Got Men?

 Do you have men in your life?  I do...quite a few.  And I still struggle with ideas for their cards.  But every now and then, inspiration strikes, and I think this was one of those times:


How's that for a little manliness?  😁  Blues, greens and a lighthouse just say "guy", right?

I am really loving the Artistry Blooms patterned paper.  And that background paper is from that collection.  Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, Night of Navy and Coastal Cabana are all colors featured on this page.  So I had my pick of colors for my image.


High Tide is still one of my favorite stamp sets.  I love the sea-oriented images, and this lighthouse, stamped in two colors, can be stunning!  I stamped the lighthouse, masked it, sponged the "sky", and added sea and sand; this was then cut with the Stitched Rectangle dies, and mounted on a Night of Navy frame, cut with the Ornate Layers dies, which was wrapped with a piece of Braided Linen Trim.


Simple and stunning - just right for a guy in your life!  And Artistry Blooms is just right for making those stunning cards!  Get some today!

Forever Anniversary

Oh my, that could be awful - forever anniversary - if you don't like the person you are with!  😯

Fortunately that is NOT the case for my sister and her husband, who are celebrating their 38th anniversary today.  So I wanted to be sure to send them a beautiful card commemorating the occasion:


I love the shades of blue with the white!  Just a classic look.  And what about that "net" background; do you recognize it?  If I turned it over it would be gold - the beautiful Forever Gold Laser Cut paper.  I love that I can turn it over and use the white side.


A card this special needs lots of layers!  So in addition to the card base, I used a triple stack of cardstock - Whisper White, Night of Navy and Pool Party.  And then the Forever Gold (white side up) DSP.  These layers were stacked and before adding to the card base, I wrapped some white Flowers For Every Season ribbon around them.


Then came the greenery - lots of ferns!  I used the Forever Flourishing dies to cut Night of Navy, Pool Party and Vellum pieces, then stacked them on the card.  And finished it with a bow.


Haven't tried the Forever Gold Laser Cut Specialty Paper yet?  Take a second look and give it a try - with the white side on back, it gives you double the value for your money, and lots of options for your cards!

World's Best Father

It's almost Father's Day, and I have created a special card for my dad:


I love the gorgeous papers in the World of Good DSP selection, as many of them are tinged with brass accents.  And I love Misty Moonlight, one of the new In Colors.  Combining them made for a beautiful card.


This is a fairly simple card; most of the work is done with the World Map dies.

The card base is Misty Moonlight, with a layer of the new Brass Foil sheets.  And then there's that DSP - oo-la-la!  A subtle pattern of a map on Misty Moonlight, with concentric circles of brass foil.   So pretty!


My globe was cut with Brass Foil, and layered over a Misty Moonlight circle, then added to the "stand".  The greeting is from Itty Bitty Greetings, and I added the feather pen and inkwell, cut with the dies.

And of course there's coordinating envelope - I stamped the hemisphere in Misty Moonlight ink on the front.

Inside:


Just the perfect finishing touch - a matching stamped "earth" and the lovely sentiment.

Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there!
