Masculine Cards Part II
June 11, 2025
In this class we will make this card and at least one card with Majestic Mountain Stencils. I’ll show other cards and explain how they were made.
Supplies: (Use whatever colors you wish.)
A2 Top opening card base
A2 Gray panel (Rock Collection)
Houseplants Layered Die Set
Masonry Wall 3D Embossing folder
Rock Collection Cardstock
Pocket Full of Sunshine Cardstock and ink for blending (Die Cut 3 small flowers and 5 starfish shaped centers). Small flower has two pieces.
Dried Petals Cardstock and ink for blending (Die cut 2 large flowers) Large flower has 3 pieces.
Green Meadows Cardstock and ink for blending
Vanilla Cream Cardstock to die cut 4 pot dies two times
Brushed Silver Cardstock (Die cut 2 hangers)
Mocha Fresh Dye Ink and Micro Blending Brush
Shimmer Release Paste (Smoky Quartz)
Sentiment from CYL Wings and Petals
Clear Embossing Paste and Silver Embossing Powder for sentiment
Pocket Full of Sunshine Enamel Dots for flower center
Homework: It would save a lot of class time if you would die cut the foliage before class. I used Sweet Leaf and Minty Mink Cardstock. There are 3 foliage dies. Each needs to be die cut twice from both colors of green cardstock.
Supplies: Use whatever supplies you have. The following are what I used on this card.
Majestic Mountain Layering Stencils
Breezy Quest Dies
Cloud Scene Building Stencil
A2 panel of light blue cardstock
Antique Silver Shimmer Relief Paste and spatula
A2 card base top folding.
Enchanted Garden Family of Fresh Dye Inks
Blending Brushes
Sticky Mat
Glitter Cardstock and regular cardstock for die cutting Hot Air Balloon
My sentiment from Spectacular Adventures is heat embossed with clear embossing ink and Silver Embossing Powder
For the clouds you could used White Cloud Permanent Ink, A light or medium blue ink or Pearl Shimmer Embossing Paste.
This is another option with the Majestic Mountain Stencil using Cute Camper Die Set instead of Breezy Quest. The family is Glacier Caves for both cardstock and ink blending with Gentleman’s Gray cardstock and Antique Silver Relief Paste.
And one more . . . the last one, I promise. Majestic Mountain and Cloud Stencils, Travel Boots. Sentiment from Label Love.
These two cards will probably take most of our 90 minutes. I have photos below of some optional cars. We tend to think of Altenew’s fabulous flowers. It is remarkable how many Altenew products can be used for masculine cards.
Hannelie Bester posted a card using Archways Die Set and these colors. That green just called to me. The card is simple, art deco and the quickest card I’ve made in a very long time. I went with the Bold Greetings set for the sentiment because the font just seemed right for the design. It belongs in Palm Springs, one of our favorite places to visit
My husband knows how much I love coffee. So this is a supreme compliment.
Two minis were used for this card; Cup of Coffee stamp and die and Coffee Beans. The sentiment is from Coffee Love.
Wooden Rowboat is a fabulous die cut. I used rough waters instead From Land to Sea embossing folder. It could be used in more calm waters with the sentiment “Sending you waves of tranquility” from Tranquil Greetings. This is a sample of the beautiful new Shimmer Relief Paste colors. The sentiment is from Stencil Art, Strong Oak Add-0n.

This is a $5.00 Payment for the June Workshop.
I will be taking a summer break from my Second Wednesday Workshops. Please put it back on your calendar for October 8th. At that time I will begin teaching Craft a Flower Workshops every 2nd Wednesday. We will revisit older CAF sets and and create with newer ones. Each month we’ll make at least two cards with these fabulous die cut flowers and I’ll provide lots of ideas for more cards.
Let me know if there are CAF sets you would like to learn more about. There are so many beautiful sets in our stash that are just calling for more attention.
