Cards for Guys

 


It's been a while since I've posted for the fun of it, and I needed to do a handful of 'guy'
cards, so.... hope you enjoy. There's a lot to see! The Greetery's newest release has sets
with masculine vibes, just what I was looking for!


Dad Jokes: High Steaks... together with the new stencil set, Tartan Plaid.
Don't know about yours, but the guys in my family love their steaks rare, so this 
set of cards is double whammy!


The fork through the steak, how cute is that?!


And matching Steak Knife too!


June is full of birthdays, graduations, and anniversaries for this family. 
I have fallen in love with the Reflections set. 


This one for a grandson turning 21.
FYI: I added tree branches through the trees, and then onto the water's reflection
with copics. The numbers were treated with Lindy's Stamp Gang Moon Shadow Mist.


The thank you card and matching envelope are for a dear friend.


Seriously, how does she do it! The Big Plans Background stamp is brilliant! Betsy's 
brilliant mind thinks of everything. We have 4 builders in our family, and this stamp
sets the stage for a man builder's card!


Nailed It says it all. 




One last photo of a card done for the Card Concept Challenge.

OK, finally done, although there's more to do. Fortunately have lots left over to
do them!

Another Birthday?


Getting in on the NBUS fun with Darnell


and her 12th NBUS Challenge.
I couldn't let this one get by, always have played along,
and couldn't miss posting a funny made for my husband's birthday.


Bonnie Krebs and her fun loving images just get me.

Darnell, thank you for the bonus day! 
PS, you have a few more hours to play along!
Hurry! There's prizes!

MIM #216: Adding Color to Cover Plates


Mondays are full of inspiration and instruction.
Laura Bassen has a wonderful video on Papertrey this morning,
showing us how to wow with our cover plates!


My baby boy turns 37 tomorrow!
He loves all things wood, and I found some wood paper I knew would be perfect
for him.
It's actual wood on card stock, and takes ink sponged on just like staining wood!

MIM #189: Impression Line Water Coloring


Played with some new dies and Erin's MIM video 
on Impression Line Water Coloring.

Her lovely bloom was perfection, but I needed a masculine 
birthday card, which I always put off making.


I impressed Star Shaker die, and a star that's in the set, and included the confetti star maker.
The center of the star cut out when I ran it through, but I liked it, so I added some
glitter to a piece from Make It Market, Shakers & Sprinkles Pattern Pack.
I actually had Twinkling H2O's, which gave the neatest sheen to the stars.
'Shine' was cut from Sparkle and Shine Words and a glitter paper I found at Michael's.
Sketched Stars cut from shimmer gold.
