Happy Birthday

Hi and welcome back,

Today I am sharing the 3rd  masculine themed card that I taught in my January Card Shop class. (Next months theme in the Card Shop Class will be Sympathy Cards. Stay tuned for posts of those cards in February.) 


On most cards for men we don't envision ribbon because we think of bows. Well lets step out of the box and use ribbon as a background and weave it onto a panel.. This is a great way to use smaller pieces of ribbon that really are too small for a bow. 

Colored my truck with colored pencils and gamsol. Used a hand punch to punch the mirror CS for the rear view mirrors and on the red CS for the brake lights, and I used a glue pen to adhere them.I fussy cut the truck and used dimensional foam to pop it up off the woven panel.


SUPPLIES USED ON MY PROJECT
Stamps:  PrintWorks - Truck;Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous  Simple Sayings   (sentiment & sentiment frame)
Paper/Card Stock: Rust, Gray, Dark Brown,Med. Brown, White, Red (Tail Lites), Mirror (truck mirrors) 
Ink: India Ink Black; Memento Espresso
Accessories: Various Ribbons, Hand Punch (1/4"), Scor-Tape 1/4", Glue Pen, colored pencils, gamsol, blender stumps, dimensional foam

Best Wishes

Hello and welcome back,

Today I am sharing the second card from my masculine card class held last Saturday.



I used a stamp set that really covers a few different means of travel, and this set is so versatile and perfect for the guy cards that seem to be so hard to design. Below are two close-ups of those gray triangular pieces. Using VersaMark, I stamped the images that are a compliment to the ship theme.





Supplies used on this card:
Stamps - Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Collection - Travel Ways, Simple Sayings (Sentiment)
Ink - India Ink, VersaMark
Card stock - Black, White, Dark Gray, Brown
Dies - Spellbinders -Circles S4-114, S4-116
Bakers Twine

I am submitting this card to the following challenges:

hello friend

Hi Everyone
Glad you stopped in today. I had my monthly club meeting this past week and I want to share the card that I made for the challenge for our  January meeting. Just a little background - We usually have a challenge each month and we are given some type of product, usually an embellishment,or a stamp, and we are supposed to use it in a project of some kind.We are to use it, some how, in our creation.We generally get the challenge items one month and then bring in the finished project with the challenge items incorporated in it, the following month.

Well Denise gave each of us a magnet that looked like a badge. The magnet I chose had feathers on it. As luck would have it, I picked up a new die last weekend, and it was a feather. So, I was all set to make this card. I had a few other things hanging around so I added those items to the card too.


I used some corrugated paper from a box, and some black and yellow card stock. I also had a piece left over from playing around with my Gelli Plate, used that as the bottom panel you see on the card. Then there are the feathers and that round badge looking magnet. I used white card stock in making the feathers. I sponged ink onto the feathers shapes and then snipped them to look more realistic. I used stamps from Tim Holtz to make the "hello friend" sentiment.

The challenge next month is going to involve glitter shapes. I chose some swirly ones, so it will be interesting to see where my imagination leads me. There were other types of glitter shapes given out so we all have different things to work with.

In our club, usually someone volunteers to lead a tutorial for the project for that month. Denise suggested in place of her tutorial,  that we do a round robin of sorts for next month. Everyone will start their own card, with one thing on it, then we pass the cards around and as that happens each of us will add something to each of the cards. Hope that made sense. LOL We've never done that before so I will have to let you know how it turns out. Sounds interesting. Hmmmmm......

I am submitting this card in the following challenges:
