This is Part 5 of a 10 Part Series of Masculine Cards that I have just completed using various stamp sets. I will be posting cards using other stamp sets over the next several days.


Today's post features the Waterfront and Snow Front Stamp Sets from Stampin' Up!.  I often combine the images from these 2 sets on cards I make.  Easy to make some quick and easy cards with these 2 sets.

For this first card I used the Snow Front Stamp Set.
-The bottom mat for this card was cut from Marina Mist CS.
-The top mat was cut from Whisper White CS and lightly sponged using Blending Brushes and Marina Mist Ink.
-I stamped the images using Early Espresso (trees), Soft Suede (deer), Real Red (birds), Memento (snowman), and Marina Mist (swirls) Inks.
-The sentiment is from the Sheltering Tree Stamp Set.
-This card was inspired by on I saw on Pinterest made by Cindy Elam.

This second card also features the Snow Front Stamp Set.
-The bottom mat for this card was cut from  Mossy Meadow CS and embossed using the Subtle Embossing Folder.
-The top mat was cut from Whisper White CS.
- I stamped the images using Early Espresso (trees), Soft Suede (deer), Crumb Cake (mountains), Mossy Meadow and Old Olive (pines and grassy areas).  Then I used Blending Brushes to lightly color the background areas:  Balmy Blue (sky) and Old Olive (grass).
-I used one of  the Stitched Rectangle Dies to trim the top mat to desired size.
-The sentiment is from the Home To Roost stamp set and stamped in Early Espresso Ink.




This third card uses both the Waterfront and Snow Front Stamp Sets.
-The bottom mat was cut from Tranquil Tide CS.
-The top mat was cut from Whisper White CS.
-I stamped the images using Gray Granite and Smoky Slate (Mountain Area-Waterfront & Snow Front), Tranquil Tide (pines-Snow Front-1st and 2nd generation stamping), and Early Espresso (cabin-Snow Front).  Then I used Blending Brushes to lightly color the background with Soft Sky Ink.  
-The sentiment is from the Home To Roost Stamp set and is stamped in Early Espresso Ink.


This last card features the Waterfront Stamp Set.
-The standard bottom mat and the scalloped mat of the oval was cut from Shaded Spruce CS.
-The strip was cut from Forever Greenery DSP.
-The top mat of the oval was cut from Whisper White CS.
-The ovals were cut out using the Layering Ovals Dies.
-The images were stamped using Gray Granite (mountains) and Shaded Spruce (trees) Inks.
-The layered ovals were popped up with Dimensionals.
-The narrow strip at the bottom was cut from Gray Granite CS and wrapped with some dark green Twine.
-The sentiment is from the Home To Roost Stamp Set.
-This card was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest made by Mary Brown.
