Good Morning Everyone
Happy Saturday!
Today I'm taking part in the InpsireINK blog hop and our theme for September is Masculine!
I don't know about you, but I always find a masculine project more difficult than other themes. I'm not sure why but I do find it take me a lot longer to come up with these ideas than most of my other projects.
That being said, Stampin Up have a whole host of products that can help you create wonderful masculine projects, and you will see a selection today from the other talented creators who are taking part in this hop.
I have used the Bottled Happiness Stamp Set and coordinating punch, but there's not a flower in sight! Instead I decided to create a Wine themed Card - I will be using this as a Birthday Card - But the sentiment isn't occasion specific so you could actually use this for a few reasons.
Measurements
Merry Merlot Card Stock
1pc - 8 1/4" x 5 7/8", scored at 4 1/8"
Scraps
Mossy Meadow Card Stock

------------------------------------------------
Take the Merry Merlot Card Stock and Fold along the score line to create your card base, adding one of the Basic White Pieces to the inside of the card.
On scraps of Merry Merlot stamp two wine Bottles in Merry Merlot ink and three Bottles in Mossy Meadow ink onto the same coloured card. Cut these out using the Vintage bottle punch or trim with your snips.
Stamp the label image five times onto scraps of basic white, adding the 'Wine Not' sentiment into the centre in Early Espresso ink. Fussy cut all these out and add one to each bottle with a bit of liquid glue.
Line these up on your remaining piece of Basic white to get an idea of placement for the cork. Stamp the cork onto the basic white with crumb cake ink, so that it will look like the cork is in the bottles. I did mine by eye, and it's not perfect, but it's OK, i'm happy with it - you could measure to get it exact if you would prefer.
Add this panel to the card front
Pop dimensionals onto the back of the bottles and add to the card.
On a thin scrap of Basic White stamp the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink trim and add an angled edge to each side. Taking a scrap piece of each Mossy Meadow and Merlot, add these behind the sentiment so that the join roughly in the centre. Once dry trim down to add a thin border all around and angle the edges, just as the basic white is.
Add this to the top of the card front with dimensionals.
I hope you have enjoyed my card today, please take a look at the list below and continue through the hop for lots more Masculine Inspiration.
