You’re the Man–MFT May Creative Construction with Blueprints Design Team Challenge

Stars will never go out of style. From masculine looks to dreamy scenes, they have a way of adding something special to any project you include them on. Our team loves them too and in this month’s collection of projects, they’ve used Blueprints featuring stars to craft spectacular looks worthy of any recipient or occasion.


I do love to use stars on masculine cards so that’s what I went with today. I started with a Stone Gray card stock base, then added a panel of Sweet Tooth card stock on which I stamped Grid Background in a messy way with Black Licorice dye ink and followed up with Distressed Patterns with more Black Licroice dye ink along with Berrylicious dye ink and Safety Orange dye ink. Next I cut Stitched Traditional Tag STAX Die-namics from more Sweet Tooth card stock and then dry embossed it with Star Celebration Stencil to tie in with the die cut stars to come.



To the tag I added three neckties made with LJD Terrific Ties and LJD Terrific Ties Die-namics, stamped in the already mentioned inks and popped up on foam. Then I added a strip of Houndstooth Background, one of Plaid Background Builder stamped with the color palette, and finally the sentiment strip, cut from Black Licorice card stock using Blueprints 7 Die-namics. I stamped it with the sentiment from the set with Versamark and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder, then popped it up on foam. To follow the theme, I cut stars from Silver Sparkle card stock using Blueprints 11 Die-namics, Blueprints 18 Die-namics, and Blueprints 25 Die-namics and scattered them on the card, some popped up on foam. I finished off with some matching enamel dots and baker’s twine for the tag.

And that’s it from me today—thanks so much for stopping by. See you soon!
