Stippled Blossoms & Butterfly Thank You


I know you've heard me say it so many times before, but it's always true. I need more Thank You cards! So here's another one for you to see.


This card would also make a great Mother's Day card! Or birthday card.  Wouldn't this also look lovely in any number of colours?! I might try that.


Below, you can see what I did on the inside of the card.


As I did on the front of the card, I smudged a bit of Marina Mist with my sponge, to add a bit of colour. You can see what I used, below.

Thank you so much for stopping by again, today. Happy stamping!

4th "Guy Greetings" Card

Using anchors on a card is something very appropriate for someone living in Victoria, BC. I know it will be one of the stamps of this set that I will use over and over again. I made two different cards using the same stamps and colours, and decided to use this one.

I'll show the other one at a later date. I know this one calls for more fussy cutting, but I just can't help myself. I love the look of cut out pieces that are layered. Lets have a look at the layers.



I wish they had "Son" in this stamp set so I could use it for my sons.

I think the Night of Navy goes beautifully with the Sahara Sand, especially for a masculine card. Let's look at the inside of the card now.


So there you have it! To see what I used check below. I'd like to try using this stamp set with Marina Mist, so you might see that at a later date too!What has this inspired you to create?

3rd "Guy Greetings" Card

Have you ever tried stamping with Cherry Cobbler onto Basic Gary? (bottom of the card) It looks very sophisticated and masculine. I was pleased that my idea worked so well, and will have to remember this combo for future projects.


Personally, I'm wishing that I hadn't inked the edges of the automobile piece with Cherry Cobbler, but I still really like the card overall. Love those hats and will make some more cards using them later. I also need to get a Stamp-A-Ma-Jig! It would make stamping the back ground hats much easier!


I used Very Vanilla on this card rather than Whisper White and was glad I did so. I think it lends itself better to a vintage vibe, as well as a bit more masculine.


And the inside....


Well, I'm enjoying making these masculine cards and hope that you are enjoying looking at them. I wish that this stamp set had 'Son' in with the other masculine roles, because with sons I could really use it.

Hope you are inspired to start creating some of your own masculine cards.

2nd "Guy Greeting" Card

It's great fun when you get into the masculine card making groove and a concept you have works out just great. Here's one that requires a bit of extra work, but creates a little different look to a card for any man in your life.


Do you like creating pattern backgrounds with your stamps? All the stamps in this set, even the text, make up for great background stamping.


Love how the vintage car looks like it's coming out from the hole.


And the inside...


There are a couple more cards to come, so be sure to check back and take a look. That's it for this card. Thank you for checking it out.

Sneak Peeks & My First "Guy Greetings" Card

Two things for today's post!  A new card, and a new sneak peek of the new Annual Catalogue cover and a list of the new In-Colours!

Today I am starting to showcase some cards using the "Guy Greeting" stamp collection. These cards you will see over the next few days will also me the cards we will be making for our June Stamp of the Month Card Class the first week of June. Just in time for Father's Day!

I created three horizontal strips. The top strip is of course for the "Gorgeous Grunge" stamps set and the text strip from the "Guy Greetings" stamp set and the stripes at the bottom are created using the "Dots & Stripes Decorative Mask" set with Soft Suede ink pad and Sponge Daubers.


In this next photo you can see the tag created with the "Ornate Tag Topper Punch" and the "Guy Greetings" stamp set.


You can see the layering next.


And, on the inside I decided to use text, off stamping, to add a little something.




Once all fours cards have been posted, you will be able to find the cost of the class on my website Event page, and RSVP.

Now it's time for a sneak peak of the new Annual Catalogue cover, and names of the new 2015 - 2017 In Colours!

The new In-Colours are :
  • Watermelon Wonder
  • Cucumber Crush
  • Delightful Dijon
  • Mint Macaroon
  • Tip Top Taupe
So looking forward to being able to show you the catalogue when the time comes! Some great new things are in store for you.

Come tomorrow to see the next card we'll be making!

Happy Stamping!
