Fear not my creative friends! The Well Suited Suite is here (side note the stamp set and dies are in the new Annual catalogue as well but not the bundle nor the coordinating goodies) for a little longer, and it's the perfect solution we've been searching to find for those hard-to-create masculine cards. This suite is ideal for masculine birthdays, Father's day, and a few more unexpected uses, too.
Obviously, the shirts and suits you'll build with this set are going to be a hit, but what about using the suit dies with Basic White to create a lab coat, or with Night of Navy to create scrubs cards for your favourite nurse. Use it to create wedding cards with black tuxedos and move the "V" of the jacket dies up to create a V-neck wedding dress with embossed Basic White cardstock and Pearl Jewel details.
The possibilities really are endless. I look forward to seeing what you create with this unique set!
Check out this card from The January - June mini catalogue The suite was used with a few extra supplies to creates layers of texture with stamped images, a popped-up frame technique, twine, and stamped Designer Series Paper.
