Rev Up the Fun!

• The card base is Whisper White CS.
• I ran a 4" x 3 1/4" Baked Brown Sugar CS through the Big Shot in the Houndstooth Embossing Folder I attached it to a 4" x 3" piece of Whisper White over lapping them so that the finished size was 4" x 5 1/4" Front for the card base.
• I inked up the car from Rev Up the Fun with Real Red and the colored the wheels with the Black Marker. I used a Q-tip to remove the red from the hub caps and colored them Smoky Slate, I then stamped it on the White Panel. I inked up the phrase with Pacific Point and stamped it under the car.
• I stamped the banner from Hearts a Flutter once in Real Red, twice in Pacific Point stamping the on Whisper White CS and cutting them with the Hearts a Flutter Framelit. I made narrow banner from Daffodil Delight CS. I stamped the tread mark twice on a strip of Whisper White and attached the banners to it.
• I punched an opening in the Baked Brown Sugar CS then layer it over the card base and using Real Red Ink I stamped the greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes. I the added Dimensional to the back of the Front and added it to the base.

I thought that the card turned out to be a fun Boy/Man Birthday card.

I have started updating my fall class schedule so make sure you check out the class tab at the top of the blog.

Using It Up...

A masculine card is often difficult for me to do. This might qualify.

• Card base River Rock with a DSP Stack front in River Rock as well.
• From my scraps I found squares and rectangles from DSP Stacks and CS that went well together. I sponged the edges with the corresponding ink. Then layered them on the card front.
• On a piece of Whisper White CS I stamped the phrase from Delightful Dozen in Versamark and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I sponged Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Always Artichoke, and River Rock(same colors as the papers) over the words to bring them out. I then punched it out with the2 1/2" Circle Punch, then I popped it up in the center with Dimensionals.

This was a good way to use up some scraps!

Masculine Birthday

I thought this would make a great birthday card for a man. . .

• The card base is River Rock with a front of Early Espresso.
• The DSP is a piece of 3 3/4"x5" Well Worn (my favorite DSP)
• Using markers I colored(River Rock, Soft Suede, and Early Espresso) a stamp from Delightful Dozen and stamped it onto a piece of Confetti White. I cut it out the Label Framelit the sponged the edges with Early Espresso. I layered it onto a piece of Soft Suede, with Dimensionals, that was cut with the next larger Framelite.

So what do you think? A great man card?

Simple and Masculine

I needed some quick to make Birthday cards, this is what I came up with.

• Card base is Whisper White, with a front of Early Espresso 
• A piece of 3 3/4" x 5" Whisper White, place about 3 1/2" in the stripes folder and run through the Big Shot.
• Using Early Espresso ink I stamped Happy Birthday from Perfectly Penned in the flat area.
• Knot a quilted Early Espresso ribbon just under the words and layer onto the front.

Pretty quick to make.

Have a wonderful day!

Zoo Review

Zoo Review makes a great masculine card!

• The card base is Crumb Cake cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" folded in half with 1/2" from the front. A 1" x 5 1/2" piece of Well Worn DSP was added to the inside of the card! (This is my favorite DSP).
• The lion was stamped on Watercolor paper with Stazon and colored with Watercoclor Wonder Crayons and an Aqua Painter.
• The image was layered onto Cajun Craze and then Not Quite Navy.

Have a great day and go ahead and stamp something. . .

In Wilderness- Wolf

I realized I had never posted this card from my masculine card class from a few months ago.

• Card base is always Artichoke
• I cut Always Artichoke into 3 pieces so that when layered onto a front (4"x5 1/4") their was the same amount of Early Espresso showing(because I made this card months ago I don't have the measurements). I ran the pieces of Always Artichoke through the Big Shot in the Square Lattice folder.  After layering the Always Artichoke onto the card front I attached 3 Jumbo Eyelets with the Crop-a-dile.  I added this to the card base.
• On a square of Watercolor paper I stamped the Wolf head with stazon and colored it with Watercolor Wonder Crayons and an Aqua Painter.  I then layered it on Always Artichoke and again on Early Espresso and centering it on the card.

I hope you have a wonderful day and find time to do a little stamping.

Birthday Bliss

Today is my second daughters 23rd Birthday, Happy Birthday Jamie! This card is available to make on my Open Studio Tuesdays.

• The card base is Sahara Sand, with 1/2" cut off the card front, distressed the edge and added a 1" strip of Blueberry Crisp paper showing from the inside.
• I stamped the phrase from Birthday Bliss 3 times lining up it up with the stamp-a-ma-jig so that it looks like one long phrase. I colored the stamp with Not Quite Navy and Pacific Point Markers stamping onto Very Vanilla CS. After stamping I ran the paper through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice folder. The phrase is mounted on Not Quite Navy CS.

So this isn't the card I will be giving my daughter (too masculine I think) I'll have to work on one today. Hope You like today's card, let me know what you think of it. Remember to check out my retired sale on the sidebar.

Motorcycle- done again

A simple card for an upcoming masculine card class.

• I cut up a map of Utah/Nevada and stamped the motorcycle with Versamark and embossed it with Black Embossing Powder.
• I mounted it on Real Red and again on Not Quite Navy.
• The card base is Crumb Cake.

Easy card. Hope you like it.

Motorcycle

This card uses a few things from the new Summer Mini from Stampin' UP!
The image is a sold single stamp called Motorcycle, the card front was run through the Big Shot with a new impressions folder called Square Lattice, and the third from the mini is the cogs punch with the new punch Extra Large Cogs Double, how's that for a name?

I stamped the image with Stazon on Watercolor paper and colored with markers, blended with Aqua Painters. I matted the image with Real Red and Basic Black CS. Party Hearty comes from the set of the same name, stamped in Real Red and punched out with the Word Window mounted on a Basic Black Modern Label punched piece.

This could be either a teenage boy birthday card or change the phrase and make for any occasion you need a masculine card.
