Welcome to the Tech 4 Stampers Blog Hop!
I’m so excited to be part of this amazing international group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators who are members of the Tech 4 Stampers Academy, founded by the wonderful Louise Sims. Her Website School and Tech Academy have helped so many of us build our online presence and share our creativity with the world.
Now that many of us have our websites up and running, we’ve established a monthly blog hop to showcase fresh ideas, fun themes, and inspiration to spark your next project. This month’s blog hop theme is Masculine, and I’m thrilled to share my Fun Guys Hoodie Birthday Card using the All Zipped Up Bundle from Stampin’ Up!!
Masculine Card Idea: Fun Guys Hoodie Birthday Card
One of the biggest challenges in cardmaking is creating masculine birthday cards that feel fresh and modern. That’s where the All Zipped Up Bundle shines! With realistic zipper dies and fun, casual sentiments, this bundle is perfect for masculine handmade cards, especially for birthdays.
We made this card at my Masculine Stamp-a-Stack last weekend, and it was a huge hit with everyone. It’s bold, stylish, and has a cool hoodie vibe that’s perfect for teens, dads, brothers, or any guy who appreciates something a little different.
What’s in the All Zipped Up Bundle?
The All Zipped Up Bundle includes:
- All Zipped Up Photopolymer Stamp Set: Playful sentiments and fun modern accents.
- Zipper Die Set: These dies create a realistic zipper track and pull tab!
Whether you’re going for quirky, cute, or even a more masculine look, this bundle works across styles and themes.
How to Make the Fun Guys Hoodie Birthday Card
Want to try this card yourself?
Here are some tips and tricks to get the best results with your hoodie-themed birthday card:
✅ Cardmaking Tips:
Try an embossed version
For a more subtle effect, try embossing your cardstock before die-cutting with the zipper die. It gives a softer, blended texture.
Create fabric texture
Use a fabric-look embossing folder to give your cardstock a hoodie-like texture.
Hide your joins
Use one of the fun sentiments to cover the join between your foil die cuts for a clean finish.
Attach the zipper pull with care
Use a Glue Dot to add your zipper pull without smudging the silver foil.
Clean up glue marks
If you do get any glue on the foil, use a bit of Stampin’ Mist and a paper towel to gently remove smudges.
Voila!
