I am always asked to create handmade cards for men so today I will show you how to make masculine cards + I’ve got tips on layering die cuts.
The new ‘Beauty of Friendship’ bundle is full of different tree ‘leaves’ that are so easy to cut from the Designer Series Paper. You’ll be making masculine cards year round with this set.
Stampin’ Up! is all about product coordination and they did not disappoint with the Beauty of Friendship dies and Designer Series Paper. Perfect for masculine cards don’t ya think?!
Handmade Cards for Men + 3-Step Dies
Usually we talk about 2-step of 3-step stamping, but I am going to call these 3-step dies. It’s so easy to make big bold cards that truly make a statement with these dies and paper. I love how these handmade cards for men turned out and I’ll be making cards with this bundle all year long.
The video has all the tips & tricks you need so follow along with me!
How fun are these cards? You could just sit and play with all different color combinations!

Thank you for giving me some ideas for this die. I got it and didn’t know what I could do with this die. You gave me some interesting ideas.
Yay! I’m glad this gave you some ideas. Have fun with this set!
Jackie I received your paper share this week and as always you do such a fantastic job. Thank you for sharing this project with us. I am looking forward to making 60 beautiful cards with these papers.
I LOVE hearing this…have fun making those cards and sharing them with the world!
Wonderful cards. I like things from nature and this set is one I could use often.
Question about the magnetic plates. How many come in a package. That is not made clear on the Stamping site.
Linda, I’m glad you like these cards! I’m not sure which plates you are referring to as I did not use any magnetic plates in this project. I used the base plate and die plate #2 which are sold as a set (item #149657) and then I used the two clear cutting plates which are sold in a pack of 2 plates and that is clearly marked on the Stampin’ Up! site “Replacement Cutting Plates (Plate #3). Use with the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. * 2 plates.
I hope this is helpful to you. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Those are some really impressive cards!
Thanks! It makes me smile knowing you enjoyed these!
