Masculine Card

Hello Crafters and Happy Tuesday!

Today I've created a masculine card using the new release Pipe background stamp!

I stamped the image on light blue cardstock using the Brutus Monroe embossing ink and then I sprinkled Brutus Monroe Icicle Embossing powder all over the inked area and them heat set it. This gave the card a nice tone on tone look along with the texture. I inked the edges with a light blue ink for and added Wink of Stella to all of the pipes.

I used the Happy Birthday To You sentiment from the Birthday Badges stamp set from a previous release, and used the same light blue ink for the sentiment that I used to ink around the edges of the card. Then I die cut the sentiment out with a circle die.

I glued my pipe background down to my card base and then popped my sentiment up on foam tape for dimension.

And that is my card for today, thanks so much for stopping by!

{Clean and Simple } CASology #202 – Masculine | Father's Day Deer Card

Hello everyone, today is my first time participating in the CASology Cue Card Challenge! Yay, so knowing guys do not like things too flashly, I was inspired today to create a Father's Day card for my husband from me. The reason I say that is he married into a ready made family. I have four children, and when we met two were still living at home. So he took on the role as a dad without skipping a beat! So inside the card I wrote him a little letter thanking him for all he has done as still does as a dad, and now as a grandfather!

Here is my card, he loves to hunt and be outdoors, so this worked out great.

I used Kraft cardstock for the card base, watercolor paper for the top panel. I stamped the deer heed with Brushed Corduroy distress ink and added a mist of water, this gave the deer a water color look without actually painting, solid stamps are perfect for this technique. I made similar cards like this last Christmas. The top panel is pop up with dimensionals, and I also added a plastic paper clip for a little something extra. This card was so super simple to make, and very enjoyable!

Thanks so much for stopping by,
