Tiger Card

Hi everyone,

Hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday.

Today I am sharing a really cool card I created with a digital paper collection and stamp from StitchyBear Digital Stamp Outlet. This collection was created by Coosty Creations - Tiger Digital Stamp Pack. I really like it what a fabulous collection to create masculine cards and so with that being said One Stitch At A Time New Challenge 269 - Anything Goes with Men.
I would like to invite you all to join us for this fun challenge. Create anything masculine, this gives you a chance to win a $10 gift card to the StitchyBear Digi Outlet Store to shop for some awesome digital stamps or Paper collections with stamps.

Here is my card -

This paper collection comes with 4 digital papers and a digital stamp. 

I printed out all the paper designs on my neenha cardstock. I used one of the

paper designs for my base. I used 2 designs in the front as my card, cut into 

1 1/2 inch strips. I used regulat black cardstock for my mats. 

In this photo you can see a close up of that beautiful tiger. Doesn't he just look

majestic. I really like the way he is just sitting there, his face is just beautiful. 

This is the stamp, instead of coloring the stamp I printed him out on one of the

design papers and matted on the black cardstock. I used prima crystal gems I had

 in my stash, which I think added a nice touch. I also used a Graphic 45 chipboard Safari 

with black seam binding.

This is the inside of the card. I mated the design paper on the black card

stock again. This design paper has this beautiful tiger already on the paper 

so you don't have to print on the paper. 

I thought this would be a great piece for the inside of the card.

Helloo Deer

Hi all,

Hope you all are having a wonderful week. It's been a busy week so far and a little cooler here in Texas with temps in the 80's. :D  I hope you all are doing okay. I am here sharing a card I created for my some upcoming birthdays this fall so to start it off I created this masculine card.

Here is my card -

Today I have a wonderful masculine card for you all. A simple layout and using a couple of ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbons that were perfect for this masculine card. I used 1.5" Brown Netting . I like how it added a bit of texture to the background and then I used the Textured Two-Tone Brown/Antique Gold with a gold button in the middle.
I really like how this card looks rustic, it turned out really cool with the ribbons and paper together. And the deer photo coordinates perfectly with the Textured Two-Tone Brown/Antique Gold.  I just love that ribbon it's so pretty but adds a great touch to a masculine card.

  I used 1.5" Brown Netting as part of my background again. 

I think it adds a really nice texture to the inside of the card as well. 

Supplies: Really Reasonable Ribbons -  1.5" Brown Netting ; Textured Two-Tone Brown/Antique Gold. 

Paper: DCWV - The Rustic Stack; Ultimate Tag Stack

Ink: PowderPuff - Amareto

Stamps: Stamp in Up stamps that were in my stash

Accessories: Stickles - champagne, gold button, TH ideaology - industrious stickers - Gallery (corner pieces)

Sailing Away

Hey Y'all, 

Okay so my last post stated I made two card with the Authentique Explore paper collection I received from Tamra's shop CountryCraftCreations.

To begin I used one sheet of the 12x12 cut in half to make these two cards, this will be the base of your card. I might have cute them a little short after I folded them. 

Second card - 
So after cutting the 12x12 sheet I wanted to add some color to the background and used the BoBunny Bronze spray mist. Now I have to warn you, when I sprayed it, it looked black and dark splotches and I thought "OH NOOOO"!!! But then it dried and I said, "OHHHH YEAAAA!!!" lol   
once it all dried I took the blue sheet of the 12x12 cut it and distressed it with my scissors and inked it up, placed my brads and adhered it sideways. 
I then took a 3x4 Pocket card sprayed with a little water, crumpled it up to a tiny little ball. Unfolded and blew dry just a little and added my ink around it, distressed the edges a little, and adhered. I added that "Gorgeous" seambinding from Tamra's shop, which added a perfect accent to the card. :D  A little stamp in the corner from the sticker sheet. (love the sticker sheet)  and finished. 

 

For the inside of the card I used one of the 3x4 Pocket Crafting cards. Stamped Happy Father's Day and adhered. I think using the Pocket cards is a great way to attached your sentiment to the card. Plus no cutting. :D 

Supplies: 
Paper  - CountryCraftCreations - Authentique Explore
Stamps - Father's Day (from my stash)
Inks - BoBunny - Bronze Glimmer Spray; TH - tea dye; 
Accessories - CountryCraftCreations - seambinding; brads

Father's Day Cards

Hi everyone, 

Okay, so I wanted to share some last minute Father's Day cards I made as my design team project for Country Craft Creations. I hope these bring some inspiration and creativity to you all. We have 5 days to get those cards made, right? 

I made two cards that I think are pretty easy to create and only take maybe start to finish 20 minutes. (maybe shorter)  So for the cards I used Authentique - Explore paper collection. I will provide instruction for each card. 

To begin I used one sheet of the 12x12 cut in half to make these two cards, this will be the base of your card. I might have cute them a little short after I folded them. 

First card -  I used the colored side of the world paper (chose this one because the reverse side is cream/brown. I used the 2 sheets from the 6x6 for the banners and a card from the Pocket Crafting cards for my focal image with "Happy Father's Day" stamped on it. I wrote the date in it because this will be given to my nephew in law as it's his first Father's Day. I used the brown paper from CountryCraftCreations to border my flags and the Pocket card. 

 The inside of the card I used a cream cardstock for the sentiment and then a small cut a-part from the Pocket-Crafting cards and adhered it.

Supplies:
Paper  - CountryCraftCreations - Authentique Explore
Stamps - Father's Day (from my stash)

Father's Day Box Card

Hi all,

Are you ready for Father's Day? It's right around the corner, next weekend. For my Dt project I wanted share with you a Father's Day Box Card I created using Authentique's Explore paper collection. I received from Tamra at Country Craft CreationsStore. It's a fantastic paper collection for Father's Day or masculine cards, mini albums to hold vacation photos or any type of craft project for any occasion. I did do a video on this Authentique Explore Collection - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffhmFRAj8dI

I will give a brief explanation of what I did to each photo but I did a video/tutorial on how I made this card. I tried to make it very easy and brief  as there are 3 parts to the tutorials.

Here is the Box card I created with this awesome Explore collection from Authentique. I did a lot of fussy cutting from one of the 12x12 collage sheets and used one of the Pocket Cards from the 3x4 set, too. I cut small pieces of acetate to hold up my images.

Here is a close up of all the items I fussy cut.

Here is a close Up of front of the flap. I used the BoBunny Chocolate pearlescents to make my pearls.

Here is a side flap showing the plane I fussy cut from the 12x12 collage sheet. I used 3D popup dots for the 3D effect.

Here is another side flap showing the plane I fussy cut from the 12x12 collage sheet. I used 3D popup dots for the 3D effect.

I chose Let's Fish stamp from Crafty Sentiments Store for my man card. It's the first time I think I've combined so many stamps in one card, plus got to use my NEW Cricut Explore. :D  This is such a cute stamp.

I did water coloring on my image with Tim Holtz Distress Markers. 

Water was water-colored with Gelato's and used Copics for my

water waves and splash I drew for the fish. 

I like how the his hat and clothing turned out

cause they look worn out. Something guys would wear for fishing.
