I’m always on the watch for items that will make a masculine card. You wouldn’t think that the Wonderful Floral die set would provide a woodcarving that would appeal to a man. But, here it is:
Woodcarving
The challenge at CAS(E) this sketch was my inspiration for this “clean and simple” card.
The minute I saw the vine growing the length of the sketch, I thought of the new, Occasions, Wonderful Floral die, and knew I had to use it.
Wanting to keep things “clean and simple,” I decided to use Wood Textures Designer Series Paper on a Whisper White card base. Wood lends itself to a masculine design, and what man wouldn’t like this woodcarving? I layered it for thickness, and “authenticity.”
I used three more dies from the Wonderful Floral set: the wooden leaves, the plaque that says “Just for You,” and the sprig of bling.
The leaves were cut from the same Wood Textures DSP, and the sprig is cut from the Sale-A-Bration Grapefruit Grove Foil. A little bit of this foil goes a long way, and makes a nice highlight.
The plaque is cut from Thick Whisper White cardstock, stamped in Soft Suede ink with a sentiment from the Meant To Be stamp set.
Before gluing everything in place, I used the Subtle Textured embossing folder on the Thick Whisper White panel.

Beautiful card! Where is this die from?
Thank you, Jan! I posted this card January 2019. There was a limited supply of this die set, Wonderful Floral, and I’m sorry to say it’s no longer available.
I ordered Soft Suede Classic Stampin’ Pad [147115] about a month ago, but it still has not arrived. I’ll let you know how good it is after it arrives.
Hi Dinorah,
I didn’t see Soft Suede Ink on the back-order list. If you’re a demonstrator, I suggest contacting Demonstrator Support. If not, you can contact Customer Support or have your designated Demonstrator contact Stampin’ Up for you.
Love this card. Just found out that Stampin Up no longer has the die part available. So sad. Hope they get t he problem solved.
Hi Marie,
I recently found that out also. I know it’s disappointing, but it’s the nature of the business. In order to keep coming out with new and exciting things, they can’t have too much stock in each item. It’s impossible for anyone to predict what will be the “hottest” items. I’m learning that if I see something I really like, I order ASAP, and then I forget about the others. There’s always something new around the corner. I hope this helps explain the predicament.
Yes thanks just a little disappointed. Hoping I can find something similar.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this card. Thank you for posting.
Great card and just right for a masculine card – which I sorely need. Thanks for sharing!
Outstanding.
Your card is very classy! I love the overall layout and your touch of GG Foil.
