly… whilst still being a little bit romantic and slushy.  Well that’s the joy of having so many coordinating inks and papers and ribbons – we have something for everyone, and I came up with this card, (Mr Craftyhallett Look away now)….

I used the fabulous Irresistibly Yours Designer Paper which is free at the moment, when you spend £45 or more on an order.  I inked it up with Sahara Sand ink, and it resists it beautifully.  A quick wipe with a tissue, and then a few splats of gold ink using the old favourite Gorgeous Grunge stamp set completed the base layer which I stitched using the sewing machine to a mat of Chocolate Chip.  The sahara sand  lace is so pretty I gathered it up under a layer of Soft Sky Satin Seam Binding, and then did a bit of fancy stitching with the sewing machine.  The Doillie also got some of the gorgeous grunge treatment.

The little bird is stamped on Sahara Sand and coloured using my blendabilities.  He is from the An Open Heart stamp set and is so pretty.

Some washi tape feathers were called for – three of them in muted crumb cake and Sahara sand colours tied with a little blue bow.

The sentiment is from the You and Me stamp set.

So there you have it – a valentines card doesn’t have to be pink or red, this is perfect for the men in your life, and just oozes romance and vintage lace

Hope you are having a good day.  And as a reminder we are half way through Saleabration – so if you want to indulge in some crafty purchases and get a free gift or two – check out the deals in my shop
