Happy Birthday Guy Card

I always have such a hard time making cards for guys.  My tendency is towards flowers and ribbon, but that doesn't work so well when making a "man" card.

So I was excited when I saw the Best Dad Ever set in the Summer Mini.  This set comes with several sentiments and the tie stamp.  So cute!  And so versatile.  This is just a simple card, but you can stamp the ties in all one color, stamp in a different color and just cut one out.  Put that over the first stamped image with a dimensional.  You may even be able to get away with a little Hemp Twine (which is all the fun of ribbon with a manly twist).

To make t his card, I used Chocolate Chip cardstock for the layers and stamped on Whisper White.  The "happy birthday" is stamped in Chocolate Chip, and the tie stamp was colored with Stampin' Write markers and stamped.

Snail Adhesive (104332)

More Cards

These cards were also made using the OSW technique, and the DCWV Latte Stack papers. The stamps are Close To My Heart.








Finally, this is a set of graduation cards. These were a little tricker because of the words - they had to go in the right direction. So they're not exactly the same, but similar!

I figured it was about time I posted an update :)

I've been working on some cards made using the One Sheet Wonder technique. You can learn more about this by clicking here .

I have a feeling that I'll be making many, many of these cards in an effort to use up some of the vast amounts of paper I've been talked into buying (by myself!).





I'll be working on some crafts for fall craft shows, too; and I may post some pictures of my items from last year.

(The pictures are kind of all over the place...I haven't gotten the hang of positioning them where I want them!)
