One For the Guys

Hi everyone.  Father's Day is just around the corner and I've been busy making a variety of Father's Day cards showcasing one of the masculine stamp sets from the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue called ""He's All That".  

This 11-piece red rubber cling stamp set is definitely going to be a keeper.  These vintage images and versatile greetings are perfect for Father's Day, birthdays, and just because.

Product #159071.  STAMP SET ONLY

Product # 159079 THE BUNDLE

 
Here's My Card:

I wanted a bold layered look so the Freshly Made Sketch #537 was the perfect design.  Here's a look at the FMS sketch:


I used the "He's The Man" #159068 designer series paper for my card front layers and it really steals the show. In fact, while I had intended to do more stamping on this card, but the dsp pulled it together very quickly. I also used the Rustic Metallic Adhesive backed dots #159082 to add some manly glam. 
  

I really enjoyed using the label dies from the set.  For the inside of the card I stamped the image on Whisper White and cut it out with the label die.  I then cut out a second label using the rectangular die and mounted the two together.  


This Designer Paper coordinates so well and there is absolutely no waste.  And if you don't have the stamp set to add a sentiment, no worries as there are two pages of labels including the one in the picture that can be applied.  The bow tie was added with dimensionals to the base of the words and a small gem was added to the center. 




Well that's it for today.  Thanks so much for dropping by.  I hope you enjoyed this card.  

Happy Stamping!

Nuts and Bolts for Freshly Made Sketches 536

For all my Canadian friends and family where ever you are, have a happy and safe Victoria Day long weekend.  Hope you're getting sunshine like we are.  Two days in a row, whoo hoo!  Yeah, it's been such a long time.

Speaking of long times, it's been a while since I participated in a card sketch challenge, so I thought I'd dive in with this sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.  The moment I saw it I knew what I wanted to create with this fun sketch.  

Click here to see the Freshly Made Challenge

Here's My Card:  

The Details:  

I fell in love with the red rubber cling stamp set called Nuts and Bolts when the January to February 2022 Sale-a-bration (SAB) started.  It was so cute and FREE in the SAB.  My only problem was I bought so many stamp sets and bundles from the new Mini that I never got around to using it before it retired the end of February.  So when I saw the sketch from FMS I thought here's my perfect opportunity.  

Stamp Set:    

Nuts and Bolts stamp set featured in the January to February Sale-a-bration catalogue.  Product # 157650.  This item is now retired.  

Product #157650 from the 2022 Jan-Feb Sale-a-bration Sale.  
Cardstock:    

  • 8 1/ x 5 1/4" Marina Mist for Card Base scored at 4 1/4"
  • 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" Misty Moonlight card stock for 1st layer on card front, scrap for sentiment
  • Cut two 4" x 5 1/4" Whisper White layers for the front and inside of the card.  Emboss the front panel.
  • Additional scraps of Whisper White to stamp the sentiment and robots on.  All the robots were fussy cut and coloured with blends. 
Designer Series Paper:
  • 2 1/2" x 6" piece of Simply Marbelous DSP from the Jan/Feb 2022
  •  Sale-a-bration catalogue. 
  • Punch out three 1 3/4" circles from Simply Marbelous DSP  
Ink:
  • Momento Black ink  for sentiment and stamped images.
  • Blends - Petal Pink, Pool Party, Smokey Slate and Basic Black light.  
Accessories:
  • 1 3/4" circle punch
  • gemstones 
Well that's it for today's post and for this Freshly Made Sketch challenge.  I hope you enjoyed it.  





HAPPY STAMPING!

Pick of the Crop May Paper Pumpkin Kit

 

Although you wouldn't know it from our current wet weather trend but summer is on its way.  We live in the "berry belt" of Canada so summer berries and fruit are top on our list.  This year in particular because of the shortage of bees and the wet soggy weather we've had our berry crops are taking longer than usual.  We'll just have to have patience and when they arrive  support our local farmers during this hardship time.  Can't wait!  

I also can't wait to get my hands on the May 11 to June 11th "Pick of the Crop" Paper Pumpkin kit.  It looks like it's going to be yummy! 

Check it out on my website store by clicking here. 
The Pick of the Crop Paper Pumpkin kit is chock full of fun and includes many of my favourite colours and berry themes. This all-inclusive kit includes enough supplies to:

  • create 9 cards with card bases measuring 4-1/4" x 5-1/2"  - you get 3 each of 3 designs
  • 9 printed card bases featuring coordinating colors: Blackberry Bliss, Cajun Craze, Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, Garden Green, Night of Navy, Soft Succulent 
  • 9 coordinating envelopes (4-1/2" x 5-3/4" (11.4 x 14.6 cm))
  • Photopolymer Stamp set to express love, gratitude and style.  The sentiments say “Love you a whole bunch”, “You’re the pick of the crop”, “You are the sweetest,” and so many more
  • a selection of die-cut paper pieces including some specialty vellum pieces 
  • a Calypso Coral Classic Stampin’ Spot!
  • Adhesive
  • Bonus: This kit includes a canvas mini shopping bag that measures 5 3/8" x 6", which can be used to hold a couple cards for a unique craft element. 

Note: Additional bags will be available to purchase separately on my shopping web site.

Just look at this cute little "bonus" canvas bag that's
included in this month's kit!

Flowing Flowers with new Stampin' Up InColors

 

On May 3rd, Stampin' Up is going to paint the town with these beautiful new In Colors which will be available from 2022 to 2024.  I simply can't wait to share them with you.  

Until then I'll post some samples showing off the beauty of these new In Colors.  Stampin' Up! Demonstrators get the luxury of ordering early which means we get to play with new products like the In Colors.  If you'd  like to get your hands on these beautiful new inks and other pre-order products it's simply one of the best times to get a Starter Kits for only $135.00.  To find out more contact me  or click here to join now.  


Here's my first sneak peak Flowing Flowers a 9 piece cling stamp set shown on page 36 of the January to June 2022 Mini Catalogue.  This stamp set will be retiring on May 2nd, so if you love it you'll need to act fast.  I combined it with a retired set called Beautiful Friendship to create the flowery background. 
 
Flowing Flowers #157880 isn't just another flower stamp set, it's stunning!  I absolutely love the sentiments in this stamp set especially the "Just a Note".  Honestly when I bought this set it was because of the sentiments, but since I began creating with this set I've fallen with everything in it.  The flowers are simply dreamy and look beautiful alone or in clusters. Every single one of the sentiments is relatable.   This stamp set will be retiring on May 2nd, so if you love it too, don't wait to order it on my online store as it will be gone forever.  

Okay, what do you think?  Isn't this a gorgeous combination of colors.  This card combines four of the new colors (Orchid Oasis, Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide and Starry Sky) with last year's In Colors (Polished Pink, Pale Papaya, Fresh Freesia).  Oh my I think they are stunning!  



HAPPY STAMPING!
