Basket of Blooms Card Idea–Masculine Card!

Welcome to the Maui Achiever's Blog Hop where demonstrators unite from across the world to bring you beautiful, creative inspiration for your stamping.  You are at Candy Rattray, sweetstamper.com., and the full list of others on this blog hop is at the very bottom of this post.  

A potted plant with just foliage is a perfect gift for a man.  It will sit nicely on the desk of a co-worker or brighten the room of someone who is ill.  Why not make that perfect gift into a card that needs no water or perfect mix of indirect light?!!!  Cinnamon Cider, Shaded Spruce, and Just Jade make a lovely masculine color scheme and are just the ticket for my "paper potted plant"!  I prefer an understated look for my masculine cards with a minimum of embellishments.  Here, the small ribbon knot and In Color Enamel Dot add just the right amount of texture and interest.

I've been loving the new 2020-2022 In Colors, and Cinnamon Cider is in my focus this month as I've worked with it on my twice weekly Facebook Lives.  This masculine card, featuring Basket of Blooms stamp set, was on my Simple & Stepped Up demonstration. with this masculine version as well as a stepped up one that includes flowers.  Basket of Blooms is such a versatile stamp set!
