I am at Altenew today and I have a tip with the MISTI sharing an easy way to create a ‘Hidden Sentiment’. I ‘needed’ a birthday card for my husband and though he is not one to celebrate, I thought that I couldn’t let this one go by without a little recognition.
I started by stamping my own graphic background using some squares from the Simple Shapes XL and Building Blocks Stamp Sets.
I die cut the sentiment with the Caps Bold Alpha letters which I think are perfect for a masculine design (or female designs too lol). As a final touch I added a Speech Bubbles sentiment.
I did have some fun pulling this one together and I have a video to show you just how that happened.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.
I’ve linked all of the products that I used below or you can head to Altenew and find them there. Have a great and hopefully crafty day, Hugs

Your card is really beautiful, I love the colors selected !
Loved your video and always happy to get help and ideas for masculine cards. I recently purchased the bold alphabet dies and the bold numbers dies and they are wonderful. Love how you used them. Note to self. LOL Have a wonderful day and thanks for the post and video.
awesome! love it Therese!
You are so creative!!
Love this and the video tutorial; I am so inspired by Altenew products at the moment. :O)
I love the way you laid out the squares. Therese, and the colors you used. Wonderful masculine card.
Such a great card! I’m going to need some 5-0 cards this year and this is so versatile. Change the colours for a feminine card or use circles! Thanks for sharing! Oh, and happy birthday to your husband!
Cool and graphic and oh so stylish, Therese … the geometric shapes are perfect with those bold alphas … and those colours are so gorgeous! Happy Birthday to your DH … momentous occasion! Hugs, Anita 🙂
Stunning designs and I love the colour combo too..really perfect for masculine cards and that’s I great technique too, a hidden sentiment. X
Wow! I love this card and you are so clever for adding that bit of dark gray cardstock behind the bottom of each word, I would have never thought of that and it makes all the difference in the world. I am going to try this technique soon! TFS
So cool. What a great design. I bet he’s gonna love it.
I am so gonna try this with my MISTI…amazing card…pls. pass on my birthday wishes to your hubby…I’m sure he loved your awesome card..!! 🙂
I just watched it over – absolute brilliance 😀
An absolutely fabulous male card Therese. Super colour choice and genies with the strips of grey. Love those big letters and the little cut out sentiment.
Fabulous card! Looking forward to the video just a bit later.
Oh this is so crazy cool Therese. Absolutely brilliant.
Love this card! Thank you for the video.
Cool card 🙂 And thanks for the die cutting tip. I’ve just bought a Gemini machine and I find the dies can shift, even when taped down. I’ll give that trick a try next time!
Fab card. Might need to CASE this one. We seem to be heading into that era! Hope hubby had a great birthday.
