Transparent Whiskey Business Man Card

Hello friends, happy July 4th. Apparently I have been sitting on this post for a couple of days - completely unintentionally. I went to pin the photos and found the post had not published.

Today I am sharing another Whiskey Business card - an acrylic card covered in "man" designer series papers and stamping.

The acrylic cards are not a Stampin' Up! product but something I purchased from Amazon (Clear Presentation Cover - 100-Pack Transparent Binding Cover, PVC Report Cover 10-mil, Clear 8.5 x 11 inches). Each sheet provides two cards, just like regular cardstock.

For this card I cut the transparent sheet to be 4.25 x 11 inches, and scored at 5.5 inches (I have a thing for top fold cards). An important thing to remember when using transparent cards is where to hide the adhesive. In this case, I placed the map print matting inside the card, adhered to the front transparent layer, behind the front of the card.

Design Series Paper from World of Good specialty paper was used to make this card also with a gold grid card front from the Forever Gold Laser Cut specialty paper (I adore this pack of paper!). The card was finished with Gilded Gems and diagonal strips of map paper.

The inside of the card is made much like the front, only more simple. I stamped and colored a drink on the inside sheet and adhered it to the transparent card. I then added a matting to the back of the card, facing front, and hid the adhesive inside the layers.

I hope you enjoyed today's card. Supplies used are linked below:

Whiskey Business Stamp Set and Cards

Cards · Stampin' Up! · Whiskey Business

Hello friends! I am back today to share a new stamp set with you, Whiskey Business! For me this is the ultimate man-card stamp set. I have already used it to make a retirement card (the image immediately below) and a birthday card (to be shared later in the week). I teamed up the stamp set with the World of Good designer series paper, basic vanilla, and black cardstock choices to emphasize the manly designs.

The card above is a retirement card for a friend's husband. In addition to basic cardstock layers of vanilla, black, and gold, a layer of World of Good designer series paper was added, and a hand stamped wood look background. I used the small wooden slat stamp in the set and made my own background paper.

The decanter and glasses were stamped on white cardstock and colored using the Mango Melody and Soft Suede Stampin' Blend markers. The sentiment was stamped on vanilla cardstock and punched using the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch (I will do a post on this punch next week). I finished the card with Gilded gold gems.

The Cheers To You card above was actually the first card I made using this stamp set. The card features a very vanilla base card with black matting. I inked the brick and mortar embossing folder and embossed gray granite cardstock. I used the stitched rectangle dies to cut the Merry Merlot frame. As on the card above, the decanter and glass were stamped onto white cardstock and colored with stampin' blends. The sentiment was punched with the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch. I accented the card with Bumblebee ribbon and In-Color enamel dots.

I plan to share two more blog posts this week featuring the Whiskey Business stamp set. Pop back by later in the week for more fun man cards.

As always, the products used on these cards are linked below.
