Stamping With Friends Blog Hop - Masculine Cards

Saturday, 21 February 2026

Time for a Stamping With Friends Blog Hop! The theme for this blog hop is Masculine cards!

I always find masculine cards hard to make, but the Gears & Textures Bundle from the Stampin' Up!® Jan to Apr Catalogue is perfect! I made this collage card that is perfect for any occasion!

I love the colour combination of Lost Lagoon and Early Espresso and the pop of the metallics textured papers.

Cut Crumb Cake 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Blend Crumb Cake ink onto Crumb Cake cardstock using a Blending Brush.
