Peaceful Evergreens Masculine Card
It’s so easy to create this simple Peaceful Evergreens masculine card, where we merge the rugged texture of the Birch Wood Embossing Folder with the serene beauty of the Peaceful Evergreens Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up! These two products make it simple to create a card with a distinctly masculine touch. This project is ideal for anyone who wants to craft a card that speaks to the strength and tranquility of nature, perfect for the special men in your life.
The Peaceful Evergreens Stamp Set is perfect for adding a naturalistic touch, with its detailed tree designs that resonate with anyone who appreciates the great outdoors. The Birch Wood folder ensures that every card you make has a high-quality, textured feel that mimics the ruggedness of real wood. I’ll show you how easy it is to layer the stamped images to create a forest-like depth, playing with light and shadow to give your card a life-like appearance.
You’ll be well-prepared to craft a beautifully handmade card that impresses with its simplicity and thematic depth. Whether it’s for a birthday, a thank you note, or just because, this card is bound to make a memorable impression.

Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Fold the Very Vanilla cardstock in half at the score line to create your card base.
- Run the 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder.
- Cut 18″ of the Wild Wheat Ribbon and wrap around the embossed Very Vanilla cardstock, tying into a bow on the right side. Adhere the cardstock to the front of the card.
- Using the 2″ x 3-1/4″ piece Very Vanilla cardstock, stamp the small grove of trees once using Crushed Curry ink. Without reinking, stamp again to the left of that image for a shadow effect.
- Adhere the Very Vanilla cardstock to the Wild Wheat cardstock.
- Adhere the cardstock to the front of the card, left of the bow, using Stampin’ Dimensionals, to finish.
A Tip from Barb
This card is so easy, it actually should be classified as a Busy Bee card, but the use of the Birch Wood 3D Embossing folder upgrades it to a Worker Bee.
TIP: If you don’t have a Cut & Emboss Machine, try this instead. Use a spritzer to slightly dampen the 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock – do not get it wet! Crumple the cardstock in your hands, scrunching it fairly well. Flatten out and when totally dry, wrap the ribbon (Step #3) as outlined above and continue with the remaining steps to finish.
