I have been playing with the new Couture Creations Gentleman’s Emporium paper collection lately, and having a ball.

Most papercrafters have the same problem – masculine card ideas are hard to come by. Without all the ribbons and pearls, and lots of sparkle, we feel stuck.

This new collection takes all that angst away, and I find the ideas just flow.

I’ve come up with what I think is a pretty unique idea using this wonderful collection, and thought I’d share how I did it. It looks complicated, but it’s very simple. And you could do a lot of variations of this simple idea.

I have put together a fairly detailed video on how I made this card. (It’s a little longer than my usual, but once you watch it, you’ll understand why.)
