Bold Masculine Cards with WOW! Heritage Quad & Nesting Dies
I’m so excited to be joining WOW! Embossing Powder for their latest Celebration Hop, highlighting the brand-new Seth Apter “Heritage Quad”—available now!
This special Designer collaboration features four richly textured, earthy-toned embossing powders that perfectly reflect Seth’s signature mixed media aesthetic. Whether you’re into vintage layers, grungy texture, or industrial tones, the Heritage Quad adds bold, dimensional detail to any card or mixed media project.

🧑🔧 Masculine Cards You’ll Actually Want to Make
Let’s be honest—masculine cards can be tough. But today I’m sharing 3 bold and stash-friendly designs using triangle nesting dies and WOW! embossing powder techniques that make masculine cards fun again.
All three projects use pieces of handmade mixed media paper created with the new Heritage Quad powders. The deep, textured colors make the triangle die cuts really pop—especially when layered up with a little dimension.
✨ Bonus: I’ll also show you how to substitute items from your own stash so you can recreate the look even if you don’t have the exact products in my new video!! Watch here: https://youtu.be/yZ9kpvJE59Y

Each card uses a different layout, but they all use the same basic formula:
- Triangle nesting dies (you can swap in circles or rectangles!)
- Heat embossing on cardstock scraps to create custom texture
- Clean sentiments and simple embellishments to keep things masculine
I even brought in a few Altenew staples from my stash to finish the look—these supplies mix beautifully with the WOW! powders to give that extra polished feel.


🎥 The video tutorial is out today!
