Welcome to another edition of Simple to Stunning Sundays! I am so excited to share another set of projects that starts out simple and builds up to a stunning card!
Here are our cards–they are perfect for any masculine card needs that you may have!
Simple card–so easy:
Gather Your Supplies:
- 1/2 Sheet Old Olive
- 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 Whisper White
- Old Olive, Early Espresso Cardstock
- Rooted in Nature Bundle
- Linen Thread
Stepping it up:
- 1/2 Sheet Old Olive
- 3 1/2 x 4 3/4" Whisper White
- 1 1/4 x 5" Crumb Cake
- Early Espresso Marker
I die cut the tree and popped it up (always great to pop something up on a card! 🙂
I added some Early Espresso marker to the tree trunk before I stamped it down, then die cut it.
I think the Crumb Cake strip for the sentiment is fantastic and adds to the masculine look.
The final stepped up project looks really great with the Wood Texture DSP.
I added some more dimension by adding some Early Espresso marker on more branches to really create depth in the tree. The sentiment on the contrasting DSP is really wonderful, too!
I hope you loved this week's projects! I also hope you'll consider joining our fabulous Facebook Classes for April! They will have an emphasis on Masculine Cards (for all types of occasions).

Hi Dena!!!
I am a semi-demonstrator in Texas and have watched so many of your videos and just wanted to let you know what an amazing and creative demonstrator you are. I look forward to all your videos and the ideas and just absolutely love you. I’m not sure how you felt about another demonstrator watching you, but pray it’s ok. Silvia Pulido
