Spellbinders | 1 Die Set – 3 Ways. Love You Cards for Guys!

Cards for guys are always hard to make, however this task becomes a lot easier if you pick a theme. Today I wanted to share 3 ways you can use Spellbinders’ Camping dies to create fun and unique camping-theme cards for men! You’ll also need to find suitable sentiments to go with these – be sure to dig through your stamp stash as I am sure you’ll find some great messages!

I used messages like “I’m Wild About You” from Hero Arts Animal Messages stamp set and “Be Brave, Be Mine, All Mine” from Altenew You Are and Avery Elle Favorite Person sets.

CARDS DETAILS

My first project, Wild About You, features repeat negative die cutting technique (check out this video tutorial or this one to see this technique in action).

I die cut small and large trees repeatedly in a dark green cardstock panel and foam mounted my background onto kraft cardstock.

I wrapped vellum around the panel and created my focal point – a tent with some additional trees (I used those positive die cuts I had left from creating my background) and a lantern.

My second project, Be Brave – Be Mine, All Mine, features a recessed die cut circle panel and a little scene. I also added a die cut moon and stars to fill the sky above my tent

.

Finally my last project, Love You – Let’s Hang Out is very simple. I added a die cut tent and several trees as well as a few lanterns. Notice the detail on the lanterns – I used Nuvo drops in Morning Dew to create those.

I had a blast making these cards – I love when I can reuse one die set in a number of ways and create a bunch of similar but slightly different projects.
