Black and White Anniversary card

Hi Everyone! I hope your Sunday is going great.

I'm sharing a card I made earlier this week but with it being spring break this is my first chance to share it. I made a card using the Mojo Monday #339 sketch for this past week.

This is an Anniversary card for my husband, our 12 year anniversary is coming up this Thursday.

I always struggle with masculine cards, so I thought black and white would be a great combination for this one. This week the sketch is Tall & Skinny, I used the measurements for the 3.5 x 11" size card. 

Thanks for stopping by!! Don't forget to stop by tomorrow for some Trendy Twine inspiration!

Have a wonderful day and make something crafty! 

Crafty Supplies used:

Stamps: Yippee-Skippee (SU!)

Ink: Whisper White Pigment ink with Whisper White embossing powder (SU!)

Paper: Kraft, Gray, Black and White (Recollections) and Kraft in Color 'Color' (Doodlebug)

Embellishments: Enamel dots (Recollections)

 

Let's upcycle something

Hi Everyone! I hope your week is going great!

 We have had one Wintery-Spring week here!!

 Lots and lots of snow, we need the moisture but wow it's no fun! So I hope the weather where you are is staying nice ;) 

Today is my day to share a project for Joy's Life Design Team. 

This week the team is Recycling/Upcycling something.

 I am always saving jars, containers, packaging, etc. because I know I will eventually use it at some point or another. 

So I grabbed a container out of my stash, I used a Crystal Light Lemonade container.

 3x3 Card to go with the container

I thought I would use some of my washi tape stash to alter this container and make it a little masculine, for a boy or man ;)

 Plus, as an added bonus this container fits a single package of Thin Mints!! 

That seems to be everyone's favorite!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

'Olive You' Anniversary card

Hi Everyone! 

Today is my day to share a project with you featuring Joy's Life Stamps. Joy just released three new and fun stamp sets! Make sure to check them out. 

I used her new one "That Tastes Punny" stamp set.

I made an Anniversary card for my hubby, our 11 year anniversary is on Wednesday.

I saw this sentiment and thought what a fun card this would make for our anniversary.

Hello Sweetie Double Embossed Card And Winner!

Hi Everyone,
I have the winner for the Joy's Life Mini Book Blog Hop Last weekend!!

Congrats Sue D!!! I will be e-mailing you shortly or you can e-mail your address to me and I can get your goodies out in the mail to you!

Today is my day to share a project for Joy's Life Design Team. Joy asked us to make a project with a new technique that we have always wanted to try. I decided to go with double embossing. I love the look of it and it was something I have never done but it was on my list. I made a masculine card that I thought I could give to my hubby just because. ;)

In our house it's no secret I have a thing for mustaches, especially my hubby's.

This sentiment comes from Joy's Life "Yummy Puns" stamp set.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today!!
Make sure to stop by the Joy's Life Design Team blog to see what new techniques the team has come up with this past week!
Have a wonderfully crafty day!

Out with the Old

Hi everyone!! 

I hope you had a wonderful Holiday

 and spent lots of time with family and friends! 

We had a wonderful Christmas here and even got some snow!!

Time for another fun Cut It Up Challenge- #9 Out with the Old- Create a project that reuses something from the house that you typically would not use in your papercrafting.  (ie. A pendant from an old necklace, the acetate backing from a sticker sheet, fabric from some old clothing, etc) Must use a die cut.

I decided to use something that we had around the house, My hubby is a huge soda lover so we always have cans around. I thought it would be fun to make a masculine card with the tab from one of the cans.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you decide to join in on this fun challenge and I can't wait to see what you create!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's day to all the wonderful Dad's and dad's to be out there. Today I wanted to share two cards I made for my wonderful Hubby, Chris and for my dad, Randy.

The Inside.

I can't really say the measurements, I kinda made this one up as I went along ;)
I really love how it turned out though!

For My dad, The "Man Card"!! hahaha!!

I hope you are enjoying all the men in your lives! Let them know how much they are appreciated!!
Have a wonderful day!! :)

Thankful Thursday- Best Dad

This week the Challenge over at Thankful Thursday is to a Man/Boy theme or the Words Man/Boy.

I started working on my Father's day stuff the past couple of weeks and I've been wanting to use my new Father's Day Cartridge. The images are pretty basic on this card so that really helps when making Masculine cards. Sorry this hasn't been posted sooner but Blogger has been misbehaving lately ;)

I used the Father's Day Seasonal Cartridge and cut my 'Best Dad Ever' out at 4 in black. I then layered it on Craft (recollections), Blue (Bazzill), and Black (Georgia pacific) on a white card base. I sponged and distressed all the layers, used my SU! ticket corner punch and added some eyelets from my stash with my crop-a-dile. Pretty simple but masculine!
I hope you enjoyed my card!
Don't forget to pop on over to the Thankful Thursday Challenge and their Facebook Page, Thankful Thursday!
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Cricut Toss- Up

Hi Everyone! My good friend Stacey has asked that I share in a fun challenge she features every week on her blog. She picks a Cricut Cartridge out of a jar that she owns and makes two projects from that Cartridge.  Since I am a Cricut Newbie, I was really excited for this. What a great way to use Cartridges you normally don't and some that you haven't yet. Check out her project over at Stacey's Creative Corner, her stuff is amazing!

This week our featured cartridge is Tags, Bags, Boxes & More.
Here is my first project.

The card is a card kit I received from my secret sister a few months ago on a Swap featured at Paper Therap. The card kit is Everyday Celebrations from Close to My Heart, I love the colors.
I cut the popcorn container using Fit To Page and that ended up being 6 1/4.

Card stock is recollections Navy blue and the Designer paper is scraps from the CTMH card kit.

The Tag is also from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cut at 3 1/2 with a window.

The hat is cut from Celebrations at 2 1/2.

Ink : Dutch Blue and Chocolate from Close to My Heart and Chocolate Chip SU! Marker.

Ribbon: Close to My heart and Stampin Up Old Olive grosgrain.

Misc.: Pom-pom from stash & Cello Bag filled with Candy.

Thanks for stopping by. Don't forget to Check back later on this week for my second featured project from Tags, Bags, Boxes, & More!

Hop on Over to Check out Stacey's Creative Corner too!

Have a great day!
