Masculine Birthday

This week I needed a masculine birthday card and looked to The Pals Paper Arts for a sketch from Margaret Moody. I love the simplicity of her sketches and thought it would be perfect for my masculine card.  I inked up my embossing folder to give the embossed paper more depth. Pop on over to the PPA  challenge and see all the brilliant creations from the design team as well as other stampers.

Masculine - Simple Card

I needed another masculine birthday card and was inspired to create this one from a card in Paper Crafts magazine. I used basically the same layout as my inspiration piece, but changed the image. I stamped the leaf using Gently Falling and dug out my glass glitter to do a little broken glass technique. Clean and Simple but with a little bling.

Stamp Club Project

Last night we completed this project for our stamp club. The hostess chose a Thanksgiving theme but did not want anything for a Thanksgiving table setting. I went with the same display idea as my previous post but changed up the size and layout. Again, using My Digital Studio, you can vary the size of your projects. This layout is a twist of that seen in the Holiday Mini Catalog on page 16. I wanted to add a bit of texture so decided to add a small piece of burlap in lieu of a ribbon. I purchased an inexpensive 5x7 frame to complete the look.

Paper Players - A Color Challenge from Jaydee

This week Jaydee has a beautiful color challenge for The Paper Players. As soon as I saw this challenge, I pictured falling leaves and created this card using embossed leaves and brayered paper. To offset the gold embossed leaves, I created a sliver of paper with glass glitter to set beside the leaves. A small sentiment finishes the card for a quick card with a great color challenge combination.

Paper - Very Vanilla, Early Espresso

Ink - more mustard, bravo burgundy, cajun craze, versamark

Stamps - Petite Pairs, Gently Falling

Accessories - brayer, gold glass glitter, dimensionals, gold embossing powder
