A Good Man: Birthday or Retirement?

June 10, 2019

Here's another A Good Man card for you today.

This card could be used for birthdays or even retirement. What guy doesn't see himself settling in on a good beach chair, saying..."ah, this is the life", right? I know that's what my husband is looking forward to.

How'd She DO That? tips for A Good Man, Good Dad card:

Stamps: A Good Man

- Night of Navy (8-1/2" x 5-1/2" card base)
- Whisper White (scrap for Stitched Shapes circle/square)
- Real Red (5-1/4" x 1" )

Father's Day: Good Dad, Good Man

June 06, 2019

With Father's Day quickly approaching, I thought I'd share for the Dad's in your life, using the A Good Man stamp set.

Show the good men in your life how much you appreciate them with a handmade, heartfelt card or gift you make using the A Good Man Stamp Set.
Great for Father’s Day, birthdays, or any day you want to recognize and celebrate your men.

As you can see, A Good Man stamp set includes several sentiments, including the one I'm using today. My eye was drawn to it right away. It's a perfect sentiment for Father's Day.

How'd She DO That? tips for A Good Man, Good Dad card:

Stamps: A Good Man
Paper:
- Crumb Cake (11" x 4-1/4" card base, plus scrap for Rectangle Stitched Die)
- Whisper White (scrap for Stitched Shape oval)
- Balmy Blue (4-1/4" x 2" )
- Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper (4" x 1-1/2")
Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento
Stampin' Blends Combos: Crumb Cake, Balmy Blue, Night of Navy
Other: Stitched Shapes Dies, Rectangle Stitched Dies, Braided Linen Trim, SNAIL & Stampin' Dimensionals

Stampin' Blends Coloring Tips:

For today's card, I did a little coloring practice before I decided on which look I preferred the most.
I preferred to start with the dark Stampin' Blend, then come in with the light Stampin' Blend coloring/blending over the dark then over the rest of the area I wanted to color. I purposely left a small white are on the shirts. (So artistic of me...I even surprised myself).
I was really happy with the results - especially for someone that is not very good at watercoloring. The Stampin' Blends markers make me look like I know what I'm doing (ha!)
So if you're still new to Stampin' Blends Markers, then do a little practicing first.

Here's some additional A Good Man cards from the 2019-2020 Stampin' Up! catalog. More great examples for coloring with Stampin' Blends!

If you're looking to update your masculine stamp set collection, then A Good Man would be the perfect addition. Add it to your shopping bag today and get a few Stampin' Blends as well.

Enjoy~Dawn O

Everything is Rosy Day 4: Triple Time Stamping & FB Live Replay

May 16, 2019

For Day 4 of Everything is Rosy Product Medley, I have a couple of cards for you using the Triple Time Stamping Technique.

The trick for Triple Time Stamping is to stamp all three of the white panels at the same time, by "stacking" them on top of each other. Then add a mat for each layer and adhere together on the card re-aligning images.

How'd She DO That? tips for Triple Time Stamping Rosy card:

Product Medley: Everything is Rosy
Paper:
- Night of Navy (8-1/2" x 5-1/2" card base)
- Whisper White (2" x 3-1/4", 3" x 4-1/4"and 4" x 5-1/4")
- Rose Gold Foil (from kit) (2-1/4" x 3-1/2", 3-1/4" x 4-1/2")
Ink: Melon Mambo, Night of Navy, Balmy Blue (note: flower center & pink leaf is Melon Mambo stamped-off)
Other: Ribbon & label (from kit), Snail & Stampin' Dimensionals

Take a closer look...the flower center & pink leaf are Melon Mambo ink stamped-off first.

After making the first card, I challenged myself to make a masculine card with the Everything is Rosy Product Medley.

Can you tell what's different? There isn't the small top layer. Let's call it, Double Time Stamping.

How'd She DO That? tips for Double Time Stamping Leaf card:

Product Medley: Everything is Rosy
Stamps: A Good Man (coming June 4)
Paper:
- Night of Navy (8-1/2" x 5-1/2" card base, and 3-1/4" x 4-1/2")
- Crumb Cake (3" x 4-1/4"and 4" x 5-1/4")
Ink: Night of Navy, Crumb Cake
Other: Tailored Tag Punch, Nature's Twine, Snail & Stampin' Dimensionals

Take a closer look...the leaf on the sentiment piece was stamped with Crumb Cake. The sentiment is from A Good Man stamp set, coming June 4.

I was excited that I could create a masculine card with the Everything is Rosy Product Medley - as it gives it even more versatility!

WATCH VIDEO: Everything is Rosy Product Medley - 8 projects!
Includes demonstrations of Quick & Cute cards, Flip-It cards and today's cards

This product medley is a must-have for any card maker. With all of it's contents, you only have to add ink and cardstock.

Add it to your shopping bag today, as the Everything is Rosy Product Medley will only be available during May, while supplies last!

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop: Sentimental Rose

April 25, 2019

Welcome to A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop!

I'm excited to join in with this talented group of stampers to share alternate ideas for Paper Pumpkin Kits. Today we're sharing the April 2019 Paper Pumpkin Kit - Sentimental Rose.

This month's kit is gorgeous! I'm enjoying playing with it.

Today I'm sharing two cards, one for Mom and one for Dad. That's right, with the black and yellow tones, my mind went to a masculine card. Check them out...

How'd She DO That? Happy Mother's Day card

For this card, I used only the elements from the kit, just in a different way. I really wanted to bring focus to the beautiful Distinkive floral image, which is stamped on a 2-1/2" white square panel. Then mounted to the large corrugated piece that was trimmed down to a 2-7/8" square. Add the twine, greeting and enamel dot...and voila! A cute and quick card came together just like that.

How'd She DO That? For You card

After cutting apart some of the card bases in my kit, my eye was drawn to the black and yellow shades. Which screamed "masculine" to me.

Cut a 1" x 1-1/8" piece from each of the three card base patterns.
Adhere them to a 3-1/4" Whisper White square. Then adhere to a 3-1/2" So Saffron square.
Stamp greeting on yellow banner with black ink. Trim the ends off, then adhere them under the greeting to create a dimensional banner.
Tie a piece of Black/Silver 1/4" Striped Metallic Ribbon on to a Classic Garage Metal Element.
Adhere to folded 8-1/2" x 4-1/4" Basic Black card base.

I hope you enjoyed these ideas. The next stop on our blog hop is Tracy Elsom. See the full list below.

Enjoy~Dawn O

Birthday Monday: Geared Up Garage Car Emblem Card

March 18, 2019

This week's Birthday Monday card features the new Classic Garage Suite.

The Geared Up Garage stamp set isn't just a Father's Day set. Use the car emblem style greeting and dies to say "Happy Birthday Dad"!

How'd She DO That? Geared Up Garage card:

Tranquil Tide (11" x 4-1/4" card base, scrap for die)
Whisper White (scraps for stitched oval & die)
Basic Black (3-1/4" x 4-1/4", scrap for die)
Classic Garage Designer Series Paper (3" x 4")

DOstamping Tips:

Adhere DSP to black panel. Wrap Black/Silver 1/4" Striped Metallic Ribbon around, securing on backside. Then adhere completed panel to folded card base.
For die cutting (Garage Gears Thinlits Dies), the same die cuts the stamped sentiment (on white scrap) and the black "wings". Die cut Tranquil Tide scrap with matching shape to the sentiment. Adhere to black die cut with glue dots, then sentiment on top.
Adhere completed "emblem" to white Stitched Shapes oval with Stampin' Dimensionals. Then adhere to card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Thread Whisper White Baker's Twine through Classic Garage Metal Elements, then wrap around ribbon and tie in a bow.

If you've been enjoying the Classic Garage projects I've been sharing this month, then you'll enjoy this months ordering gift. See details below...
