The parameters 

Card for a kid

Colors of a citrus farm

A spring scene

Metallic or foil.

The picture below shows the foil on the back of the rhinestones that I added on top of the balloons.

Stamp and ink by Stampin Up 

Distress ink too. I used a water pen by Ranger. 

The card base is a Thank you card from my mom’s funeral.

I colored in the sunflowers in with Copic Markers. The sentiment is by Stampendous and the ink is by Stampin Up. The black paper is by Die Cuts with a View and the gold paper it by Sizzix. Thanks for looking.

Hearts on a String Card

This is an upcycled image from grandma’s house. I think there was a distant cousin that made cards and grandma kept all of the cards she received. Awww. The stamped image has been black heat embossed and colored in with markers. Then the red background was dry embossed with a Spellbinders double embossing folder. 

Thanks for looking.

There was some yuck on one of the corners so I added the corner tabs to each of them by using a square punch out the red cardstock and then cut it in half. That will give you the same sized triangles for each corner.

The only explanation why my corners are all different sizes is I was using a small and limited piece of paper and my square punch sizes were different. So I was cutting them in half at different points.

Manly Monday Let’s Bowl, Let’s Bowl, Let’s Rock n Roll

I sang that song ^^^over and over again while I was making this card, 

This is the front of the card. The orange patterned paper is by Imagination Project. The black patterned paper and bowling shirt sticker is by Karen foster designs. The black, patterned paper was a long strip, and I was being lazy. So instead of cutting it to the size of the card I made the card the size according to the height of both patterned paper scraps.

This is the back of the card. You can see where the black patterned paper is making its way to the inside of the card. I made the bowling lane using a ruler, a pencil and distress ink.

Then this is the inside of the card. Tada. The End. Oh no. There’s more…

That arrow, that’s where the goods are stashed. My friend’s son is turning 11 and we tend to give people money denominations same as their age. Soooo, Behind door number one is…

$11. He will like it. And he won’t care that it’s only eleven dollars. 

He will be grateful for any denomination of money that he receives. 

Thanks for looking.

The patterned paper is by My Mind’s Eye. The border is one I made with Spellbinders border die. The  butterflies are from Dollar Tree stamp set except the one that I colored in with Copic Markers. That’s it. nothing special.

Manly Monday graduation cards

Details/Products: The stars tape is by Scotch, the black cardstock from Scrapbook Made Simple, and the cap and diploma are puffy stickers by Paper House Productions. The sentiment is cut out with my Cricut and adhered to vellum. I adhered the vellum to a blue cardstock, which made the vellum look blue. I popped up the sentiment with white foam squares. The two corners were rounded with a CM corner rounder.

Details on my second card: Dry embossing folder by Darice. I inked it with distress ink. I adhered the sentiment to colored vellum that didn't match the school colors. So I colored the back of the vellum with a blue Copic marker before running it through my sticker maker by Xyron. The graduation cap is a sticker by Jolee's Boutique by EK Success. Thanks for looking.

 Graduation card for Jazz. She’s a former student of my husband. They had some sort of playful thing with pizza and donuts. I included both elements in the card.
My cards normally consist of stamps and for this card, I wanted to challenge myself not to use any stamps. 

That’s a big thing for me. I made this whole card with stickers and super old paper by Creative Memories. I think it’s super cute so she probably loved it. 

Thanks for looking. HAGD! 

Floral Friday Vellum sentiment card

The flower stamp is by Stampendous. I inked it with different colored ink pads. The border punch is by Fiskars. I made the paper that color with the same ink pad used on the flower.

Manly Monday Houndstooth Tags

The tags are upcycled from a bank that my mom swooped up from being trash when the bank went computerized and no longer needed them 

My mom worked at a bank for 35 years. In that time she experienced many changes; a name change, staffing changes, location changes, and a change to become computerized. They no longer needed paper tags or plastic bags for checks or these shaped boxes that held specific papers. She helped those things to be recycled and not just thrown away. My Mom swooped up those tags before they made it into the trash bin and rerouted them to my house.

Anyway, I stamped the tags with a houndstooth stamp by Deep Red stamps. The small round circle at the top is a tag by Basic Grey. The background paper is ancient by Provo Crafts . The brad is from my stash. Thanks for looking.

Manly Monday Buck die cut with a tag and some upcycling

Simon says Stamp. Birthday 

The background paper is a wood pattern from the The Paper Studio Dendrology paper pad. The tag is by Basic Grey and the brad is from my stash. The birthday sentiment is by Stampin Up. I ripped the edges because they were uneven and it wasn’t worth my time to clean them up. 

So, I had die cut a different buck die cut out of the tag. I thought that the buck would look good in the tag’s patterned paper. Well, it didn’t. 

 I could not let the tag go into the trash/recycle bin so I needed to cover up the mess. I die cut the Spellbinders Label 4 out of a wallpaper sample. I die cut a buck head that was different and smaller than the original and then I adhered them together with Ranger Medium Matte. 

The label die didn’t cover the hole in the tag so I used the previous mistake/flaw to my advantage. I positioned the bottom of  the label die cut into the bottom of the tag which was the antlers of the original buck die cut.

In hindsight, I should have taken a picture of the tag before putting everything together because in 5 years I won’t understand what all of this means. Maybe. Thanks for looking.

2 Different Purple Cross Cards

Purple cross card

For the card above, I used scraps of purple paper to create the background. I couldn’t get them on straight, so I purposely made them crooked. The cross is a stencil with iridescent embossing paste and they are both by Dreamweaver stencils. I had to cut behind the cross in order to feed the ribbon to lay over the cross. Then I attached the ribbon on the front with a glue dot.

 q    

For the second card, I stamped the Stampin Up cross stamp and colored it in with Copic Markers. I Outlined the cross with an STA Metallic Pen. The cross is layered on top of Cricut cuts from the cartridge Labels. The corner punch is by Marvy. The flower in the corner is unknown at this time but the leaves die cut is Recollections. Thanks for looking.

Manly Monday Owl-Who Me?

The owl is from patterned paper. I used a Spellbinders die to cut him out and then the next size up cut it out of a wallpaper sample. The sentiment is stamped with alphabet letters from SNP (no longer in business). The die cut was cut it half and so I placed a Creative Memories sticker over the seam. The brown background paper is dry embossed with a wood pattern embossing folder by Darice. The strips of paper are scraps from my stash. Thank you for stopping by.
