ALL GEARED UP FOR A BIRTHDAY

May 7, 2019

Hi and welcome to today’s all geared up post! My nephew-in-law has a birthday coming up and since he is an avid dirt biker I thought that the Geared Up Garage bundle was perfect for him.

The background paper is from the Classic Garage designer paper stack and is, unfortunately, sold out. My apologies for that but it did make a great background for those gears. They were cut out from Sahara Sand cardstock and then I decided to brush them with a little Crumb Cake ink and a stamping sponge. Gears are usually greasy, right?

TIP: I used a piece of Tear & Tape Adhesive to adhere the Burlap Ribbon piece. Which means that there is no chance of it coming off!

Here’s the list of products used.

Geared Up Garage Cling Bundle [150610] $66.50	Crushed Curry 8-1/2″ X 11″ Card Stock [131199] $11.50	Sahara Sand 8-1/2″ X 11″ Card Stock [121043] $11.50	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Card Stock [100730] $13.25

Father's Day, Masculine, Techniques

Have you used the Country Livin’ stamp set lately? I haven’t used it in quite a while so brought it out to create today’s “Best Dad” card.

It’s a little early for Father’s Day but it never hurts to get ready in lots of time. I’ve really been focussing on improving my colouring skills with the Stampin’ Blends and have extremely happy with the way this image turned out. The guitar was stamped first and then I masked it with a post-it note, added the boots and started colouring.

The touch of Balmy Blue plaid was added to play along with The Paper Players Theme challenge for this week. Doesn’t it look great with the various shades of brown?

Good day and welcome. I thought that today would be a good day to feature one image from the By The Bay Cling stamp set. (It’s one of the Free choices in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue)

I love the image of the gulls on the beach! This started with a piece of Shimmery White cardstock, an Aqua Painter and some Balmy Blue and Crumb Cake ink. I used the Aqua Painter to apply the Balmy Blue water and then Crumb Cake for the sand. Then all I had to do was stamp the “colony” of gulls image.

Then I decided that the greeting strip needed a little extra so used a piece of Nature’s Twine and frayed the end a little. I like the simplicity of this and feel that this card would be a good one to send to a male friend.

Here’s the list of products that I used.

FATHER’S GARAGE

Father's Day, Masculine

It’s Friday and over the weekend my husband will be in his garage working on vehicles. So, why not get a really early jump on a Father’s Day card!

This card was inspired by the great layout from Freshly Made Sketches with all of those gears and nuts and bolts! I stamped over the Basic Gray and Crushed Curry with the “smear” stamp using Sahara Sand ink, to give the illusion of grease just to add a bit more interest. The same was done over the greeting tab – why not make it look a little like it just came out of the garage!

Check out this great sketch.

GEARED UP CLASSIC

From flowers to gears, today’s card highlights the beauty of using Stampin’ Up! stamp sets and accessories!

This “you’re a Classic” card was created with the Geared Up Garage Cling Bundle (150610) .

I wanted the gears to stand out so first embossed the Basic Gray cardstock with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder, then cut them out with the proper thinlit die. To give them a little more depth I used a Stampin’ Sponge to add a little of the Whisper White craft ink and then glued them down with our excellent Fine-Tip Glue pen.

When I first saw the Geared Up Garage cling bundle I just had to have it. What better stamp set to create with for the guys in my life! My husband and eldest grandson both drag race so it was the perfect choice for cards for them!

Hi and welcome to Cynthia’s Creative Corner! December is a busy month not only because of Christmas but our family has quite a few birthdays happening as well!

Today’s card is a simple birthday wish for my husband! He has blue eyes and looks great in blue, so I used that colour as the focal point!

LOTS OF CANDLES FOR A MODERN BIRTHDAY

Birthday, Masculine

There’s lots of candles of today’s card – who doesn’t like lots of candle to celebrate a birthday!

This card is a bit of a step away from my usual kind of stamping. It’s a very modern take using the fabulous Broadway Bound Specialty designer series paper. No need to stamp a lot of candles, they’re already there for you. All I did was add a bit of the Lovely Lipstick ribbon and, thanks to Itty Bitty Greetings, adding the greeting was easy!

TIP: to anchor the bow on the ribbon, use a Mini Glue Dot. It makes it easy to tie the bow!

Here’s the full list of everything I used.

Sunshine Sayings Clear-Mount Stamp Set [141594] $31.00	Sunshine Sayings Wood-Mount Stamp Set [141591] $42.00	Itty Bitty Greetings Clear-Mount Stamp Set [146667] $49.00	Itty Bitty Greetings Wood-Mount Stamp Set [146664] $65.00

Are you getting ready for Father’s Day early or do you wait until it’s closer to the date? I decided to get an early start on Father’s Day this year and have this cute card ready to show you.

I started with this great layout from Freshly Made Sketches and went from there with a card base of the returning Mint Macaron decorated with strips from Nature’s Poem Designer Series paper! The Call Me Clover letters were created by using the new and fun Layering Alphabet Edgeless Dies.

I needed just the right greeting and found it in the Varied Vases stamp set! Presto – a fun card for Dad!

REMINDERS:

The Share What You Love Suite is only available as bundles until May 31, 2018! If you like the idea of saving some $$’s, then my advice is to select them now. Once June 1st comes around they will only be available as single choices.

Last Chance (Retiring) Products are going away for good on May 31, 2018! Make sure that you have everything you need and love before then.. Visit my Online Store to stock up!

Have a fabulous and fun weekend and Happy Stamping!

These birthday boots are made for walking’! I used the Country Livin’ stamp set for today’s clean and simple card.

Checking out the CAS(E) this sketch challenge was all of the inspiration I needed to get started!

I wanted to use our Watercolour Pencils to colour the boots but didn’t want the ink to smear, so I heat embossed the image to seal the Night of Navy ink before colouring.

The Color Theory Designer Series paper is on the Retirement list as are the Regals Enamel Shapes so I had to get in at least one more project using them!

I enjoy attending Cynthia’s card and scrapbook classes. Her studio is comfortable and bright. I really like the colour combinations she uses. She is very organized and does the prep work allowing you to concentrate on the techniques. She is very flexible, even if you want to make some changes to make the project “your own”. I highly recommend Cynthia as a demonstrator!
