Welcome to week 3 of our Colour Creations blog hop format for 2020-21!
Today we are showcasing a very dark neutral – Basic Gray – and I’ve teamed it with other neutrals to make an all-purpose masculine slimline card. I’ve deliberately left the inside blank so I can use it for a variety of occasions.
My friend Kate has been making the most fabulous cards with the new Hats Off bundle so I finally caved in and bought it too. I’m so glad I did – what a great bundle for masculine, teenager (and feminine) cards!
There are so many cute little elements in this bundle and options for decorating the emblem on the front of the cap and you can make this cap in any colour you like! I’ve got some great ideas for this bundle…watch this space!
If you take a closer look at the emblem I chose for my cap I think you’ll understand why I decided to pair the Hats Off bundle with the Mountain Air Stamp set and Majestic Mountain dies.
They really were made to to be used together, don’t you think?
To make a quick and easy matching envelope for my slimline card I’ve simply decorated a standard business envelope by adhering a stamped panel of card Sahara Sand card stock to the front of the envelope. I deliberately trimmed the Sahara Sand card stock layer to be smaller than the envelope so there was a border of white that matched the design of the card itself.
The sentiment also perfectly matches the Mountain Air stamp set and was stamped in Basic Gray and die cut using a stitched rectangle die.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the very talented, Rachel Palmieri.

So clever of you to combine the hat dies with the Mountain Air stamp set and Majestic Mountain dies, Cathy. The neutral colour palette is also perfect.
Love this card, Catherine. Great combination of stamps and die sets.
A great masculine card Cathy and the use of the other Subtles colours goes so well. Great idea to have a non committed sentiment too
A fabulous marriage of stamp sets! Your card is wonderful, a great card for an outdoorsy male of any age.
This is Amazing! How cool that both these bundles have the same mountain/tree images to coordinate so well. I love how you decorated your envelope too!
Very cool – love how you combined the two bundles. Really great masculine card.
Oh Cathy, I love what you have done pairing the 2 together it looks fantastic. I love this hat and need to get it. Still on the fence with the mountains as I don’t know if I could make them look as fantastic as you but you are making me come around to maybe I could get it to look great. Your card is just wonderful.
