More Guy Greetings

Posted on May 14, 2015May 11, 2015 by Josee

Good Morning!

Thanks for dropping by today! I've got another great masculine card to share today! Today's card uses Guy Greetings. You've probably seen alot of this set lately, and for a good reason- it is an amazing set for creating masculine cards! Not only does it have many images to reflect whatever your guy is into, it contains a lot of sentiments for almost any occasion! Well worth the cost of the stamp set! I think it's a stamp set you can use over and over again. 

guy greetings

As you can see on this card, the images can be used to create gorgeous backgrounds too! 

Here are the supplies used on this card:

Measurement:

  • Hello Honey:  8 ½” x 5 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”; ½” x 3 ¾”
  • Very Vanilla:  5 1/8” x 2 ½”, 3” x 3” (for circle punch)
  • Basic Gray:  3” x 3” (for starburst circle)

Instructions:

  1. Stamp antique car on 3” x 3” piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, then punch out using 2 ½” circle punch.
  2. Cut starburst circle using Framelits and Big Shot.  The middle size fits perfectly behind the 2 ½” circle punch!
  3. On the 5 1/8” x 2 ½” piece of vanilla, stamp the antique car randomly.  Stamp 2-3 times before re-inking your stamp, to create a nice background.
  4. Stamp sentiment on strip of Hello Honey, then cut banner tails.
  5. Adhere all parts of your card!  I used Snail adhesive on all but the sentiment—stampin’ dimensionals were used for that!
  6. Mail to a friend, and make his day!

Thanks for stopping by! I'll be back tomorrow with another one!

Happy Mother’s Day weekend :)

Posted on May 8, 2015May 9, 2015 by Josee

Hello! 

I hope you enjoyed our blog hop yesterday and got some great ideas for masculine cards! Since it's Mother's Day this weekend though, I thought I would share some ideas for Mother's Day cards, just in case you still need to make one or two wink

Butterfly basics monochramatic

Pictured above is a simple monochramatic look. 

  • Change the sentiment on this one or this one, and I think it could be a great Mother's Day card. 
  • Get a little creative with your dies and make something like this
  • A few fun techniques: Nobody Loves Like Mom or Bokeh Hearts ðŸ™‚
  • A great collection of cards here using Mother's Love
  • Another great card here and here, to show how thankful you are to mom 🙂
  • This is a great idea if you have a small gift for Mom or a gift card.

Well, I hope you are inspired to get Stampin'! Have a wonderful weekend! If you are a mom, I hope you get spoiled 🙂 and if you have your mom to celebrate with, hug her tight!  Enjoy!

And hey! if you a crafty mom, you could treat her to a girls' weekend! Check out the Crafty Girls Retreat! Or why not add it to your wish list wink
