Masculine Birthday Card

When I first bought this There She Goes Vroom stamp I had visions of a bright yellow or even hot pink but when I saw this week's There She Goes (TSG201) challenge to make a masculine card, I knew I wanted to go in another direction with it. I combined it with some really cool paper from the Studio Calico Here and There pad. Since it was a masculine card I kept the frou frou to a minium, adding a tabbed birthday sentiment, some bamboo cord, silver brads, a washer from my husband's tool box and a wrench cut with My favorite Things Die-namics. I "think" the sentiment is from Stamping Bella and the dots stamp came from The Cat's Pajamas Simply Said set.

All That Scraps 6th Anniversary Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the All That Scraps 6th Anniversary Blog Hop! I am so excited you could join us. All That Scraps is the perfect place to find all your stamping and scrapbooking needs.

If you have arrived here from Martine's blog you are in the right place. If you just happened to stumble upon this post, you can start at the beginning of the hop at Simone's blog. 

I am proud to say that I have been associated with All That Scraps in some capacity as part of the Sweet November team, the challenge team and now as a member of the ATS design team for approximately two fun and exciting years.  I've enjoyed every minute of my experience and am glad to be joining others in congratulating Christine and All That Scraps on six years of success.

And now for my card. I used one of the images from the new For My Gal clear stamp set, stamping onto Copics X-Press it cardstock and then cutting out with Spellbinders Nestabilities. I also stamped the flower portion of the image again and fussy cut out. After coloring both images with Copic markers, I placed the second flower image over the original attaching with pop dots for extra dimension. I generally followed this week's Mojo Monday sketch (MOJO287) for the layout.

***This is my second post for the day. Please scroll to the next post for my C.C. Designs for All That Scraps preview.***

Welcome to day two of the  Sweet November for All That Scraps. Some of my favorite characters, the Fairwees are back again!

Today's card features Josie's Brella. After stamping Josie I cut the image out with Spellbinders Nestabilities and then stamped the flower portion of the image again. After coloring both images with Copics, I fussy cut the flower image and then positioned it over the original image using pop dots for dimension. I stamped the watering can image from the Watering Can Logos onto patterned paper and cut out with the Watering Can Cutters adding a flower cut with the Petals and Branch Cutters. I placed it above the main image attaching with pop dots. I computer generated the sentiment onto a banner shape cut with the new for this release Scrolling Banners Cutters. The paper is all from an older MME Lime Twist pad which is in tatters at this point.

All That Scraps Preview - Mom's Heels

Welcome to another day of  All That Scraps April stamps and dies previews. I am featuring Mom's Heels from the Drozy's Darlings line. 

I loved this sweet image of the little fairy trying on her mom's shoes to go with her pretty dress and thought immediately of the Carta Bella Paris Girl 6x6 pad to pair it up. After stamping and coloring the image with Copic Markers, I stamped the edges in Versamark with the new Romantic Grunge flourishes and then heat embossed with pale pink embossing powders for a very subtle edging effect. I made the flowers with the Lucky Charms Cutters using Christa's tutorial here. I inked lightly around the edges of each flower with Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Antique Linen) as well as on the sentiment piece cut with the also new Scrolled Banners Cutters. The sentiment is from the Amy R Wedding Sentiments 2 set which is available in both rubber and clear. An older Jenni Bowlin vintage style button and a few jewels and pearls provided the finishing touches.

All That Scraps Preview - 'Stache Monkey

Welcome to another day of All That Scraps April stamps and dies previews featuring the C.C. Designs line. Today I am featuring 'Stache Monkey. 

This mustachioed monkey really put a smile on my face so I decided to just be silly with him. After I colored him up with Copic Markers, I gave him an oversized tie and some glasses cut with the also new Guys Cutters. I cut the mustache from the same set and attached it to a button for an accent. The sentiment and the border strip at the bottom as well as the other patterned papers came from the Kaisercraft Party Animals pad. I found the plain tag in my stash and I added a Heidi Swapp clock face to the mix, plus some old Heidi Swapp Film Clips.
