Welcome to a new series on my blog called Masculine Monday. I have a fabulous masculine card to share with you today!
Do you struggle making Masculine cards ?
Why not join me each Monday for some fabulous inspiration. This weekend I happened across a fab Challenge blog, called The Male Room, (Why have I never come across this challenge blog before?) It’s a weekly challenge and has fab inspiration from the Design Team, Challenge blogs make you think outside the box as well as simply following the brief directly.
Challenge blog:
Today’s quick and easy card uses a theme from The Male Room and challenge #146 Theme is Animals.

How cute is this card?
This Masculine card showcases the Hot Dog Stamp Set from page 72 of the Stampin’ Up! 2021 January – June Mini Catalog!
When I chose the masculine patterned papers from the Well Suited Suite, I knew I had to stick to the colour scheme of the papers I wanted to use, so I googled what colours are sausage dogs and came across a photo with several different colours.
Did you know In fact, there are up to 25 recognised Dachshund coat appearance descriptions based on a variety of categories! I didn’t so I was super happy to find one that has a blue coat.
I loved making this card, I love the simplicity of the design. It is very replaceable for any level of crafter. Watch out for more projects from me using this stamp set! you can purchase this stamp set HERE.
Here is a close up. I just love using the Stampin up Stampin Blends for quick colouring, I also love leaving bits white for added highlight effects.
