Masculine Birthday

Masculine cards are always a challenge.  I had some left over design paper (unknown) and went with those colors.  I also have been trying to use up some old "In Color" paper and ink.  The card base is Blue Bayou and for added interest I added some Sahara Sand cardstock for layering.  The b is for birthday (SU Party Hearty Stamp Set)  is stamped in Blue Bayou, stamped again onto Sahara Sand with Versamark and used Clear embossing powder and used a circle punch to cut it out and then used a dimensional to pop it up.  This creation went to my father-in-law for his birthday last week!

Have a great weekend everyone and thanks for stopping by :-)

Celebrate!

 

I am trying to use up as much scrap paper as I can. I hate to see paper go to waste. The DSP is SU's Autumn Vine on Baja Breeze cardstock. Image is stamped onto watercolor paper with black Stazon and then used SU Classic Inks with the Shimmer paint on the frosting. I did several layers to give it some depth, corner rounder and scallop edge punch for added interest and chocolate chip ribbon. It still looked like it needed something so I added some faux stitching.

Kindness

Did a case from Stampin' Success magazine, I just changed it up a little bit as I did not have the new stamp set from the Occasions Mini - I (Heart) Hearts.  Used the heart from the Love You Much set and punches to recreate the case.  Using Boho Backgrounds & Itty Bitty Backgounds on the hearts with Clear embossing powder.  I really like this color combo on the Whisper White, it really makes the colors pop!

Thanks for stopping by :-)

The Last Christmas Card!

This is the card I gave to the Nurse Practioner that I work with everyday.  This is my masterpiece of the season!  A little bit of everything going on with this card.  The snowlady was stamped on watercolor paper with black stazon and watercolor with my SU Classic Inks.  The snow at the bottom is called Snow-Tex and I sprinkled MS Crystal Coarse Glitter onto it while it was still wet.  The candy cane was stamped with black stazon onto Whisper White cardstock.  I filled it in with Stickles Glitter Glue and cut it out when it was dry.  The shimmer effect was created by using Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint.  I mixed it with rubbing alcohol and put it in a spray bottle.  The alcohol dries faster and the cardstock does not warp from getting wet!  The faux fur on the Snowlady was achieved by using Polar White Flowersoft.
