Time for the next bi-weekly challenge at Allsorts. Ellie has chosen for men
or boys as the theme or you can use anything goes. I am looking forward to
some masculine inspiration!
I recently heard about two garage sales of all stamping supplies so
have a lot of new things to play with this year! This set is from
Fun Stampers Journey and is Journey Birthday 2017-I simply cut the 2017
off of the stamp. I stamped it in brown on some patterned paper, restamped
with Versmark, ink and embossed with clear embossing powder,
I trimmed my layers with a Tim Holtz die stacked deckle, embossed my
card front with a Darice Striped background embossing folder.
I decided to make one more masculine card while I had this stamp set
on my table, this one is embossed in gold and die cut with a
Stampin Up stitched die set. Edges are darkened with navy blue ink.
fabulous inspiration and join for a chance to win!

The masculine direction of both designs is so well handled, each one leaning into texture and finish in its own way. The brown version has a great mix of warmth and structure with the striped embossing and deckle edges, and the layered stamping gives the sentiment real presence. The gold‑embossed version feels crisp and polished, and the navy‑inked edges add just enough depth to frame it without overpowering the simplicity. A strong pair of cards that show how versatile one stamp set can be.
A very useful stamp and it looks good in both designs but the blue and gold is stunning.
These are both just FABULOUS! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Can You Handle the Pressure & Double D 10th Birthday Celebration challenges! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

Great card for any guy, love those rectangular dies you used! Thanks for sharing with us at Can You Handle the Pressure.
Ideal for male Birthdays Donna, looks good in both colourways, although a bit more drawn to the first.

Those sound like such great garage sales, it's been so long since I found stamps at one, I do occasionally find them at Goodwill but not often.
This is a really fun find and I am loving both versions of the card. Enjoy your new goodies!
What a great stamp with so many possibilities! Love the masculine version you created while the gold one is very striking as well.
Love your card. Looks like you got some great finds at the garage sale!
Thanks for joining our challenge at Cut It Up.

Great use of your new stamps. Very versatile and useful stamps from the garage sale. Love these 2 cards xxx
Two great cards, Donna. They look so different by changing the colour scheme.

Two fabulous cards, very different looks from one stamp x
What a find! Both are fabulous but you can't beat woodgrain and brown for a masculine card IMO - love the deckled edges on the frames too and the texture of the embossing folder! Hugs, Kate!
Great cards, love secondhand supplies! The stamp works so well on that woodgrain. Thanks for joining us at Retro Rubber this time. Claire RR DT
