Hammer Down

 Happy Father’s Day to all the dads.  To commemorate the day, I made a masculine card for my son to give to his dad.  Really it was an excuse to by this adorable Nailed It stamp set  and coordinating Build It Framelits from Stampin Up that are no longer available from Stampin Up.  The background paper is from the Warmth and Cheer DSP collection that is also retired.

The adventure begins

Today’s post features some retired Stampin Up products including the Maritime DSP, the Open Sea stamp set and the Advemture Awaits stamp set.

Forever in Blue Jeans

I love denim so I decided to try my hand at making a pair of blue jeans by randomly stamping the hatched image from the You’ve Got This  #139572 background stamp in dapper denim ink onto marina mist cardstock. For the belt loops I punched Classic Label #141491 and the belt was textured using the Woodgrain #127821 Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  For the pocket I stamped the image from the Badges and Banners #141605 stamp set and punched it out with the coordinating Best Badge punch #140633. The sentiment is also from the Badges and Banners stamp set and punched with the Duet Banner punch #141483.

No Bones about it

This is a super easy and fun Halloween card that Cammie made by combining 2 Stampin Up stampsets: Mr Funny Bones #142245 and the sentiment is from the No Bones About it #138756.  Cammie randomly stamped images from the Mr.Funny Bones stampset for the background piece.  Although this card is intended for Halloween I think it could be used for a birthday card or a masuline occasion like Fathers Day.

All Aboard

All aboard the creative train! Today’s card takes stamping to an all new level.  Cammie loves to use stamp sets in ways they were not intended.  This creative train uses 3 Stampin Up stamp sets and showcases the new Dapper Denim In color ink.  For the Train base Cammie used the Work of Art stamp set #134111.  For the wheels she used the Balloon Celebration #134111 and the Work of Art.  After stamping the wheel images, she used punches that fit.  For the sentiment she used the One Wild Ride #141721.

U R my Anchor

Today is a bittersweet day for our family.  My niece, Elizabeth, is being inducted into the 3rd Company at the United States Naval Academy class of 2020. I- day is the first day of her plebe summer and to honor the naval tradition, I am posting a nautical card featuring the Guy Greetings stamp set #138825 from Stampin Up. For the background paper I layered several pieces of the now retired Going Places DSP from Stampin Up. To complete the nautical look, I added a knot from twine.

Anchors Away Elizabeth!

Combine individual stamps to build the final image you want in the colors you want.To finish the card I added coordinating star punches and gave this to my son to write a message to his dad.
