Hi everyone! I think I found my go-to die set for making cards for guys! It’s always been hard for me to come up with masculine card designs. This Brewed die set featuring beers, ale, and wine is gender-neutral and just perfect for a Father’s Day card.

Skill: Intermediate
Time: 30 minutes

Step 1:
Ink blend a gingham pattern using the Artistic Mix masks with Memento Paris Dusk ink. I like to emphasize certain areas and use a light hand for others to create variations of shades.

Step 2:
Die cut the beer and hops elements using different color cardstock.

Step 3:
To add some foamy details to the beer foam, apply a layer of Radiant Neon Amplify! Then heat set with your heat gun until a bubbly texture starts to puff up. I haven’t used these in a long time and was surprised with how well the result looked! There’s no waiting time for drying, either. Just heat set as soon as you apply the liquid layer. 

Step 4:
Assemble the die cut elements with Tear-It Tape and foam tape. I used On Point Glue to adhere the two “Cheers” die cuts. The fine tip nozzle is really handy for applying small amounts of glue to intricate die cuts. For the final step, I heat embossed the sentiment with white Mboss powder and that completes the card!
