Guy Stuff

Posted On: 15. 03. 16

I taught a class recently that was all about the guys we love.  Husbands, fathers, boyfriends, sons, grandsons, grandfathers, pastors, nephews, you name them and we created a card for them.  LOL We used Guy Greetings,  The Wilderness Awaits and Traveler Stamp Sets, to create some great masculine cards.

Here are a few of them.

Sale-a-bration ~ Big Day Stamp Set

WMTopNoteHB_3-001

I have to give a shout out and credit to the lovely and uber talented, Tamara Overbeek, for the design of this stylish card.  I  CASED a card of hers that she posted online. 🙂  Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

In fact, I loved it so much I made several, in different colours.  Here they are in  Island Indigo, Daffodil Delight and Strawberry Slush. To add colour to the line art stamps, I simply coloured them in with the matching markers, II, DD and SS. Isn’t that quick and easy?  Designer Series Paper from the All Abloom DSP Stack is cut out with the Top Note Die, for the bottom layer. I always, always, always, use Stampin’ Up Whisper White cardstock to stamp on. Did you know that it used to be called Ultrasmooth white?  It has a silky smooth texture and ink dries on it like a dream, quickly and without smearing. My black ink is Memento Tuxedo Black which dries quickly, is fade resistant and acid free.

I punched out the ice cream stamp and a matching tag, layered them and used Linen Thread to tie them to the card. ( Note: the punch I used is now retired but you could easily swap out another punch, like the Scallop Oval or the Decorative Label).  As an added bonus, the linen thread coordinates with the Crumb Cake base layer.

I  hope you like these cards.  Thanks again to Tamara! Remember to inspire, create and share!

WMHiCard-001

This card embraces a trend right now to highlight white space and not fill up every space on the card with embellishments, stamping or embossing.  This technique keeps things simple and clean, a look that really appeals to me.  What do you think of this card?

There is very little stamping, in fact, only one stamp was used from the Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set.  Stamp that one striped stamp in black then add three pieces of coordinating Sweet Sadie Washi Tape.  The Hi Bubble was created with two sets of dies, Chalk Talk Framelits dies and the Little Letters Thinlits, along with your trusty Big Shot machine.  A few other accessories used were the Bitty Butterfly Punch, Basic Gray Baker’s Twine and Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Let me know if you recreate this card or a version of this card. I would love to hear from you.
