Here's a masculine Christmas card for those who like the great outdoors and hunting. I cut a Kaisercraft stag die in white and placed it on top of a printed plaid design, cutting the Wasabi card base and image panel with Lil Inker stitched rectangles. The sentiment is a peel-off sticker, and the 3 golden embellishments are Geo Sparkler stickers. Quick and easy but great for those men in your life.
I decided to make another one by inlaying the stag image instead of placing it on top...
This was done with a Smoky Slate card base and a red plaid design, adding silver Geo Sparklers along with a silver sentiment placed a bit lower on the plaid panel. When you inlay a die this way, you end up with a plaid stag image, so I made a matching tag to go along with the card...
I used a scalloped top tag punch by SU! for this, rounding the bottom corners with another punch. I'll add ribbon when it's time to use this set, and I have some beautiful grey chevron ribbon that will look great. For now, it stores nicely without the ribbon.
I'm sharing the first card with
Thanks for stopping by and have yourself a great weekend!

Wow those papers are awesome!! What a perfect way to use them too with this deer die cut! I love the you've added some sparkle and bling to them even though they're masculine, they still look perfect for the theme! Nicely done! HUGS
Beautiful cards and the tag is stunning with the contrast white/plaid! a great use of leftover, you are so clever as always!
Super design - love the plaid background. Very clever idea to use the plaid stag for the tag. xx
Great masculine Christmas cards, Carol! That first plaid looks like it is made from flannel fabric! Love these!! Hugs, Darnell
