For the Boys

Masculine Monday is the challenge du jour at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration. I decided to play along with this manly thank you card.

Stampin' Up!'s Soho Subway Designer Series Paper lends itself really well to masculine cards. I am hoping that we have an equally masculine DSP in the next catalog (which I'll find out tonight at the catalog premiere!). Both the Early Espresso ribbon and Soho Subway DSP are retiring, and are currently still available. Click the images below to order them before they are sold out.

I decided to keep the card simple since most of the men I know aren't in to frilly and over-the-top. The card went together very quickly because of this. The rectangle sizes are: 2" x 3-1/2", 2-1/2" x 4", and 3" X 4-1/2". The layers underneath each of them are just a quarter of an inch bigger than each one.

Please stop back in tomorrow. I have a much more girly card to share with you.

Washi Tape Background

Happy Tuesday! I hope you are having a great week so far.

Today I created my own background paper out of Washi Tape for my card. This is a great technique to do if you don't have "just the right" patterned paper that you want to use on your project. I love the colors and patterns in the Retro Fresh Washi Tape now available in the Occasions Mini Catalog. I still had the Bermuda Bay on my craft table from yesterday's card, and it pairs so well with the Tangerine Tango.

I also wanted to give my flower a little pop, so I used a Blender Pen with the Tangerine Tango ink pad to color the folds in the petals.

Supplies used:
  Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Bermuda Bay, Very Vanilla
  Stamp sets: Secret Garden, Another Thank You
  Ink: Chocolate Chip, Tangerine Tango, Bermuda Bay
  Accessories: Retro Fresh This & That Designer Washi Tape, Blender Pen
  Tools: Paper Trimmer, Simply Scored, Bone Folder
  Adhesive: SNAIL

Thanks for stopping in today. Make sure to come back tomorrow. There's something big happening that you won't want to miss!

12 Cards of Christmas- Day 12

Well now that a majority of the Christmas celebrating is over, it may be time to be done with Christmas cards. At least for the next six months or so! However, I got some fabulous gifts from my families that I need to send thank yous for. Here is the thank you I made to send out this year.

 

This card features the emboss resist technique. I embossed the Thank You on white cardstock with clear embossing powder; then sponged on the real red ink. The embossed portion will resist the ink, leaving your cardstock color showing. 

I hope you have enjoyed the series. Please let me know which card was your favorite and what inspired you the most! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas full of love and light. 

Supplies used:

  Cardstock: Whisper White, Coastal Cabana

  Stamp Set: Another Thank You (photopolymer)

  Ink: Versamark, Real Red

  Accessories: Clear embossing powder, Sponge Dauber, Northern Flurries Embossing Folder, Deco     Labels framelits

  Tools: Big Shot, Heat Tool
