Wild about You

 For some of  my Valentines this year I challenged myself to create non traditional cards.  So I used the Animal Expediton #146902 DSP and the Coordinating Animal Outing #146597 Stampin Up stamp set to create some fun cards. This card was super simple and included fussy cutting the giraffe and frog  from a piece of DSP.

One in A Chameleon

I made these 2 cards using the leftover chameleons from the Be Mine Valentine My Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin Up  I randomly stamped the chameleon in black ink and then popped the colored one to create a fun and quick card.  This card is perfect for masculine birthdays or thank yous and looks great in either orientation.

More Nautical Fun

I really got a lot of  “Nautical” mileage from the April 2018 You’re My Anchor My Paper Pumpkin Kit from Stampin Up.  Today’s post are 2 alternated designs using the stamps to create the backgrounds and then the rest of the cards are done using leftover paper and elements from the kit.

Best Dad Ever

 Happy Father’s Day.  Today’s card is my favorite one I created in my masculine workshop class and my favorite card using the Stampin Up Apron of Love #145835 stamp set and the coordinating Apron Builder Framelit #145661.  The checkerboard background was done using the Stitched Shapes Framelits #145372 and is the perfect setting for the BBQ card.

I {heart} BBQ

 Today’s card is a simple apron created for any griller or BBQ lover in your life.  I started out with a wood grain background paper from the the Wood Textures DSP paper pack #144177 from Stampin Up.  I created the Apron from left over Christmas paper and stamped the apron outline with the Apron of Love #145835 and then cut it out using the coordinating Apron Builder Framelits #145661.  I added the tools to the apron pocket.  For the sentiment, I cut a window using the retired Layering Heart Framelits and added the sentiment from the Apron of Love stamp set to the heart on the inside of the card.

Shirt off his back

 I wanted to create a Father’s Day card with perfect style using the popular Pocket Framelit #143750 from Stampin Up.  I textured the shirt using the Simple Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder#145648.  The pocket and collar were cut using the now retired True Gentleman DSP and the sentiment is from the now retired Truly Tailored stamp set.  I added buttons to complete the fashionable Father’s Day card.

Another Dapper Day

 Today’s post is truly a manly card using the now retired True Gentleman DSP and the Truly Tailored stamp set from Stampin Up.  This card is perfect for any pipe lovin kinda guy.
