It's a Masculine Card for Another Friday Mashup!


How appropriate... I actually got to the Friday Mashup on a Friday!   I set out to do 6 different challenges tonight (although I KNEW I wouldn't get to more than 2 completed!) The rules for Friday Mashup are simple.... Use the sketch and / or make is Masculine.   So I did both!  I love this sketch!   I sat down and thumbed through my new stamps trying to find one that would be masculine enough.   (This challenge has shown me that I need more masculine stamps.) 
MUG25









I pulled out the Typeset (X719B) paper for this card and used the stamp Key Moments (B1392) for this 6x6 card.  The card base is Kraft Cardstock.

Paper - Typeset Level 2 Paper

I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
