Masculine cards

Valentine’s Day…with a twist!

Do you ever have trouble finding exactly the right sentiment for a card? Stampin’ Up! are brilliant at covering all the beautiful moments but sometimes showing that you’re cranky can be a struggle. Do you remember that Janet Jackson song “What have you done for me lately?” My friends and I have often commented thatContinue reading “Valentine’s Day…with a twist!”

From land to sea

It was nice to make a masculine card for a change, I’ve haven’t made one for ages (which made me think that we should do a class full of cards for men, details to follow soon!) This card was pretty much cased from Windy . I added an Early Espresso layer, changed the silver thread toContinue reading “From land to sea”

Time to party!

I think “Confetti Celebrations” will become my ‘go to’ stamp for many of my birthday cards this year. It is so versatile and I’ve seen so many awesome cards made with it. I couldn’t resist using it for one of our recent Catalogue Launch cards. Here I have used Dapper Denim (love this new colour),Continue reading “Time to party!”

The Ribbon Master

While sorting through my blog I came across these cards that I had made with ribbon scraps. Got ribbon scraps? These are the cards for you! Another one… Last but not least… These cards are so easy and they make great use of the “heart to heart” punch. Happy Stampin’

I need a hero!

Here is the birthday invite I made for Zane’s fourth birthday back in March… Yes I’m sorry the photo was taken with the card propped up on my keyboard…. I didn’t have any appropriate stamps (can you believe that???), so I printed the image on glossy white cardstock and coloured it in with my Stampin’ Write Markers.Continue reading “I need a hero!”

Boy worthy.

Here is a card that I think a teenage boy should like… It was cased from one by Deb It uses the “Need for Speed”, “Word Play” and “Extreme Elements” stamp set. Happy Stampin’

Party this way!

Here is the final card for the May class. I think this card would also work really well as an invitation. It is a case from Mary, as you can see I’ve done it in two colour combinations to choose from…. Happy Stampin’

RSVP now if you are interested in either theContinue reading “A sneaky peek at my next class…”
