Hello my Stampin’ Friends!
It’s Masculine Monday—time for a men’s-themed card! While I usually find these types of cards challenging, the Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper makes it so easy!
Step into an old-world art gallery with the Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Designer Series Paper! With moody landscapes, floral sketches, and more, you’ll love this paper’s eclectic collection of dramatic designs and artistic details. Layer the papers in a scrapbook spread or feature your favorites on a card or tag.
This Father’s Day card showcases a stunning maritime landscape from the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper, featuring a dramatic sky layered with shades of Pecan Pie and Cloud Cover above a serene harbor scene. The watercolor-style image captures boats resting in calm waters, with subtle touches of Secret Sea creating depth in the water and sky. The artistic quality of the image carries a contemplative, masculine feel perfect for Father’s Day.
The card construction utilizes a Cloud Cover cardstock base with precise layering of Secret Sea cardstock that frames the focal image. Three small black embellishments are placed in the upper left corner, adding a subtle touch of balance and visual interest without overwhelming the artwork.
At the bottom of the image, a simple Cloud Cover banner displays “HAPPY FATHER’S DAY” in bold, classic typography (from the Celebrating You Stamp Set). The neutral tone of the banner allows it to blend naturally with the harbor scene while still providing a clear focal point for the sentiment.
For the inside of the card, I layered Secret Sea cardstock with Basic Beige cardstock. I also added a narrow strip of the same Designer Series Paper used on the front, creating a coordinated look throughout the card. The card’s coordinating envelope continues the maritime theme, creating a cohesive presentation that any father would appreciate.
