Guy card using He’s The Man DSP

 With Father’s Day coming up I wanted to make more masculine type cards. I used He’s the Man DSP to make this simple card. I did not put a sentiment inside that way I could use it for the occasion I needed it for.

Materials and Directions:

- The card base is very vanilla cardstock. It is A2 in size(5-1/2 x 4-1/4)

- I used a piece of the DSP 4 x 5-1/4. I cut off 2 inches ( you can cut as much as you want ). I flipped on piece over then glued to the card front as in the picture. I cut I strip of gold metallic paper to cover the seam( 1/4 x 4).I then used a one of the cut outs from the DSP and attached using dimensionals.

Birthday card using Garden Bird Houses stamp set

 Welcome to my blog. Been awhile since I posted. Been busy with some craft fairs and playing with new stamp sets. The bone card uses the Garden Bird Houses stamp set from the new annual Stampin Up catalog. 

Materials and Directions:

- The card base is very vanilla card stock. I used a card die from stamps of life to cut it out. 

- The layer piece is retired DSP. I cut the layer using the die from the catd die set.

-The next layer is white cardstock that I cut to fit the image from the Garden Bird Houses stamp set. I stamped the images and sentiment then adhered to the card front.

I’m planning on making a note card set using this stamp set. When finished I will post.

Card using Easter Friends stamp set

 Welcome to my blog. This Easter Friends stamp set is versatile. Can be used for Easter, Baby cards, Spring etc. 

Materials and Directions 

- Card base is white cardstock 5-1/2 x 8-1/2. Fold in half on the 8-1/2 inch side to get a card 4-1/4 x 5-1/2

- The layer is a retired piece of DSP 4 x 5-1/4. I then used one of my layering oval dies to cut an oval in the center of the DSP.

- Before adhering to the card base I placed the DSP on the front of the card base and then stamped the bunny using Cinnamon Cider ink( unfortunately now retired). I then adhered the DSP to the front.

- To make the oval overlay I used the original layering oval and one bigger. I put the smaller inside the other taping them together. Make sure there is equal space between them. I then used Pumpkin Pie card stock and cut it out. I then glued this piece around the oval on the front. I place a flower from my stash in the corner.

Here is a card I made using the chick from the stamp set. For this card I used the oval piece left over from the first card and layered a smaller white oval with the chick on top

. I had stamped and water colored the chick on the white oval  before adhering. The butterfly is left over from another project and the layering piece is from my stash.
