Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Make It Masculine

I really cannot believe it's the last Sunday in April!
As we do, the Stamping Sunday Design Team have a Blog Hop, 
and the theme is 'Make it Masculine'.
You may have hopped to me from the divine Danielle, from the Netherlands, or have started with me in Australia?
We hope you enjoy the hop, and you are guaranteed to be inspired with what we are about to show you...

Hands up who struggle creating masculine cards?

I sometimes struggle to make masculine cards, and I have used Designer Series Paper 

as my hero for all of my creations below...

'Country Club Designer Series Paper'

Card, Gift Box & Gift Tag, and the 'Label Me Bold' stampset.

I started out by cutting down every piece of this DSP into 3" x 4" pieces - 

ideal for card fronts.

You will end up with 9 card fronts from 1 piece of 12" x 12".

How cute is this teeny tiny Gift Box?

DSP: 8cm x 10.2cm. Score all 4 sides 2.5cm.

Cardstock lid: 5.6cm x 7.9cm. Score all sides 1.2cm.

Credit to Sylwia - original creator.

A Gift Tag using the Delightful Tag Topper Punch, and 'Denim Ribbon' to attach 

the Gift Tag to your gift.

I am going to miss 'We'll Walrus Be Friends' stamp set, however, don't these guys look dapper on their plaid & argyle backgrounds?

'Tropical Oasis DSP'

I have previously created an Hawaiian shirt for a Stamping Sunday Blog Hop, at the end of December 2019. See the post here!

This is the mini version of that same shirt, sans buttons.

DSP Dimensions: 3" x 5" (Original 6" x 10")

Use the smallest 'Nested Label Die' to create the pocket detail.

*Click here for the photo tutorial, and don't forget I have halved the original measurements.)

Notecards measure: 15cm x 20cm - scored at 7.5cm or

6" x 8" - scored at 4"

Now, this is how tiny the Hawaiin shirt looks on a gift tag!

Gift Tag: 5cm x 10.5cm before punching.

I don't know about you, but I love my mini Hawaiian shirts!

They are just too cute!

Thankyou for visiting my blog, and up next is the talented and most amazing Ruth, from the UK!

I can't wait to see what Ruth has come up with.

See you all at the end of May. Keep safe and keep well.

Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Mini 2020 Favourite

Hello, and welcome to my blog!

It's the very last Sunday of 2019, and the 'Stamping Sunday Design Team' are showcasing our favourite products from the NEW 2020 Mini Catalogue, available 3rd January, 2020.

Thankyou for joining me from Yvonne's Blog, or you may have started right here?

Get your Wishlist ready...

I have created a 'Tropical Oasis' Shirt (not my design and how to make details below), 

and a card; remeniscent of a vintage style post card.

I stamped the Palm trees using 'Soft Suede' ink onto 'Very Vanilla' cardstock. Colouring the trees with 'Watercolor Pencils' and a 'Blender Pen'.

I daubed the edges of the die cut using a 'Sponge Dauber' and 'Crumb Cake' ink.

The oval element has been embossed with the NEW 'Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder'.

I then used the largest oval from the 'Stitched Shapes Dies'.

The Palm Trees background from the divine 'Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper'.

The 'Hello' sentiment stamped with 'Early Espresso' ink.

'Tropical Oasis DSP' shirt. 

You can make 2 shirts from 1 piece of DSP, 

and the tutorial to make your very own 'Tropical Oasis' shirt is here. 

Thanks to Carolyn Bennie for her Tropical shirt photographic tutorial - the best tutorial I have found!

'Rest & Relax. You deserve it'

Card insert: 7.5cm x 10 cm or 3" x 4" (trim if required)

Details...
Buttons: I created Coconut buttons by stamping the 'Birch Background' stamp using 'Soft Suede' ink onto 'Soft Suede' cardstock. 
Punching with a very small circle punch (from the 'Itty Bitty Bit Punch Set'), and making the dots with an 'Early Espresso' Stampin' Write Marker.
Pocket: Using the smallest die from the 'Stitched Nested Labels, die cut the DSP matching the shirt.
Trim approximatley 8mm or 3/4" from 1 end.
Fold over 3mm or 2/8", showing the back of the DSP.
Adhere the pocket flap, and adhere the pocket to the shirt.

Thankyou so much for being here, and I hope you have enjoyed my creations?
