Masculine Cards

 

Esther (from Shoregirl's Creations) here today sharing two masculine cards I created with the NEW Everyday Greetings 2 stamp set. Both of them are no-coloring cards, though the second one has plenty of color on it! 

This first card is a fun birthday card that features the Gear Up and Time Well Spent sets as well as the Typewriter Text Background .  The watch and sentiment were stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink while the grunge elements were stamped in walnut stain distress ink.

My second card is a silhouette card. The background is dusty concord, chipped sapphire, speckled egg, stormy sky distress ink blended together to form sky and water. I used just a bit of white pigment ink to lighten up the center of my card and create the illusion of moonlight across the water. To add a little twinkle to my night sky, I spread some white gesso through the Starry Night Stencil.

The lighthouse and trees are from the Landscape Silhouettes set, and I added grass along the bottom with Scene Silhouettes: Tall Grass and the Cattail Die. The waves were created with a small stamp from Scene Silhouettes: Trees. All the stamping was done in Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink.

In HIS Time!

Happy Friday friends!! Today I have a journal page I created in my 6x6 disc bound journal. 

I pulled out quite a few stamp sets to put this one together - here we go...

First, I covered my page with Acrylic paints and stamped some background texture with Archival ink and pieces from Gear Up and clock hands from Time Well Spent.

I colored up some Scribble Flowers and fussy cut them and the big clock face from Time Well Spent and tried to channel my inner Gayle Bond to create a flower bouquet. I inked up the Bitty Minnie Alphas and the new this month alpha called Country Fair for my focal sentiment. I also inked the scripture sentiment from Begin Again to put on the back of my page.

I inked around the page and added some splatters to finish it off. It is a little messy, but it was a lot of fun to create and I really like the final page. What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by!

Gel Plate Fun for Father's Day

Hi Sweet 'n Sassy friends! It's Julee popping in to share a little stamping inspiration.

For today's card, I pulled out my gel plate and some acrylic paints.  I dropped a drop of paint from rainbow colors down the side of the plate, then rolled out with my brayer and pulled a print with thin cardstock.  I then place the images from Gear Up on a large acrylic block and sponged with black acrylic paint.  I stamped this directly onto the printed background.  Yes, you can use acrylic paint on your clear stamps, just remember to clean them quickly so the paint doesn't dry on the stamp.

I cut down my panel and matted with black cardstock. Then I used my MISTI to stamp the hardware down the side, moving up in the MISTI for each repeated stamping so I got an even line.

The sentiment is from the sweet Super Dad set (this one's  in our 50% off sale) and I stamped it on white cardstock and popped up with foam tape. This card is super easy to mass produce, and a fun masculine design.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

time well spent

Good morning! Today I have two cards to share with some great new Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps sets called Time Well Spent (the June Stamp of the Month) and Gear Up. I also used the Texture Tiles 2 set. These are great for Father's Day (which is coming up soon!) or any other time that you need a masculine card.

I used the brick pattern for the background on my first card and then sponged the panel. The time piece was popped up with dimensionals.

For my second card, I cut the top of the time piece off and turned it into a watch. The band is an old Santa's belt die from my stash! You could easily just layer it onto a strip without the buckle or possibly create one with small rectangle dies.

Have a good day!
