I couldn't help myself…just had to go there with a Lumberjack card using the Handsomely Suited Bundle. Again, this was one of the cards I featured at my DOstamperSTARS virtual customer event in January. To say the least…it was a hit!
Now – at first look, the card may seem complicated. But after I lay it out for you, you'll find it's pretty straight forward. And…you're gonna want to make one for the burly man in your life!
How'd She DO That? Lumberjack card

- Bumblebee (scrap for 2 suspender strips)
- Cajun Craze (scrap for 2 suspender clips)
- Misty Moonlight (3/4" x 4-1/4", scrap for 2 suspender strips)

DOstamping Tips:
- Stamp both Poppy Parade pieces with Buffalo Check stamp set:
- For the "shirt" piece:
- measure down 1" from the top center, and then 1-3/8" from each side (mark with a pencil). Use Paper Snips to cut a "V",
- adhere shirt to folded card base.
- Use the 2nd stamped piece:
- die cut two suspender strips. Adhere to center of shirt and up the left side of the "V" (trim off excess)
- die cut collar and cut apart. Adhere with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- For Misty Moonlight "pants":
- Adhere piece to bottom of card.
- Die cut two suspender strips – cut each down to 2-1/4".
- Adhere to top of pants (overlapping in the center)
- For buttons and suspenders:
- Adhere buttons on shirt and pants with Mini Glue Dots.
- Adhere suspenders to shirt (trim off excess at the top)
- Adhere suspenders clips with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- For the "shirt" piece:
- Stamp sentiment on scrap of white and die cut with smallest Stitched Shapes square. Adhere with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I was giddy with delight when I finished this card. I can't wait to give it to my Dad for Father's Day.
Don't have a "Lumber-Jack" person in your circle of friends/family? Just change out the sentiment and make a Lumber-Jill to give to one of your girlfriends!
In the meantime, you might want to add to your shopping card; the Handsomely Suited Bundle, soon to be retired Buffalo Check stamp set and Stitched Shapes Dies (a retiring must-have).
