I Dig You

I'm having so much fun with this set.  I love how this card turned out with the piles of dirt to dig in and the cute  Silver Mini Brads.  The colors are More Mustard, Chocolate Chip and Basic Black.  I used the Stripes Embossing Folder on the main part of the card.

I Dig You

I've been wanting this set and finally gave in.  I think it's so stinkin' cute!  The colors I used are Daffodil Delight, Soft Suede and Early Espresso.  I used the Distressed Dots stamp for the background.  The truck was colored with markers and then I added brads inside the tires.

French Foliage

This was my card trade for Stamp Club.  I did the same techniques on this card as what I taught at stamp club on my last post.  We're starting to get some Fall weather where I live and I'm loving it.  The colors are Chocolate Chip, More Mustard and Crumb Cake.  It's hard to tell, but I did the wet embossing on the Chocolate Chip colored leaves and I used the Perfect Polka Dot Embossing Folder for the dry embossing.

Punch Bunch

I'm lovin' this guy b-day card!  Guy cards are usually so hard for me to make, but this one 'just happened'.  The color is Cherry Cobbler and I used the Confetti White paper.  I also used the striped paper from the Regals Designer Series Pattern's Stack.

Birthday Bliss & Itty Bitty Bits

This is another wax paper resist card done with the Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder and Pumpkin Pie ink.  I'm lovin' the Bitty Buttons!  Great guy card!

Vintage Labels

This was my latest attempt at a 'guy' card and also my card trade for Stamp Club.  Both of these sets can be earned for free during Sale-a-bration until March 31st.  I love the saying by the cake

Happy Everything

I received a card with this same cut star on it (thanks Celeste!) and have wanted to do something similar ever since.  It took me awhile to get around to it, but I finally did it.  I actually had to whip a couple of these cards up pretty fast to add to a stack of cards I was giving as a gift.  As usual I'm always short on 'guy' cards.  This cute star was the perfect way to add a little somethin', somethin' to a card without 'girly' stuff.  At least I hope it looks guyish.  I punched the star out of the front flap of the card and then placed To the Nines designer paper on the inside so it showed through.  Then I punched the small star out of Chocolate Chip card stock and attached it with a brad.  The holes around the star are done with the paper piercing tool.

Starstruck

The lighter paper looks gray, but it's actually kraft.  The other colors I used are Bordering Blue (with the Sanded stamp on it) and Night of Navy.  It's hard for me to come up with birthday cards for guys.  I think this one will work though.  I used the Word Window punch to punch out the hole on the first two layers of paper and then used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to put the greeting perfectly inside the window.  It's a handy tool to have!

Wanted

This is a great set to have on hand for those guys in your life.  The technique I used on this card is way cool.  I used glossy paper and stamped the paisley and other design first with Really Rust and Garden Green.  When that was dry I stamped the horse with Versamark and then embossed it with clear powder.  After the embossing had cooled I used my brayer in Creamy Caramel and rolled it over the top of the glossy card stock.  The embossing resists the ink.  I used a tissue to lightly rub the ink off of the horse.  Cool, huh!?!  If you don't like to use ribbon on your guy cards you can use thin strips of paper to add that extra touch.  That's what I did on this card.  The paper piercing also adds a nice touch - I used a punch two, skip one pattern.
