Masculine Cards

Do you have a hard time coming up with masculine cards? Stampin' Up! has several sets that work great for guy cards.

Here's two cards I made using Stampin' Up!


 
Sets I used are Open Sea and By the Tide. I also used some embossing folders to make the wood piece and added bakers twine to give more dimension.
 
Oh I really like the new chalk technique. Stamp on Basic Black cardstock with Whisper White ink. Smear a little across the cardstock and it looks like a chalk board.
 
Email if you want to order the supplies to make this.

Sweet cookies stamped by my girls

Image
This is just amazing! I was able to pre order the new cookie press stamp set and I love it! I was able to check it out at convention but actually watching my two girls use it and make cookies was so much fun. Here's a short video with my girls using the stamps. They really had fun. Plus the cookies came out great! Look at them after they baked. Here's the link to the recipe: Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies These cookies tasted way better than the ones that they shared with us at convention. Those cookies needed about a pound of sugar added to them. LOL. These ones melt in your mouth. So yummy. If you are interested in buying this stamp set let me know and also visit my events page to find out about my upcoming class using it. Thanks for looking.

Fall SUO Challenge

Image
Okay here's my card for the SUO challenge. I hope I get in the top three but I have some stiff competition. I used the stamp set Just Believe and the hostess set Punch Potpourri. Paper: Cajun Craze, Peach Parfait, Soft Suede, Whisper White and packing paper Ink: Cajun Craze marker, Soft Suede marker, Peach Parfait Ink Pad. Accessories: Hemp Twine, Two Step Bird Punch, Scallop Square Extra-Large Punch, Top Note Die and Pearl jewels Pretty cool huh? I thought it came out good. I wanted to add a saying on the card and started by making a scallop sqare with a circle in the middle with the word "freind" in th center. I tried placing it all over this card but didn't like how big it was and took up too much of the card. So then I ended up making a 3 x 3 card for it to go on. Lookie: If you are wondering how we have two sizes of the scallop square I have to admit that we only have one size. But come back tomorrow and I'll show you how I did it. They look great t...

Punch art crazy!

Image
Okay I just had to share this card with everyone. I'm very proud of it. It took me forever to figure out how to do some of the shapes but I finally did it. This card was for my friend's husband who turned 40 today. He is a serious cyclist. Every weekend he does 60-120 miles on his bike. I'm lucky if I ride my bike around the loop. I remembered seeing a punch art of a cyclist on a blog and since I don't have a stamp of a bike or anything close to it I decided to do punch art. I found the website (click here if you want to see it) with the image and did my best to copy it. I changed the colors to make it personal. Everyone was impressed by the card. I have to say that I rather make that card than ride 60 miles on a bike but I think I'll just look at the picture if I ever want to see it again. LOL. Here's the card: I will not go into details but if you want to know how I did it let me know and I'll try to talk you through it. LOL. Here's another swap ...
