ICS It's A Guy Thing In Black and White Blog Hop

Welcome to the ICS May Blog Hop with our theme this month being It's a Guy Thing in Black and White. Masculine cards are often a challenge and I must admit, not being able to use any colors other than black and white really had me thinking outside my comfort zone. I hope you enjoy the card design I have created for this theme.

For my card design today, I decided to go back to the basics: ink, paper and stamps. When you have such a bold color combination like black and white, I find that clean and simple card designs are often the best and they work perfectly for masculine cards. I chose to use the retiring Let It Ride stamp set (item #148765) for my focal image and the Crackle Paint Background stamp (cling item #148752) to create texture the background.

To create my card design I chose Basic Black cardstock for the card base and added a layer of Whisper White cardstock for the background. I stamped the Crackle Paint stamp onto the Whisper White layer using Memento Tuxedo Black ink which gave a sharp image that almost resembles the texture of tree bark. I liked the organic feel that it gave to my card.

For the focal layer, I stamped the horse image onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock using Versamark ink and heat embossed it with White Embossing Powder. I die cut the rectangle using one of the dies from the Stitched Rectangles Dies (item #148551) and attached it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. To create the sentiment, I stamped the image from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set (item #151331) with Versamark ink onto a scrap of Basic Black cardstock and heat embossed it with White Embossing Powder. To create the sentiment label, I punched out the embossed sentiment using the Classic Label Punch (item #141491) and attached it to the card front using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

As this is a masculine card, I wanted to keep the design simple and dramatic. The only embellishment I added was 3 of the large Basic Pearls that I colored using the Dark Basic Black Stampin' Blends Marker to the card front along the side of the focal panel. It was a challenge to not use any color, but I think that the white embossing helps to bring the horse to life on the black cardstock and the crackle paint background provides a nice contrast that stops the design from being too plain. Overall, I am happy with how this design turned out.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design has given you some ideas to help you explore creating masculine cards with just black and white.

GSF Trees and Wood Blog Hop

Welcome to the GSF Trees and Wood Blog Hop for the month of August. You will be visiting with Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world as we share our project ideas to help inspire you. I hope that you will enjoy our blog hop this month.

Today I thought I would share with you a card I designed for my Christmas in July class last month, featuring the Winter Woods cling stamp set (item #151359) and the coordinating In The Woods Dies. For this card design, I chose to use Pretty Peacock, one of the new 2019-2021 In Colors, with Night of Navy and Sahara Sand.

I chose to use Pretty Peacock cardstock for the card base and added a layer of Sahara Sand cardstock that I stamped using the Crackle Paint background stamp (item #148752) with Pretty Peacock Classic ink, to create the look of bark. I just love the texture that this stamp adds to the background. Using a 2" strip of Pretty Peacock Gingham from the 2019-2021 In Colors 6"x6" Designer Series Paper pack (item #149617), I created a banner using the Banner Triple Punch (item #138292) and attached to the Sahara Sand layer with Snail Adhesive.

To create the look of a night sky, I die cut a piece of Night of Navy cardstock using the largest circle die from the Stitched Shapes Dies (item #152323). I attached the circle to the banner using Snail Adhesive.

To create my Christmas tree, I stamped the large evergreen tree image from the Winter Woods stamp set with Pretty Peacock Classic ink onto a piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock and then die cut it with the coordinating die from the In The Woods Dies.

For the sentiment, I stamped the image from the Dashing Deer cling stamp set (item #151362) with Versamark ink onto a piece of Night of Navy cardstock and heat embossed it with Silver embossing powder. I die cut the label using the Merry Christmas Dies (item #147912) I attached the sentiment and the tree image to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals to pop them up.

To complete my card design, I added some Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to the tree to create the look of snow and colored some small Basic Pearls with the Light Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends Marker to create ornaments to decorate the tree.

I hope that you have enjoyed my Christmas card today and that it helps you to see how versatile the Winter Woods stamp set and coordinating In The Woods Dies can be in creating your own projects. If you live in the U.S. and do not already have a demonstrator, please contact me and I would be happy to help you.

2019 Kre8tors Bye Bye Sale-a-bration Blog Hop

Welcome to the 2019 Kre8tors Bye Bye Sale-a-bration Blog Hop as we share our projects and ideas featuring Sale-a-bration products that will soon be leaving us. Sale-a-bration ends March 31st, 2019, so now is the perfect time to get inspired and earn your favorite Sale-a-bration products for Free with a qualifying order. I hope that the projects we have to share will provide you with fun ideas to try.

Today I am sharing a project that I created using the Sale-a-bration Level 1 stamp set, Home To Roost (item #149736). This wonderful stamp set has a mix of country style images and thoughtful sentiments to help you create fun cards and projects. You can earn this stamp set for Free during Sale-a-bration by placing a qualifying US$50 order.

For my color palette for this card design, I chose to use Blueberry Bushel for my card base and I added a layer of Cajun Craze. I stamped a layer of Very Vanilla cardstock with the Crackle Paint stamp set (item #148752) using Cajun Craze Classic ink. Using Tranquil Tide cardstock, I created a frame using the Rectangle Stitched Framelits dies (item #148551).

To create the focal image, I stamped the rooster image onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using Jet Black Stazon ink. I colored the rooster with a variety of colors using a Blender Pen and Classic ink pads. I fussy cut the rooster and attached it to the card front with Snail Adhesive.

To create the sentiment, I stamped it with Tranquil Tide Classic ink onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock and punched it out using the Classic Label Punch as well as another piece from a scrap of Cajun Craze cardstock to layer behind the sentiment. To complete the sentiment, I layered it onto a scrap of Blueberry Bushel cardstock and trimmed it with Paper Snips. To finish off the card, I added a piece of 3/16" Braided Linen Trim (item #147808) to the card front and added the sentiment on top using Stampin' Dimensionals. I teased the trim to give it a frayed, distressed look. I just love the texture this trim adds to the card design.

This card has a rustic country feel to it and I love how these colors combine to create this design. Remember that you have until March 31st to take advantage of the rewards that you can earn for Free during Sale-a-bration. If you live in the U.S. and do not already have a demonstrator, please contact me and I would be happy to help you.
