Glad you dropped by today! Masculine cards! I have several men in my life and am always in need of masculine cards but so hard to find stamps and paper to create them! Well Stampin UP® has outdone themselves with the Well Suited Suite! It is full of product to create masculine cards until your heart desires. My husband wear suspenders on a daily basis so I just had to design one with suspenders in them! This is so fitting for him!
For this card I used the Handsomely Suited Bundle. Added in the Well Suited Designer Series Paper, Silver Foil, and the Stitched Shapes Dies.

Step by Step instructions:
- Layer 1 – Adhere to the card front.
- Layer 2 – You will be using Layer’s 3 – 4 to build the shirt on this layer before adhering to card front.
- Layer 3 – Using the Suite and Ties Dies and the long stitched die (Suspender), cut out. Then adhere to the center of Layer 2 as shown. Trim off access at the top.
- Layer 4 – Using the Suit & Tie Dies cut out 2 of the pockets, 2 of the suspenders, the buttons and the collar.
- Adhere the Suspenders to Layer 2 about 3/8″ from each side. Trim off any excess at top.
- Adhere the Collar to Layer 2 centering the best you can. You will be overlapping the suspenders. Then trim the V in Layer 2 to fit the collar.
- Adhere the pockets to the back of Layer 2 as shown to look like sleeves. Trim if necessary.
- Adhere the buttons to Layer 3 as shown.
- Now Adhere Layer 2 to the card front centering as shown.
- Layer 5 – Using the Suite and Ties dies cut out 2 buckles and one of the small long stitched die.
- Cut the small piece in half and adhere to top of the suspenders just below the collar as shown.
- Adhere the buckles to the bottom of the suspenders as shown.
- Layer 6 – Using Night of Navy ink stamp the sentiment in the center then using the Stitched Shapes Dies cut out a circle.
- Layer 7 – Using the Stitched Shapes Dies cut out a circle just bigger then Layer 6.
- Adhere Layer 6 to the center of Layer 7. Wrap Night of Navy Twine around the top edge of both circles and tie a knot. I used Mini Glue Dots in the back to secure in place.
- Using Stampin Dimensionals adhere to the card front on the right side as shown.
- Layer 8 – Using Night of Navy Ink stamp sentiment onto center of layer.
- Layer 9 – Adhere to the bottom edge of Layer 8 then adhere them both to the inside of the card.
