Campology For A Masculine Birthday Card

December 27, 2020 Leave a Comment

Now that Christmas is 362 days away I feel confident in turning my attention to other important occasions. So it’s time to start rebuilding my stash of birthday cards. Today’s project is quite simple to make with a couple of punches and a bit of fussy cutting. But it all began with the simple coffee pot image from the Campology Stamp Set.

CAMPOLOGY

The Campology Stamp Set is from the Stampin’ Up! 2020/21 Annual Catalogue and is great for masculine or gender-neutral projects. Although it’s a bit obvious I couldn’t help choosing Early Espresso for my ink colour and began to stamp.

First on a scrap of Very Vanilla Card I stamped the coffee pot and mug image. Then without reinking the stamp I stamped it again in the bottom left corner on the front of a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope.

TIP – This process of stamping a second time without reinking the stamp gives a lighter version of the same ink colour. You may see it referred to as ‘stamping off’ or ‘second generation stamping’.

Next after reinking the stamp I stamped the image in the bottom left corner of a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Very Vanilla Card. Finally after reinking the image one last time I stamped a second image on the scrap Very Vanilla Card.

The Campology Stamp Set doesn’t have a birthday sentiment so for that I turned to the Timeless Tulips Stamp Set. Still using Early Espresso ink I stamped it onto a 1/2″ strip of Very Vanilla Card. Then I shaped one end using the Banners Pick-A-Punch.

With the stamping complete I took the two coffee pot images stamped onto scrap card and began to cut them out with Paper Snips. One of the images I cut out complete with a little border around it. From the second image I cut just the cup (without the handle) close to the edge of the image. Then with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional I fixed the cup onto the full image and set it aside.

SIMPLE LAYERS

For the card base I chose Early Espresso Card, cutting and scoring it using my Paper Trimmer. Then I folded the card along the scored line and sharpened the crease with a Bone Folder.

Next I shaped the stamped Very Vanilla layer using the corner rounder option on the Detailed Trio Punch. Then with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Tombow) I fixed the layer inside the card base.

Now all I had to do was complete the front of the card.

In the World of Good 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack I found a vintage-looking sheet with writing on it. The background was Crumb Cake but I thought I could add extra interest by adding ink around the edges. For this I chose Cinnamon Cider ink, and using one of the new Blending Brushes gradually built up the ink around the piece.

With that done I shaped the corners of the DSP with the Detailed Trio Punch. Then I cut and shaped a layer of Very Vanilla Card before mounting the DSP onto it with liquid glue. Next I glued the assembled layers onto the front of the card base and added the sentiment on top.

To add a bit of shine I cut some of the retiring copper ribbon from the Basket Weave and Metallic Ribbon Combo. Instead of tying it in a bow I loosely folded it into three and attached it to the sentiment with Tear & Tape Adhesive.

Finally I fixed the layered coffee pot and mug image over the top of the ribbon with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and my card was complete.
