Stampin' Up! Brewed for You Birthday

Welcome to my Monday Morning Masculine card post. It's also a fun fold day. I do love my fun folds! The Diamond Flip card was inspired by Cindy Lee B. I do believe she lives just up the road from me!

My card base is Sahara Sand Cardstock 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 2 1/8" and 5 1/2". 

On the inside right I have a Basic Black mat that measures 5 1/4" x 4". I had some old paper (Birch) from Office Max that I cut to 5" x 3 3/4" for the image, sentiment, bubbles and hop to rest on. I stamped the growler with Early Espresso Ink (same for the sentiment and bubbles) and colored it with my Bronze Stampin' Blends. The hop and leaves are cut with the Brewed Dies. I used Old Olive Cardstock for the leaves and Parakeet Party for the hop. I added a little Old Olive to the hop with my Stamp N Write Marker and colored in the openings with my Light Old Olive Stampin' Blends, trying to achieve the look of a real hop!

On the inside left, I adhered another piece of He's the Man DSP (3 1/8" x 4") with liquid glue. The "Cheers to all your Years" circle is a cut out from He's the Man. I love this paper package. If you hate making masculine cards, this paper will help you fall in love!

For the outer part of the card, I made a mark 2 1/8" down from the top and cut from that mark to the score line on either side. For the diamond part, I cut a piece of Soft Succulent Cardstock 2 7/8" x 2 7/8" and adhered the left side to the fold, leaving a border. Next I cut another piece of DSP from He's the Man 2 5/8" x 2 5/8" and ran it through my cutting machine with the Dots & Spots Dies. I adhered that with liquid glue, sparingly!

I cut a piece of Designer Series Paper from He's the Man at 3" x 4". I also cut a strip of Soft Succulent Cardstock 3/4" x 4" and stamped it with another sentiment from the Brewed for You Stamp Set still using Early Espresso Ink. I adhered it to the back edge of my DSP and then cut the DSP right edge so that the joined pieces would measure 3 1/8" across and adhered it to the front.

This card is for my son-in-love and he does like Guinness beer so I tried to achieve that look with the Brewed Dies, Light and Dark Soft Suede Stampin' Blends and Light Smoky Slate Blends. I adhered the right one with liquid glue and the left one with Stampin' Dimensionals. The foam is also a cut from the Brewed Dies. I sponged the foam lightly with Soft Suede Ink.
