I have a woodsy, masculine card to share today. Yesterday was our 40th Anniversary! Wow! When you are first married, you never think of reaching a large number. Anyway, I have been playing with the Skinny Cards and that is what I made.
This card does not scream romance!! But my husband likes peace and quiet. So that was where I was going with my idea. That said, this card would work for a lot of people in your life.
The background is sponged using Old Olive and Balmy Blue Inks. I stamped the Winter Woods trees in Soft Suede. They are a group of trees. So I started with the ones to the left of center, then added a couple further left, and finally the ones to the right. I did use the little grass stamp to define them and give some texture to the ground.
The sentiment is from Tasteful Touches stamp set. I added the 2020-2022 In Color Dots in Cinnamon Cider for a highlight. The ribbon is the Faux Suede Trim. This is the first time I have used it and I Love it!!! It is soft and very easy to work with.
Here are the measurements for today’s card:
- base is 7 1/2 X 8 3/4, scored at 3 3/4
- layer is 3 1/2 X 8 1/2
- white is 3 1/4 X 8 1/4
- sentiment base is 3 3/4 X 1 1/2
- sentiment is 3 1/2 X 1 1/4

Such a beautiful landscape, Jackie! Love it!
My first thought was “This is so pretty”. Then I wondered should you call a masculine card pretty? All I know is that it is beautifully executed and I like it. Great job Jackie!
