OSAT Blog Hop - Masculine Card

Welcome to this month’s One Stamp At a Time (OSAT) Blog Hop!  I am very excited to be asked to join in the blog hop.  Excited, but nervous!  This month's theme is masculine cards.  We each have to design a card and project for posting.  This month I have used one of the new in colors from the 2015-2016 Stampin' Up catalog - Tip Top Taupe.  The card is titled "Traveling Man".

I used the Tip Top Taupe for the card base and to cover the pocket journal.  The World Map stamp was used for the background of both items.  The stamping was Tip Top Taupe ink on Very Vanilla paper.  I lightly stamped the World Stamp image behind the Train image by stamping off first.  The card was accented with metal buttons and twine.  The sentiment was from the B.Y.O.P. stamp set.  The metal mini brads and square punch helped to finish the "Happy Birthday" banner.

When thinking about the project portion of this challenge, I wanted to create something that I thought men in my life might use.  This pocket journal was created by using a miniature composition book purchased at the local Dollar General store (3/$1).  I covered the outside in the Tip Top Taupe and layered the images.  I added a couple of mini metal brads, used dimensionals to "pop" the image and added the natural twine to help keep the journal closed.

I hope you are enjoying the blog hop, whether you started with me or if you just popped over from Maggie Mata's blog.  Everyone always has such wonderful projects to share, I always enjoy getting inspiration from others.  Be sure to check out the other blogs listed below.  You can click the icon below to visit Tina Riddle's blog or click each individual's blog listed.  Happy Stampin'!
