Today I am sharing simple cards for men that make stamping so easy. These handmade greeting cards are made using an older stamp set that was gathering dust on my shelf–the Stampin’ Up! High Tide. With it, I created 4 different cards to share.
You are going to love these SIP cards that make stamping easy. SIP=STAMPS, INK and PAPER. That’s all you need to make gorgeous simple cards that are perfect for sending to a friend.

This ‘High Tide’ stamp set is great because there are a lot of “parts & pieces” that you can put together all different ways. And then….the greetings…..fabulous!!!
Simple Cards for Men | SIP Cards That Make Stamping Easy
Are you ready to learn how to make cards that are creative, handmade, and simple to stamp?! These are what I call SIP cards (Stamps, Ink, & Paper) and I love sharing ideas with you using the SIP method! In no time flat you’ll have these simple cards for men ready to grab any time you want to send a note of encouragement.
Let’s Look at the Simple Cards for Men

You will notice that all 4 cards use the exact same “card recipe.” I just changed the layer under the white to coordinate with the colors I used.

Card Recipe:
- Sahara Sand: 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ OR 4 1/4″ x 11″ (either way makes the same size card front)
- Whisper White: 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″
- Blueberry Bushel: 3 3/8″ x 4 5/8″

The only difference in the next card is that I used Real Red for the lighthouse and Basic Black for the matting layer.

Inks I Used
Here are all the Stampin’ Pads I used for all the cards.

Each card is just laid out a little different as I used the different stamps.

Fantastic “verses!” Each card uses a different one of the verses that come in the stamp set.


The layering piece under the white on this one is Basic Gray.

Just the Birds
This card makes me think of my daughter. Our family loves the beach, but….Jami is absolutely terrified of birds. She literally runs and hides under her towel if the birds get too close. (just a little family tidbit!)

This one I kept a little softer looking by layering under the white with Pool Party.

High Tide cards: Do you mind sharing the mat measurements for the different cards. I love this post and your designs using this set.
Sandie, the measurements for all the cards are the same and you can get those in the blog post https://wp.me/p8rvpR-7Py.
