Hi friends,

we're continuing with the reviews for the My Favorite Things August Release. Today I'm showcasing the I Chews You stamp set which is perfect for masculine cards.

First, I created an A2 landscape card base from Kraft Card Stock. I trimmed down the swirly paper from the MSTN Spooky Season Paper Pad to be slightly smaller.

Next, I cut out a white cardstock panel using one of the Watercolor Rectangle STAX Die-namics. I created the background with the help of the Cloud Stencil, the Drifts & Hills Stencil and Distress Oxides Inks (Salvaged Patina, Mowed Lawn, Lucky Clover).

I stamped the critters and trees in Extreme Black Hybrid Ink and colored them with Copics. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the images and adhered them with liquid glue.

The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a black cardstock strip. I heat embossed it in white and cut it out with a fishtail banner die from the Blueprints 27 Die-namics set. Finally, I adhered the banner next to the adorable hedgehog.

MFT Stamps • June Release Countdown Day 5

Hi peeps,

today we're kicking off the countdown to the My Favorite Things June Release. All the new products will be available on Tuesday, June 7th at 10 am EDT.

I picked the new Stacey Yacula stamp set Reel-y Great Day for my first card which would be perfect for a man's birthday.

First, I did some ink blending and stenciling to create a little pond scene. Therefore I used Distress Oxide Inks and the previously released Scene Stencil - Rolling Hills. For the water of the pond, I masked off the background and blended on Broken China, Speckled Egg and Tumbled Glass ink. Then I covered the pond with the mask and blended together Peacock Feathers, Salvaged Patina, Cracked Pistachio, Antique Linen, Bundled Sage and Rustic Wilderness. Finally, I added ink splatters with a paint brush and let it dry. 

Next, I used the two little wave dies from the Better Together Die-namics set at the bottom of the pond. I cut out the panel with the largest of the A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Set 2 Die-namics and adhered it to a white A2 card base.

I stamped the images, colored them with Copic markers and used the coordinating Reel-y Great Day Die-namics to cut everthing out. The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a black fishtail banner and I heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I finished off the card by adhering the images and sentiment banner using liquid glue.

MFT Stamps • May Release Countdown Day 3

Hi friends,

we are halfway through the My Favorite Things May Release Countdown and today we have a bunch of new products perfect for the men in your life.

I created a monochrome Clean and Simple birthday card using the fun MSTN Mustache Trio Die-namics, MSTN Super Stache stamp set and the MSTN Father Figures Background.

 

 

I started off with an A2 card base and trimmed the plaid patterned paper from the MSTN Black & White Plaid Paper Pad to the same size. Next, I stamped the background in Cement Gray Premium Dye Ink onto white cardstock, cut it down and matted it with a Gravel Gray Card Stock panel.

I die cut each of the two mustaches three times from Black Licorice Card Stock and stacked them together. For even more dimension, I popped them up with foam squares. The birthday sentiment was stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black on a white rectangle which I adhered with foam tape as well.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

Sunny Studio Stamps • Summer Release • Tool Time

Hello everyone,

I admit that I always struggle with masculine cards but look at this fun Tool Time mini stamp set which is just perfect for all male creators in your life.

I started off with an aqua A2 card base and added texture to a teal cardstock panel with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder. I splattered on some white paint with a brush, let it dry completely and adhered the embossed panel with a piece of fun foam to the card base.

Next, I stamped the tool images as well as the book (Grad Cat set) and the paper roll (Woo Hoo set) in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I did some coloring with Copic Markers and fussy cut everything out.

I used the Wrap Around Box Dies to create a wooden tool box (to make the handle, I die cut the tag twice and did rotate it for the 2nd cut). I cut it from woodgrain cardstock and sponged the edges with brown ink.

I also die cut a circle from grid patterned paper (Gingham Pastels Paper) and trimmed the left side to offset it on my card. I adhered the tool box with foam squares and tucked the images inside. Finally, I added a sentiment banner and enamel dots to finish off my card.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a fabulous day!
