Hi there my creative and crafty friends! It’s Wanda here on The Greetery Blog today to share a project with you! I am always so excited and happy to share with you. Hope you’re doing great! I am still so in love with the new release and I decided to make another project featuring some of the new items. I was inspired by the awesome Award Winning dies and really wanted to make a more vintage/masculine project using them. It’s always fun to see how using a different color palette or style can change the look of our favorite stamps and dies….
My finished card is an A2 cream card base. I covered it in diamond harlequin paper and then layered a Postal Frame diecut in cream. The star of the card is the Award Winning Dies! I used the XOXO from the Typed Greetings Dies to make the center of the award stand out.
I started this card by die cutting all the pieces of the award using patterned papers and cardstocks. I generously inked up all the pieces with Antique Linen Distress Ink to make it all look aged and vintage. In between the bottom two layers of the award, I created a rosette layer by folding strips of paper in an accordion fashion. Then I glued all the layers together to make my award. I die cut the XOXO using silver and black cardstocks and attached it to the award using foam dots. I added a mirrored heart charm also. Finally I added a couple silver streamers die cut from the Hey Honeycomb Balloons die set.
It is always nice to have some masculine cards on hand for the guys in our lives! My husband loves the vintage look, so he will most likely be the recipient of this card for our anniversary this year.
That’s it for my project for today! I hope you have a fantastic and creative day! I look forward to sharing with you again soon. In the meantime, happy crafting! XO Wanda

NICELY DONE, Wanda! I LOVE the vintage look of this! QUITE STUNNING! 😉
Pure vintage charm, Wanda! Your handsome card would be perfect for Father’s Day, too. Heartfelt thanks for the wonderful inspiration this morning! 🩷
Another way to use the newest release! I’m always amazed at your talents with Vintage made cards and this is no exception! TFS 😊
What a great guy card! I love the rosette under the top parts of the award and the skinny stripes on the patterned paper you used. Just perfect!!
Vintage and masculine equals a match made in Heaven and not an easy task. But, Wanda pulled it off beautifully!
I like the vintage look too, this card looks wonderful! I also like the color combination you used. Thank you Wanda!
