This week The Paper Players are challenging you to a color challenge…Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake and Whisper White! Since several of you have requested masculine cards, I decided to tackle this challenge with a vintage masculine card. I hope you enjoy my “Planes for the Players” card today!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips:
- Texture! Cajun Craze card stock was zipped through the Big Shot with the Finial Press Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The edges were distressed with the Seven Sided Tool, and Soft Suede ink was lightly brayered over the top.
- Woodgrain! The Woodgrain background stamp was inked with Early Espresso and stamped onto the Cherry Cobber card base. The edges of the card base were then distressed using a Sponge Dauber and Soft Suede ink.
- De Plane! De Plane! A Stamp-a-ma-jig was used to position and stamp the Plane image from the Plane and Simple stamp set. The image was inked with Early Espresso and stamped onto Whisper White.
- Di-stress! Di-stress! Crumb Cake ink was sponged onto the edges of the Whisper White image mat. Crumb Cake and Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Markers were used with the Color Spritzer Tool to add speckles.
- The finishing touches! Two mini-brads from Vintage Trinkets are the perfect choice for the wheels of the plane. Three little Safety Pins, also from Vintage Trinkets, add interest, as does the Antique Brad near the sentiment. Chantilly Crochet Trim and a snippet of Hemp Twine add texture without looking feminine.
The nice thing about this card and this stamp set is that you can change the sentiment to fit the occasion. If you need a masculine birthday card or a Father’s Day card, the sentiments are included in this set! I consider this set to be a good value!
I hope you enjoyed my vintage masculine card! Your comments are very important to me, so please let me know what you think about today’s card by leaving me a comment. And remember, if you ever have any questions about the cards that I create or the techniques that I use, I am only an email away! Until next time…

Wow, I SO love this card! I love masculine cards and am tempted to get this set, just because of your card! I haven’t seen anything until just right NOW that inspired me with it! 🙂
Oh, this is a great masculine card, Ann! Great take on the colors and I love the distressing. The three pins in a row are fabulous!
Hello agian, forgot to mention that I am your newest follower.
I adore this card!
My husband is a pilot & would so love this too.
So talented!!!
Thanks for sharing with us all!
Crafty hugs,

Love the ribbon treatment – the pins are a great touch!

What a great masculine card! I just love those planes. I should get this set to make cards for my son. He points out every plane in the sky. The brads for wheels are just perfect! Thanks for sharing.
Love this card. I really love the mini brads as the wheel of the plane.
How nice!! You know we really don’t do enough masculine cards. I’m feeling a case coming one. Especially since it’s Vintage and that is my first love. Thanks!
I love how you make the challenge colors looks so easy! I love the look of this card, and those little vintage airplane wheels…Super cool! Great job at this weeks color challenge!
Ann, This is a great masculine card. Love how you used that plane image!
Ann, this is fantabulous! This set just “landed” at my house on Friday and this is wonderful inspiration to get the wheels turning so it can “take flight”. Ok, I’m done with the puns! Haha! I really like all of the great details that dress it up while still keeping it manly! 🙂
You have hit this one out of the park Ann!! I can’t get over your clever “wheels” on the plane, and all of the other perfect touches!!
TWO of my most scary styles together! I love it, Ann. You are such an inspiration, Pal!
A fabulous masculine card Ann! Love all the distressing, the trio of planes and the mini brad wheels are genius!
Ann, this card made my little heart take flight! It’s stunning. I would NEVER have thought you could use the finial embossing folder on a masculine card. But you made it rock. There are so many amazing details that I found myself looking at this card for ages. I also, NEVER thought you could put lace on a masculine card – yet, again, you ROCKED it. The brads, the plane stamped as though it’s a single three planed stamp; the use of the color spritzer, the pins…. all lead up to a stunning card.
Hugs

SNAZZY! I am amazed at all the comments—you are the queen of vintage in the SU world, for sure!
Stunning card, Ann! I think I may have to add a Color Spritzer to my next order after seeing all your wonderful work with it. May need to look for a tutorial on how to use one though as I’ve never seen one in action.
I always have trouble with the guy cards, you really rocked this! FABULOUS!
Ann beautiful masculine card. These were very hard colors for me but you make it look so natural. Love the inked embossing. So cool.
Lovely card Ann, You really do , do an amazing job at creating a feeling within your cards. Just lovely! You took me away with this card!
Cool card, great for a male.
Beautiful masculine vintage card. I love how you used plane image. TFS
Hi Ann,
love your “man-card”. It´s so pretty easy to make a card for us “girls”, but for a man.It´s a hard work ;-)You´ve done a good job.
hugs and smiles

“Top flight!” The colors are spot on, and I love that you used crocheted lace on a masculine card!
Wow, how is it possible that you have one beautiful idea after the other?
I love the idea with the safety pins!
Love the card, Ann! The tires on the plane was one of the first things I noticed when I enlarged the picture, love the detailed look that adds. Great job AGAIN!! Have I told you how much I enjoy your eye candy??
Ann, your vintage masculine card is gorgeous. I love that you added the trinket brads on the wheel of the main image. I also love that you had the plane stamped three times and that you added three tiny saftey pins on the chrochet lace. The colors are beautiful. I was not going to get this stamp but thanks to you I will be. 🙂
Hope you have a Happy Valenines day. 🙂

You did it again. You took AIRPLANES and made them look terrific. Great job on a guy card.
Ann, an awesome masculine card. I like the various textures you used on the card and you made it look so vintage to go along with the planes. Great work.
That is a very attractive card and great for the guys.
Wow, I don’t know of a fellow who
wouldn’t want to receive this card.
Love how you have used the vintage trinkets, especially the wheels of the plane.
Wonderful card!
Love that card Ann. I’m always looking for good masculine card ideas. Love the plane image.
I love your card, Ann. Your details say “masculine” all over! Well done.
Another amazing card! I would never have guessed the airplanes let alone the colors! You did a fantastic job with those colors. I love reading everyone’s comments and I totally missed the brads for the wheels until I read the comment. I need to look at that set again, maybe I DO need it! Thanks for all your inspiration!

Hi Ann: I wondered how this would be used! It looks wonderful. Just like they are zooming along! Love the colors and the clear stamping.
Another beautiful, vintage card Ann!!! I have debated about getting this stamp but after seeing your creation, it is now on my “must have” list. Kathy in Arizona
Love all the details and the colors you used are amazing.
Another amazing creation! I would have been lost from the start with the Cajun Craze & Cherry Cobbler combo! The woodgrain background is perfect for a masculine card and I just love the little brads for the plane’s wheels.
This is a fabulous card. I love how you used the crocheted ribbon with the little pins. Thanks for blessing my day. 🙂
Love this masculine card!!! You did fabulous with those colors. Hugs,
Another wonderful card. I really like this set, too, but have not inked it up yet. Love your design!
So cool…love that airplane and the perfect card for a guy! XOXO
Wonderful card! I just love it!
