Masculine Monday: Guy Greetings Card

As many of you are aware we are moving over the next few weeks & I have packed up about half of my studio. I received a lovely big brown box from Stampin' Up! this week & got straight to work creating a few masculine cards for an upcoming event. I was just having a bit of a play with the Adventure Bound paper stack & I must say this paper is pretty good. I wasn't a big fan of it when I first saw the catalogue, but have seen some great uses for it lately. So, I ordered a few packs & the Guy Greetings stamp set & got busy. You can buy this paper as a bundle with the Adventure Awaits stamp set & save 15%!

Here is one of my creations, quite simple but uses the Adventure Bound stack for most elements.

It is a quick & easy card for that man in your life. I can see lots of uses for that car & can't wait to try a few more Masculine cards once I am all moved & unpacked.

Thanks For Looking,

TRICIA

Birthday & Balloon Bash Fun - Yay It's New Catalogue Time

The NEW Occasions catalogue goes live today & I can now show you some of my samples I have been working on. YAY! When I first looked through this catalogue I fell in love with all the flowers & butterflies & bright colours. I had to just stop & ask myself "what do I use the most & what do I need?" or else I would have bought the whole catalogue! For me I thought, hmm... birthdays & bright fun is what I need more of & honed in on all the birthday goodies. People are always going to need birthday cards! I love the bright fun colours in the NEW specialty DSP - Birthday Bash, plus it has 2 sheets with gold foil.

The coordinating photopolymer stamp set Balloon Bash is fresh & fun. I couldn't wait to get my hands on them & have a play. And have a play I did. I have designed a whole class around this set. Over the next few days I will share this set of cards with you. Those of you in my area can come along to this class & make your own set. Up top along the header is a tab titled classes. All the info is there on when & where my classes are held, & how to book in. For those of you not in my area I have added a a tutorial for all 5 cards in my TUTORIAL section up top.

Here is the first card. I did warn you it's bright! See that ribbon - It's FREE! Yes, you can earn it free during Sale-a-bration. Starting from today all purchases totalling $90 (not including P&H) earns you one free product from the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue.
