Masculine Thanks

 

I wanted to make some masculine thank you cards for my son, Wyatt, to use when he said thank you for the 1st Communion and Confirmation gifts he received last week.

 

 

The first one uses the Dude, You're Welcome thank you stamp as well as some dsp from the same kit.  I added a silver designer button and some Soho Subway dsp scraps to complete it.

 

The second card uses some retiring dsp from the Fan Fair collection and I used the Vintage Verses (SAB) stamp set.  The colors are Soft Suede and Bravo Burgundy and I embossed the Bravo Burgundy layer with the Vintage Wallpaper folder (one of my favorites!!).

By the Tide Wish

 

I needed another masculine card this month and figured since summer is almost here (I hope!) a fishing one would be great. 

 

 

I used some Fan Fair dsp for the background and the By the Tide and Word Play stamp sets. 

 

The fish is stamped in Certainly Celery ink and the sentiment in Night of Navy.  I added a Naturals designer brad for a little accent as well.

Another Masculine Card

I used Mary Jo's sketch for another masculine card. 

Supplies:

Trendy Trees and Bring on the Cake stamp sets

Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso and So Saffron card stock

So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie markers

Early Espresso, So Saffron, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie classic ink

Square Lattice impressions folder

Big Shot

dimensionals

large oval punch

neutrals designer buttons

and just a quick sentiment on the inside from Bring on the Cake

Simple and masculine

Our Late Night Stampers challenge this week is for masculine cards.  This one is very simple and easy to put together using the Newsprint Designer Series paper and Bring on the Cake stamp set.

I sponged the edges slightly of the card stocks with Marina Mist and added a piece punched out with the dotted scallop ribbon border punch and some silver brads. 

Card stocks:

Marina Mist, Very Vanilla and Basic Black

Basic Black classic ink

February Stamp Club

This month's stamp club projects...

 I used the Bliss stamp set (Sale-a-bration) on the left side and on the right I wheeled some Bashful Blue on Whisper White and also on the paper flowers using a retired jumbo wheel.

This card uses the crayon resist technique with the Fast and Fabulous stamp set. I used the Occasionals Quotes set for the saying.

And finally, a masculine birthday card using the Plane and Simple stamp set and Log Cabin Smooch spritz. 

Plane and Simple

This is the card I created for Mary Jo's sketch this week.  I just love this set for masculine cards and it seems like I never have enough of those.
