Magical Day

This card was inspired by TCP challenge #209: M is for.... Magic! I hadn't inked my Presto! set yet, so I pulled it out and paired it with some leftover papers I had from a scrapbook page (which I will share later) on my work desk. 

I really like how this one turned out. And to think those papers are from a Halloween collection! If you forego the owls and other creepy-crawlies, the paper can work for a generic theme like a birthday. I really like the mix of Bashful Blue and Cajun Craze. Not colours I would have thought to pair, but they work!

I had to create my own handwritten and handstamped sentiment because I didn't have what I wanted already available. It translates to "Hope you have a magical day!" I used a sparkly gel pen to add detailing on the papers (pennant string, etc.).

#1 Dad

*Featuring retiring stamp Many Mustaches and Just Eat Cake DSP*

I am really sad to see the mustache stamp go. I've had a lot of fun using it! Here, I tried a technique I had wanted to pair with this stamp ever since getting it: add flocking on it to give it texture!

The background papers are all from the Just Eat Cake DSP pack, which I can only assume will also retire at the end of the current catalogue since it includes retired In Colors. The word "dad" was punched out of the white letter paper. The #1 was die-cut using the Go Go Boots alphabet dies out of Silver glimmer paper. I added a piece of Poppy Parade ribbon (also retiring) and was done.

This would make a great birthday or Father's Day card.

Fly Away on Your Day

This card was inspired by the TCP #206 challenge, which was an inspiration piece. When I saw the mail in the picture, I remembered some Primas paper scraps I had leftover from a page that would be perfect for this theme. I went hunting for them and decided to sort through my patterned papers while I was at it. Paper might be my most disorganized supply, even though I love it and use it all the time. I decided to keep it in craft organizers by company. We'll see if that works better for me...

Anyway, back to the card. I looked at my stamps to see what could work with the theme and settled on the bunny in the hot air balloon. The design was based on the Pals Paper Arts sketch #133. I framed the patterned paper with red baker's twine using eyelets in each corner to anchor the twine. The "pack your bags" stripe was cut directly from the patterned paper and framed on each side with the red pleated ribbon sold in the Occasions mini.

The sentiment reads, "It's your day" (from last year's SAB set) and was embossed with navy powder on Confetti White cardstock, then I used stamp edge deco scissors to cut off the end, and I colored the letters with my Lucky Limeade marker. I created a stamp out of cardstock with the 1'' Square punch and the Stamp punch to add underneath, and I wrapped the sentiment stripe around the baker's twine.

I added a jumbo button on the hot air balloon and stamped a post mark (from the Winter Post set) on the edge of the card.

Birthday Mosaic

*Featuring the retiring set Trendy Trees*

I'm a little sad to see Trendy Trees go - I really like those adorable trees! Here, I stamped one of the trees on our wooden sheets and punched the image out with a circle punch.

The background was created using the Faux mosaic technique. I used a sheet of sticky sheet glued down on a piece of cardstock, placed randomly cut pieces of patterned paper over it (great technique to use paper scraps and finish those paper packs up!) and then covered the cracks with embossing powder.

The sentiment, from the Curly Cute set, was embossed on vellum and layered over a piece of blue cardstock. I wrapped a piece of linen thread around the top and added a piece of Tango Tangerine pompom trim at the bottom (from last year's Occasions mini - I think that trim is still available in the Clearance Rack if you'd like to get some).

All Aboard!

This card was inspired by the Cat's Pajamas sketch #205. It was unique and different and it immediately inspired me to give it a try. Time is short this week, but I did steal a couple of hours to make this card.

You'll notice I used the Big Top Birthday patterned papers but transformed them a little by coloring in certain parts with markers. I used the Turquoise and Red diamond paper and added some yellow diamonds using my Daffodil Delight marker. I also added sparkle to some of the stars with a glittery gel pen.

The sentiment was pulled from the Loads of Love set - I just thought it fitted the image perfectly, and I always need more birthday cards on hand, anyway. The background was embossed with the Stripes embossing folder in keeping with the circus theme.

Sweater Boy

This is a card I made a few weeks ago to add to my box of cards for sale I keep at the office. I never seem to have enough masculine cards on hand - those sell as soon as they hit the box.

This stamp set includes both a boy and a girl, but I bought it specifically because I thought the little boy was adorable and would help me crank out a few more masculine cards. I found those papers in my stash that had just the right colours and patterns to pair with it and in no time, this card was born.

I am happy to report I managed to use three snaps in the top right corner - those have been sitting in my stash forever and a day! I'm pretty sure they were part of my very first order when I discovered scrapbooking. I didn't even have anything to set them with and then once I got the tools (a hammer and a setter - that was pre-silent setters day), I found the mini snaps really really hard to set and so darn loud! I tend to scrapbook at night, so not a happy combination! Now that I have my trusty Crop-a-Dile, setting those is a piece of cake. They lie forgotten in a drawer somewhere, though...

I particularly like how well the Riding Hood Red pleated satin ribbon and Basic Grey corduroy brad mesh with the papers. Man, I wish those corduroy buttons were still around! I want to add them to everything, but at the same time, I don't want to deplete my stock too quickly because once they're gone, I can't restock! It boggles my mind that they didn't stay around longer - I guess they maybe weren't selling well enough? Apparently, I was the only one crazy about them... Bought every colour the minute they came out and restocked when they hit the Clearance Rack.

Speaking of which, new items have been added, so go over and take a look to see if there's anything you'd like on there!

Spotlight on Packed for Dad

I received the Packed for Everything set from SU! as a gift when the mini launched and even though I think the images are mighty cute, I am also a little intimidated by the amount of details in those images, which would take forever to color. One of the solutions I found was to pair them with the Spotlighting technique.

The other technique showcased on this card is the stamped embossing in the background. I ran the card base through the Big Shot using the Stripes embossing folder and once I was done, I overstamped the Netting image on the stripes to make them stand out. This works best using a background stamp that has a very tight pattern on it, as larger less crowded images will not make the embossed pattern stand out as well. You also have to be mindful of how much pressure you apply on the stamp, especially when working with the Stripes folder or else you'll get ink in the recessed area.

Le plus fort, c'est mon père...

This is a quick card I made using an image cut directly from the patterned paper called Big Top birthday. I thought I could use it to make a unique father's day card. I added a bit of Dazlling Details to the belt buckle and I first used Crystal Effects on the weight, but then thought I'd do a "Button Buddy" and add buttons instead.

The corners were punched with the Ticket Corner punch to match the circus theme. In the background, I matted my stripe of star paper with a stripe of Brushed Silver cardstock. For the sentiment, I stamped one of the mustaches from the Many Mustaches stamp in Tempting Turquoise, hand-cut and handwrote "My Dad is the strongest of them all" with a black marker.

At the top, I used two pennants from the On Board Merry Medley kit, covered with patterned paper (FYI: the pennant punch match the chipboard pieces perfectly!) and I added mini silver brads on each side.

Best Birthday Wishes

I drew inspiration for this card from the February Verve sketch #2 on SCS and the Colour Queen combo #125. I was short on time and decided I wanted to keep the design simple and I am actually happy with how that one turned out (which isn't always the case when I try to make something simple). I think this could make a great masculine birthday card.

I stamped the panels with the Every Little Bit set, which I hadn't used in a while. The gift were clear-embossed and the stars were silver-embossed. The fun sentiment comes from the Happiest Birthday Wishes hostess set. Isn't it fun? This set went straight on my wish list the minute I saw it. We can never have too many birthday sentiments, since those are the ones I use the most. I used markers to ink the various letters and I added a brad to dot the "i". Using the Mat Pack, I added a row of piercing underneath the sentiment. The background papers are from the Twitterpated paper pack.

The cQc colour combo uses Dusty Durango, which is now retired, but if you wanted to recreate the look, I would simply advise you swap this colour for Cajun Craze, which would look equally good. (I initially considered using this colour, but then I thought it would be a good opportunity to use my retired stash.)

Three brads lined up using the Mat Pack complete the look.

Happy St. Patty's!

Last week, I was looking through my clear-mounted stamps and notice I tend to forget about those since they are kept separately from my wood-mounted stamps (and I am still very much a wood-mount girl). So, I pulled out a couple of stamp sets that I hadn't used in a while and left them on my desk for future inspiration. One of those sets is Gift Givers, which was part of the last mini. I did use it a few times while the mini was still available, but I mainly focused on the winter images. I hadn't used the St. Patrick stamp yet and it is SOO cute that I wanted to make sure it had seen ink at least once.

Then, when I saw the February Verve sketch #4 on SCS, I thought it would work perfect with the circle image I was hoping to use. The sketch is very simple, so I knew I had to find a way to make the large background interesting somehow. Then came the idea to do a woven background using strips of various green papers, so I looked into my paper scraps and put this together, adding a couple of ribbons here and there.

The main image was stamped on watercolor paper in Black StazOn and watercolored with inks and a blending pen. Once everything was dry, I added a bit of Dazzling Details around the leprechaun to give him a "magical" look. I wanted to mat the image to give it more presence on the card, so I used the 2-3/8 Scallop Circle punch, but I thought it still looked a little bare, so I pulled the Lucky Limeade organza ribbon from the Everyday Enchantment SAB embellishments pack and used the Spirelli technique Suzanne showed us at our team Christmas party. (My team and I meet every month to share techniques and ideas. You should make sure to sign up during SAB to enjoy the wonderful promotion and join in the fun!) Then I added small pearls where the ribbon didn't cross.

Finally, I added a strip of cardstock to mimick the sketch. It felt a little bare so I was thinking of adding dry embossing with a folder but I thought it might be a little too much against the busy background. Then, I thought I could try to find a heart stamp to create a four-leaf clover. (In retrospect, as I am writing this, I realize I had a few shamrocks image in my collection, in last year's SAB set and in the Every Little Bit set. Duh!) Anyway, I couldn't find a small enough heart to recreate the look, but thought I could do it with the Heart to Heart punch and create a tone-on-tone, faux embossed look. So I stamped the background with the hearts from the Confetti set and then I assembled my shamrocks using the punched hearts, adding a stem with a marker. I tore the end of the strip and added a border punched with the Pinking Hearts punch, in Soft Suede. Then I went looking for a Happy St. Patrick's Day stamp and found one in the retired En toutes occasions (old hostess set). I thought we had one in the Teeny Tiny Wishes set, but apparently, the French version doesn't include it.

Once everything was put together, i added a last-minute detail by covering the shamrocks with Dazzling Details and I'm glad I did because it really gave life to the card.

I hope you'll all wear green on March 17th!

Hey There, Cowboy!

A work colleague requested a birthday card for a little boy who was turning three. She told me that little boy loves coybows, so that was a great excuse to get my retired Cowboy Kid set out. I don't think I could have predicted how much use I'd get out of that set when I first bought it. I find it's my main go-to set for masculine cards.

I looked through my papers for something bright since this card was destined for a kid and I found the retired Creative License Simply Scrappin' kit. I love those kits because they allow me to whip up a cute card in no time. This card took an hour at the most. The sentiment comes from the Petite Pairs set and was stamped on one of the die-cuts from the kit.

It Feels Like Gnome to Me

I'm finally back to stamping, after a two-week hiatus during the Holidays. I have been itching to ink the Gnome Sweet Gnome set from the Occasions mini, which I was lucky enough to get for free from SU! after taking part in the Book-a-Thon they did last December. Those gnomes are just so sweet, I was really happy to score a set for myself.

I drew inspiration from the Mojo Monday sketch and used one of the sentiments from the Effervescence set, one of the items that will be available for free during SAB. It says, "You make me glow," which is perfect with the lantern image. I was trying to decide how big a circle to punch around the sentiment and finally decided to layer those circles to make it look like a sun, which I think looks great! All of the patterned papers come from the Pocketful of Posies pack. I used the new scallop Edgelit die on the green paper at the bottom and used my snips to create a row of grass. The gnome was embossed with black powder on watercolor paper and die-cut using one of the new Framelits, then colored with inks. I added stitching using the new Island Indigo baker's twine around the pennant and added two glimmer brads. Simple, but cute. This could make a great masculine card.

Hope you like it and that it makes you look forward to Sale-a-Bration! Don't forget that the Occasions mini is now online, if you want to take a peek.

Oak Tree

I cannot take credit for this card's design. It has been entirely copied off of a creation from Teneale Williams, one of my favorite stampers. Teneale has an amazing eye for design and details and wonderful craftsmanship. We were lucky to have her on board on the Inkspirations DT and I have been following her on her blog ever since. 

This is one of her wonderful creations I had kept in my inspiration folder and the last time I needed a masculine card quickly, I decided to channel Teneale. I particularly liked how she had taken an old stamp set (Lovely as a Tree) we have already seen used time and time again and breathed new life into it. I inked it with markers and used an Aquapainter brush to blend the colours a little bit. The Always Artichoke also looks great paired with Vanilla and Chocolate Chip.

The striped paper comes from an older pack called Holiday Harmony and the newsprint paper from from the First Edition pack. Everything was inked for a shabby look and I used two pieces of twill side by side to create a wider ribbon, held in place with a Big Designer button (currently available in the Clearance Rack) and a piece of linen thread.

Best Mustache in Town

I sent a few cards for publication a few weeks ago and this one didn't make the cut. You probably can't tell from the picture, but the mustache has fuzz on it! I stamped the mustache in Basic Black Craft ink, pourred Heat 'n Stick on it, melted it and added velvet flocking on it. It looks very cool, if I may say so myself! 

The background paper is from the First Edition pack, and the Poppy Parade paper came from the Just Eat Cake pack. The sentiment, which was heat-embossed with black powder, was pulled from the Delightful Dozen set and I used a die from the Lots of Tags set to mat the sentiment. The trick to getting a double oval mat like I did is to handcut the center of the die following the dotted line (Vanilla) and add a mat (Black) punched with the Wide Oval punch. I added black satin ribbon and black glimmer brads and I was done.

Inkspirations #100 - You Rock!

This card was inspired by the Grunge Rock set, which I bought last Spring while it was on promotion and am sorry to admit it has only seen ink a couple of times. I first decided to use the guitar image, so I inked it with markers in various colours and then added some clear embossing on top.

Tip: The trick to embossed an image that has been colored with markers or Classic ink is to stamp your image and leave the stamp down on your paper. Then, before, removing it, you place the Stamp-a-Ma-Jig's placement guide in the corner of your stamp, lift it up without moving the SAMJ and you wash your stamp, then reink it in Versamark. Using the SAMJ and the corner of your stamp as a guide, overstamp the image in Versamark over your original one and add the clear embossing powder. Cool, huh?

The argyle design was stamped in Versamark on a piece of Wild Wasabi polka dot paper and embossed in Pewter powder. I had the Music Notes wheel out on my desk from another project and thought it would pair up nicely with the guitar. I know some of you unmount your wheels - I've done it myself with a couple of designs - but I have to say that here, using a wheel worked out in my favor, since it allowed me to give the music score some movement. I made sure to move the wheel up and down my paper while rolling. The music notes were also embossed with the Pewter powder.

The bottom of the designer paper was scuffed with the side of my paper folder and rolled up a bit. The paper and cardstock were sprayed with the air tool and a marker, and I added a row of Champagne glass glitter held in place with Sticky strip.

The sentiment was pulled from the Voeux multiples hostess set and stamped in Early Espresso.

Origami Fold Pocket Card

Seems I always learn some new technique or card fold whenever I take part in a VSN or challenge day. During DTGD week, it was the origami pocket fold. Totally fun and different, and a great way to showcase the beautiful Designer papers! (In this instance, I used a sheet of Nautical Adventures paper from the Summer mini.)

For this one, I knew I wanted to make a thank you card for my parents, who were a tremendous help with my bedroom makeover. Thank goodness my Dad was there, and thank goodness he's handy with tools!  I remembered the cute little hammer and nails from the Every Little Bit set - perfect for the occasion! I used it on the front diamond, which holds the front flap in place and keeps the pocket closed. I also used the silver mini brads (a new addition to the catalogue) to anchor the panel in place and stamped some stripes using the Solid Stripes stamp on my Night of Navy mat.

Inside, I used the thank you sentiment from the Hand-Penned Holidays set, embossed in Pewter as well. I stamped nails around my sentiment, using a marker to ink only the nails and omit the hammer on the image. Finally, I used two square punches to create corners that I added inside the card to decorate. I added some twill to the flap and a vintage brad on it. To simplify things, I cut the prongs off and added the brad to the project using a glue dot.

You'd like to learn how to make this card? This is one of the projects I'll be teaching at my upcoming Simply Scored class. Contact me for more info about it.

Tour de Freaks - Mini Mania!

 
 
 

Psst... If you are reading this post on the 19th, please note that we are getting the tour ready and testing the links to make sure everything is working. The official tour begins on the 20th, so if you cannot make the whole round tonight, hang in there with us!

   

Welcome to our August Tour de Freaks! This tour is brought to you by the Control Freaks Stampers members and if you have been following the tour, you should have gotten to my blog by clicking on the link provided by LeeAnn Greff on her blog. If you are just starting out, make sure to visit all thirteen blogs that are part of the tour today by following the links provided at the bottom of each post. Our theme this month is Holidays Mini Preview! So without further ado, here are the fun projects I would like to share with you this month!

 

 

My first project: Spice Cake Suite

Project info: This project was made with the Spice Cake bundle that SU! put together from the 2011 Holidays mini. I really love that collection - the colors are just gorgeous! One of the accessories is that collection is big jumbo buttons. And I mean big - they are 1-1/2 in. in diameter. Demos were having a conversation and wondering what to do with those and I suggested using them to make a little shaker, since we are also getting circle dimensional adhesive in the mini, meant to quickly put together shakers. I decided to put my own idea onto paper, so if you look closely, the button is covered with a shaker filled with glass glitter.

Here's a tip: I used our window sheet both on top and at the bottom of the shaker, to contain the glitter and avoid having it fall into the button holes, while still seeing the button through the shaker.

The Spice Cake collection includes Designer fabric, which I used to create the big rickrack border (which was die-cut with the Tasteful Trims die) and to tie a knot on two of the buttons. I used the acorn from the Gently Falling set to decorate my shaker, along with a little bit of linen thread.

   

 

   

 

 

Supplies
Stamps: Gently Falling
Cardstock: More Mustard, Pear Pizzazz
Designer Papers: Spice Cake
Inks: Soft Suede
Big Shot: Tasteful Trims die
Accessories: Spice Cake fabric, Spice Cake buttons, Circle shaker dimensional adhesive,
Window sheet, Linen thread, Champagne glass glitter

  

 

 

My second project:  Halloween Stocking

Project info:  I was so excited when I saw the stocking die! You even get the cuff and patches as well. Making a cute stocking has never been easier! This is the first chance I've had to play with it and I thought it'd be cool to make an Halloween stocking on which I could slip treats. I used the Frightful Sight papers (currently on promotion) and I handdrew some points to come down the cuff. The hanging spider was handcut directly from one of the papers from that same pack.

Another exciting addition in the minicatalogue is the Silver glimmer paper! I know you all loved the red version and now we have silver as well, which is exciting. I used it to add trimming cut with the Tasteful Trims die. Notice how I also used the negative part of the rickrack die-cut around the toe and heel patches.

The "bouh" (which is in French, in case you are thinking I can't spell properly...) was added with the Timeless Type alphabet dies.

Come Sail Away

The card I am sharing today kind of reminds me of a Canadian 10 cents! It started out with a sketch and a masculine card challenges during the Dare to Get Dirty week on SCS. The circle with the sailboat comes directly from a patterned paper from the Nautical Adventures DSP (Summer mini) that I handcut. Since we get two sheets of each design, I was able to cut the whole circle from one sheet and cut just the sails from the second one and layer them using Stampin' Dimensionals. Great way to do a quick card with a lot of punch!

The sentiment comes from a new sentiment set called Delightful Dozen. The word "papa" is just an outline on the stamp, so I used my Cherry Cobbler marker to fill in the letters and get a two-toned sentiment. Notice the rope at the bottom? I got it from an SU! minicatalogue a couple of years ago. It's too bad SU! didn't bring this item back in the current mini because it would have matched the nautical line very nicely. I used it here

Do you love making shaker cards? If you do, there is something exciting coming your way in the Holidays mini... Circle Dimensional rings!! Makes putting together round shakers a snap.

Here is my first try at using them myself. I paired them with the cute little girl from the Gift Givers set. This image initially had the word "hello" on it, but I took it off with my craft knife. The challenges that inspired this card were a sketch and an embellishment challenge, which I paired with the Colour Q #96 color combo as well.

Have you seen what's inside the shaker? Mica flakes! Another exciting addition to our line of products. They have such a nice iridescent sheen to them. Prepare to be dazzled! To decorate the card, I tied two ribbons together (Baja Breeze seam binding and Lucky Limeade ruffled ribbon) and added a tiny jingle bell (again from the Holidays mini - are you getting excited yet?)

The sentiment comes from the Four the Holidays set, which I added to my collection during Sale-a-Bration. I stamped it in Versamark on vellum and embossed it with Pewter powder and matted it with the Silver shimmer paper, and then added two clear rhinestone brads.

The fabulous patterned papers are from the Pocketful of Posies Designer paper pack (which is part of the August promotion) and I used the Dazzling Details glitter glue to add some sparkle to some of the polka dots.

The front of the shaker card was created with the larger scallop circle punch and I added detailing with my white gel pen on it and used the two-way glue pen to add Dazzling Diamonds glitter around the opening.

Halloween Pumpkin Patch

This card was based on a DTGD sketch. I used the new Halloween papers (which are part of the current Designer paper promotion - hint hint!) and a set from the upcoming Holidays mini called Gift Givers, which is a great all-occasion set. I combined the sketch with another challenge called layered markers and one about adding pinking to our project. It was the first time I tried this coloring technique. I wouldn't say this is my best coloring work, but you have to start somewhere when learning a new technique, right?

One thing I am really excited about from the new mini is that we now have glitter glue! It is a quick way to add sparkle to a project without getting some glitter all over you. You just have to allow for drying time, but the result is definitely worth it. I added some on some of the polka dots and the spiderwebs on my papers, and in the background of my colored image. I also added some shimmer brads to my right panel and a designer button to the left one. If you look closely, you'll see the button has stripes on it, which I added myself with the help of Black StazOn ink and the Solid Stripes stamp.

Tip: To get a crisp image on the button, I glued it to a small scrap of cardstock using a bit of Snail and I placed the inked stamp rubber side up and pressed the button on the inked image. I gently rocked it to make sure the sides had stripes as well and used the cardstock strip to lift it off of the stamp without getting ink on my hands. I set it aside to dry for a minute before threading the button with baker's twine.

The main image was embossed with black powder, punched with the Decorative Label punch and I added some black striped grosgrain ribbon underneath. I wanted to create pleats to make it look like a candy wrapper, so I used the new silver mini brads we carry to hold the ribbon in place on the back of the image and I cut the ends with some pinking shears (which I had lost and finally found again last week during my reorganization).  I recreated the look of pinking with the Pinking Hearts border punch on the bottom panel as well.

On a side note, the Gift Givers set is only available in English, so I used my craft knife to take off the English words before assembling my set. In this instance, since Halloween is the same in both French and English, I only took out the "Happy" and figured I could always stamp the word "Joyeux" from another set. Here, I decided to only leave the "Halloween!" on its own.

Just something to keep in mind for French stampers when you love an English set...

Inkspirations #80 - Rockin' Congrats!

 
 
 

 

This card is the second congratulations I created for my colleagues who wanted cards for her niece and nephew's graduations. This one will be going to her nephew, who's a musician. I thought the colors were great for a masculine card and had a fresh look that was perfect for a young graduate.

Even though the card has lots of layers, it came together quite quickly. I just never cease to run out of inspiration when using the Extreme Elements set. I'm bummed that the silhouettes are gone, but I hope this set will stick around for a long time because I love using it and demo'ing it. I used various shapes from the set to create a funky background and then I clear-embossed the guitarist using Elegant Eggplant Craft ink (since Concord Crush is not available in Craft) and embossed it twice with clear powder for a glossy look. The sentiment comes from a retired SAB set and reads, "Congratulations."

I was looking at my dies to find a small tag I could use for my sentiment, but instead stumbled unto the Curves Ahead die (the arrows) and decided that could make a cool accent on the card, so I die-cut the arrows out of Brushed Silver cardstock and used Heat 'N Stick to add fine glitter to the big arrow. I added the three rhinestones at the bottom as a last-minute addition and decided I was pleased with the card.

I hope my colleague's nephew likes it as much as I do!

Retiring List: Lots of 'Bots - Birthday Bot

Today's card gives you a sneak peek at one of the paper packs from the upcoming catalogue that was available in the demo preorder. I liked how the colours and patterns fitted the robot set so well. Speaking of which, the cute Lots of 'Bots set will be leaving the catalogue, along with the arrow die and All Holidays sentiment set I used, so be sure to add those to your next order if you do not want to miss out on getting them.

I used the faux metal technique on both the robot tag and the "screw" brad at the bottom. I also used my trusty Top Note die to add a layer behind my main image.

 

Retiring elements:

• Lots of Bots stamp set
• Curves Ahead die (arrows)
• All Holidays stamp set

Ship Frame

I woke up this weekend with this idea that I could use the new Baker's twine from the summer mini with eyelets to create a frame around the ship image from The Open Sea set. I could have used the matching paper from the mini as well, but something else caught my eye as I was pulling supplies out. I noticed that the colours from the Christmas Cheer SS kit were very masculine and could work for a non-holiday project if I omitted the snowflake papers. Perfect way to use up this set before it retires from the catalogue!

To make the polka dot paper less feminine, I stamped anchors on it to tie it up with the main image. Speaking of the main image, the blue frame around it was also pulled from the SS kit and the perfect size for the look I had in mind. Underneath my image, I stamped the "Happy Father's Day" sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set. The stamp is one line and was too long to fit in the Hodgepodge Hardware frame, so I cut it half by using markers and stamping the sentiment two words at a time, using my trusty Stamp-a-Ma-Jig to get everything lined up properly.

Tip: When using markers to cut up a sentiment, make sure that you dry your stamp very thoroughly before inking and stamping the second part or else you'll get a not-so-elegant shadow of the uninked words if the rubber is still moist. Ask me how I know... The best way to avoid this, I found, is to clean and dry the rubber, and then tap the stamp on a scrap of paper until no image appear anymore.

Inkspirations #67 - All Aboard

 
 
 
  

 
I received my Summer Mini preorder last Friday, just in time for the weekend. I had company coming over for the weekend plus a team meeting to plan on Satuday night, so I had to be patient and wait for Sunday to try out my new stuff. I decided that I would use my free time wisely and get going on the weekly Inkspirations challenge. As soon as I looked at this week's sketch and saw the circle, I thought, "Ooh, sailboat in a porthole!" After getting this idea, the card came together in a flash. If you are struggling to put together masculine cards, you are going to want to get this stamp set (The Open Sea) and matching papers (Nautical Adventures). They are AWESOME! The sentiment reads, "Happy Father's Day" and is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set.

The porthole was created using the 1-3/4 in. and 2-1/2 in. circle punches and I added silver brads around before mounting it on the card using Dimensionals cut in half.

To decorate the bottom of the panel, I created a 1-in. square mask and sponged some grey ink and stamped images from the set in the opening and then punched the cardstock with the new stamp punch from the Summer mini. I then layered two buttons (navy button from the Retro Spring Big Designer buttons from the current mini and a Basic Grey corduroy button, which are still available in the Clearance Rack) and held everything in place with twine. I was so excited when I saw that we would be adding this embellishment to our line of product! I've been using a ton of linen thread to tie small embellishments in place, but I love that we now have twine in three different colours (White, White and Cherry Cobbler, White and Early Espresso) as a cool alternative.

Finally, I added the sentiment to a piece of white cardstock and rolled both ends with the tip of my paper piercer to make it look like a scroll. I folded the corner of my patterned paper, stamped part of the map image on the corner of the Cherry Cobbler cardstock and held the paper in place with a mini library clip.

Focus on SAB: Extreme Skateboarding

This card was CASEd from a Michelle Zindorf creation. If you've ever seen her work, you know that she is the queen of the brayer and sponges. Her talent will never cease to amaze me, and when I saw this  card, I was compelled to give her design a try, especially since this is a fabulous masculine card and I don't have a whole bunch of these on hand. I did it a little differently, as I didn't mask the ramp but rather cut the corner off of my cardstock to expose the Basic Black mat instead.

The background pieces were all stamped with the Wonderfully Worn background stamp and the Extreme Elements set, and edges were sponged with Basic Black ink for a shabby look.

For the sentiment, I used a stamp from the Heureuse pour toi (So happy For You) SAB set and used the shooting star at the top of the image as well.

Creating masculine cards / Créer des cartes masculines

I know that creating masculine cards can be daunting for some (myself included), so I compiled a list of tips that can help inspire you when you have cards to make for the men in your life.

 

• Choose darker colours (for example, from the Regals collection)
• Use sports, cars, planes, boats, nature, tools, robots, trains, dinosaurs, playing cards images
• Use twill instead of more delicate ribbons and wooden sheets (did you know you can stamp on both of those?) 
• Tear cardstock, sponge edges, sand patterned papers, use the Cutting Kit to distress edges
• Add texture to your cardstock using the Sanded or Wonderfully Worn backgrounds
• Use metal accents (jumbo eyelets, Designer brads, Hodgepodge Hardware)
• Pick stripes, argyle and geometric shapes over polka dots or flowery patterns
• Focus on streamlined designs

Pas toujours facile de créer des cartes pour ces messieurs... J'ai donc compilé une liste de trucs qui pourront vous aider et vous inspirer lorsque vous aurez des cartes masculines à créer.

 

• Choisir des couleurs sobres (par exemple, de la palette Royaux)
• Prendre des images de sports, d'automobiles, d'avion, de bâteau, de train, de nature, de dinosaures, d'outils, de robots, de cartes à jouer, etc.
• Utiliser du ruban croisé (twill) ou encore les feuilles de bois (Saviez-vous que vous pouvez étamper des images sur ces deux surfaces?)
• Déchirer le carton, encrer les côtés à l'éponge, sabler le papier, utiliser l'outil à user ou des ciseaux pour user les tranches du carton
• Utiliser des étampes d'arrière-fond comme Sanded, Woodgrain ou Wonderfully Worn pour un effet usé ou de bois
• Ajouter des décorations en métal (oeillets, attaches parisiennes, Hodgepodge Hardware)
• Choisir des motifs masculins (rayures, losanges, étoiles, motifs géométriques)
• Privilégier les designs épurés
