Masculine Cards
Cards for guys always seem to present a little bit of a challenge. Perhaps because so many of my stamps, papers and embellishments are floral and feminine!
With some birthdays approaching for some fellas in the family I got creative today.
The Recipe:
Stamp Set: Cheers For You
Cardstock and Ink Colours: Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip
Other: Windsor Knot DSP, 1 1/4″ Circle Punch, 1 3/8″ Circle Punch, Vintage Brads, and my newest toy – a crimper!
I was also tackling two different team challenges with my card making today – a product challenge set by Ros Oakes. The July challenge is to use as many different designs from one pack of DSP on a creation. And a sketch challenge set this month by Genna Gifford. Here’s the sketch.
While I had everything out I made a second one, tweaking the design a little.
The kids and I are just back from a few days R and R with my parents in Seymour. We had a lovely time away. Always nice to have a change of scenery.
Some highlights to share ….
The kids had fun cooking with Maddy …….
(and I had fun eating the results!)
Morning tea out in the pergola ….
Mum showing Hannah some family heritage items and telling stories about her mother ….
Gardening with Poppy ….
And my favourite pic from this trip – the kids checking out the frost …..
OK enough family snaps – be back with some more cards and creations tomorrow!
Cheers, Sue
