Need Masculine Card Ideas?

Hello Stamping Friends,

Do you need some masculine card ideas? I am always looking for more great masculine cards. This week with the Sisters in Stamping we are sharing just that with you. With Father's Day around the corner, just maybe you will find the card you want to  make.

I used the awesome set from the mini catalog that carried over into the new annual catalog that focuses on bowties and ties. If that doesn't say masculine, I don't know what you want. (LOL)

I decided to make this a color block type card by cutting the colored cardstock into three different sized and then stamping the greeting, bowties, and ties on white cardstock that would layer on top of the colored cardstock.

I think the colors are perfect for a masculine card too: night of navy, shaded spruce, and daffodil delight. Reminds me of some great plaid.

So notice, this card doesn't say "Happy Father's Day" which means you can use it for any other occasion too. I love when that works in my favor.

Don't forget to check out the Sisters in Stamping blog for more masculine card inspiration.

Pinterest Inspired Sunday Fun Day

Hello Stamping Friends,

Time for another Sunday Fun Day project with the Sisters in Stamping.  This week's theme is a Pinterest inspired project. I picked a card that uses designer series paper scraps as my inspiration.

This is the card I drew my inspiration from. Click on the picture and it will take you to the Pinterest post. 

My scraps range in width from 1/2" to 1".  I just did my own thing by looking at the picture. I varied the lengths of the strips from 3" to 3 3/4".

I used the Ornate Garden designer series paper for my card. Honestly, if you have a lot of little pieces that you think you can't do much with, I encourage you to try to make this card with those pieces. It's a fantastic way to use up those scraps. And if the scraps come from the same pack of paper, you know they will coordinate together beautifully making your creating efforts that much easier. A huge win for your quick crafting needs.

The strip with the greeting on it is 2" by 4 3/4". I also used a few colored rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestone Basics to bling up my card. It is finished off with the Bumblebee In-Color Ribbon and attached to the card using dimensionals. (Well, of course, there's a few dimensionals involved)
