Industrial HELLO Card | Masculine Card

So, there I was, going through a box of stuff, when I pulled out a package of big letter stickers from Michael's, circa "God Only Knows".  I'm trying to clean out and use things I find in my stash, and I had to make something with these.  But what?  They are masculine,  industrial-looking letters.  Hmmm.... 

Got it!  A masculine, industrial-looking "Hello" card! You can make this in about 10 minutes if you have some alphabet stickers too.  

First, my card base.  I made a 3.25" x 8.25" slimline card by cutting a piece of black cardstock, 6.5" x 8.25".  Then I scored at 3.25" on the short side, and burnished well.  

I used a 3" x 8" stitched slimline rectangle die to die-cut one of the sheets in the Bauhause 8" x 8" Collection from Stamperia, which you can find at Frantic Stamper (at the time this blog was posted).  I wanted a masculine background paper, and this one sheet was perfect with the different fonts and black and white feel.  I adhered a piece of black fun foam to the back and then to the card front.  

 

Next, I removed the letters I needed, the H-E-L-L and O, and, because they were very flimsy and thin, I adhered each of them to a thick piece of black cardstock and trimmed off the excess.  Then I used black foam tape to adhere them to the card front.  I also cut a piece of white cardstock and adhered it inside the card where my message can be written.

  

The card is done.  I hope you have enjoyed this super-easy and fast card idea.  Until next time...

Hugs from Brasil.
