Masculine Cards.

Recently been inspired by Aimes and decided to CASE a card that she made with her PTI goodies. I used Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper, their large star punch and "Basic Phrases" stamp set to create the card along with the ever so popular Kraft cardstock as the base. Here's two colour combos below which I think would make great cards for a male:



Stamps: Basic Phrases.
Cardstock: Kraft, Night of Navy, Real Red and Whisper White. Patterns Designer Series Paper - Bashful Blue.
Ink Pad:
Night of Navy and Real Red.

Accessories: 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon - Night of Navy and Real Red, Large Star Punch. Non-SU: Cuttlebug - Swiss Dots Embossing Folder.
Card Size: A6.


Bye for now,

Stampin' Up! Demo.

Hi all,

Just a quick post to say "hi" and that I had a fab evening on Monday night demonstrating Stampin' Up! goodies at a local craft club. Thank you ladies and gentleman for being so warm and welcoming, I had a great evening and I can't wait to do it again soon.

I demonstrated a few different techniques to show the possibilities of what Stampin' Up! can do and here's the results:

Using "Snow Flurries", "Loads of Love" stamp set for the sentiment, some lovely Striped Grosgrain ribbon from the Mini Catalogue, and white embossing powder I created the below card in my favourite colour :)


Next, I demonstrated one of my favourite stamp sets and one of the first that I bought called "Big Bold Birthday". I love how cute this stamp set is and the possibilities you can create with the many different colour combinations. Using this stamp set, here's the card I created:


All cards are A6 in size.

Thanks for stopping by, more cards will be added later.
