Hi everybody!!! Kim here sharing a masculine Valentines Day card using the "He Said Coffee" set for our main image, background, and sentiment. Plus another sentiment from "Lollipop Love" all by Polka Dot Orchard digital stamps. It's a wonderful set so great for all kinds of projects. And if you don't do Valentines, then this set is awesome for Father's Day or Birthday cards too!

And check out the inside of the card...ooo-La-La!
How I made this card...
How I made this card...
I use a WPS Free Office program to copy and paste Polka Dot Orchard digital images. It allows me to layer digital images to create one piece, by moving them around, or bringing images forward and back behind images. Once I resized them to fit on our card and had the images where I wanted them, I printed on my HP printer using white cardstock from HL, using the thin brand. And print two sets of sentiments (one for the front and the other for the inside)
I colored the image with a combination of Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, Prismacolor colored pencils and Gamsol, to get the right color scheme I wanted. And brushed Distress Inks around the edges with a blending brush. Because who doesn't love a guy in pink, wearing an apron, serving coffee? Right?
Then using a die cutting machine, I cut out the the image panel with a stitched rectangle die. And set aside, as I made our card base.

Next I took an 8.5x11" kraft cardstock, folded in half to create our card base. Then using a die cutting machine again, I cut out a piece of striped patterned paper with an Edgers Confetti Cuts die, and adhered to card base with arrow pointing to the left. But I changed my mind and flipped the striped panel and made the arrow pointing to the right.
Cut a strip of red cardstock and adhere to card. Took a red paper doily, cut in half, and adhered to card. Trimmed down the kraft card base. Cut and adhered a gray satin ribbon across the center. Adhered our main man image panel over that ribbon and doily to card. Cut a second piece of ribbon, tie in a bow, and adhere to card. As shown below...

Then take those sentiments we printed earlier and hand sketch brown lines around the first line of one of the sentiments, cut it out, and adhere to front of card. Take the second sentiment (without the first line) adhere to inside of card. Adhere embellishment hearts leftover from another project, but any heart stickers, punches, or die cuts would work too. Added a touch of clear glitter pen to the coffee mug and hearts for a touch of sparkle to complete this handsome, sexy, sassy card. So fun, right???
I hope I've inspired you to try digital stamps, try layering, mix and match products and see what you can create.
