Hello, and welcome to my blog.
The Creation Station Design Team Blog Hop is featuring creations
for our Men folk; large & small.
Thankyou for joining me from Sara's blog. The Blog Hop is full of wonderful creations to inspire you, as masculine cards are difficult for some.
I have taken the 'Happiness Blooms Memories & More Card Pack' + 'Happiness Blooms Memories & More Cards & Envelopes', and have made some stuff for the guys...
and there is not a bloom in sight.
4 cards and different levels of creating.
Perfect for the Beginner Crafter.
I have adhered the 'Happy Birthday' M&M card from the pack, directly to the
Large Night of Navy M&M card base.
How quick and easy?
For the Casual Crafter.
1. Find the 'Call Me Clover' & 'Whisper White' striped M&M card.
(I outlined the card using a 'Night of Navy Stampin' Write Marker' and a ruler - this is an optional element.)
2. Adhere the M&M card to the M&M Large card base.
3. Die cut the 'Happy Birthday Thilints Die' + 'Wood Textures DSP'. Adhere to card front.
4. Stamp the 'TO YOU!' using 'Soft Suede' ink onto 'Whisper White' cardstock.
5. Snip the individual letters.
6. Add a 'Stampin' Dimensional' to the back of each letter, and adhere to the card front.
Avid Crafter card #1
The octopus is stamped in 'Crumb Cake' ink.
Grab a 'Sponge Dauber' and add 'Soft Suede' ink & 'Early Espresso' ink to the his legs.
Stamp onto 'Crumb Cake' cardstock, and die cut with the coordinating die. Add some 'Crumb Cake' or 'Soft Suede' ink using a 'Sponge Dauber if more colour is required.
Stamp the sentiment using 'Soft Suede' ink, and die cut.
I have used the NEW 'Stitched Nested Labels Dies' - available June 4th, 2019.
TIP: I snipped between the legs of my octopus, for him to hold the sentiment.
Avid Crafter card #2
Lots of different elements to create the Under the Sea flourish behind the sentiment.
1. Stamp the seaweed in 'Call Me Clover' directly to the card front.
2. Die cut the seaweed elements x 3, using 'Call Me Clover' cardstock (I trimmed 1 and added a couple of the strips to fill in). Adhere on top of the stamped seaweed.
3. Coral: Daub 'Night of Navy' ink + 'Balmy Blue' ink onto 'Whisper White' cardstock using a 'Sponge Dauber'. Die cut 2 pieces of coral, and adhere either side of the seaweed.
4. Stamp the large coral stamp onto the 'Balmy Blue' inkpad. Daub the bottom of the stamp with 'Night of Navy' ink and stamp onto 'Whisper White' cardstock. Die cut with coordinating die. Adhere to the card front.
5. Stamp the sentiment using 'Soft Suede' ink, and die cut with the 'Stitched Nested Labels Dies'. Adhere onto a strip of 'Wood Textures DSP'.
6. Loop some 'Linen Thread' behind the sentiment, and adhere to the card front using 'Stampin' Dimensionals'.
7. Adhere the 'Crumb Cake' starfish onto the sentiment. I gently daubed around the edges with 'Crumb Cake' ink.
8. Add 3 'Call Me Clover Enamel Dots' to the card front.
