Detailed With Love Birthday Card

This is such a quick masculine card! I cut the layers using Broadway Bound paper layered on basic black card stock.

The dotted layer is 4 x 51/4. The striped layer is 4 x 23/4. The candle layer is 31/2 x 21/4. I cut the black layers 1/4 inch larger.

I wrapped black twine around the whole thing before taping it to the black card base.

I stamped Happy Birthday and the scrolly things in black on whisper white and punched it out using a 13/4 circle punch. It is mounted on a black 17/8 circle from the circle dies and a 2 inch gold foil circle using a punch.

The inside has a 3/4 inch strip of back card stock with a smaller 1/4 inch strip of paper from Broadway Bound mounted on it. The words are stamped in black and came from a retired set with a black scrolly thing stamped above it.

Broadway Birthday Card and Box

Using the Broadway Bound Suite coordinating products make card making so easy! Everything matches. No guess work!

This card is a regular a2 card base, fold on top. The birthday candle piece is cut at 4 1/2 x 2 1/2, the black card stock under it is 4 3/4 x 2 3/4. The gold foil under that is 5 x 3. I cut WISH and the 2 candle flames out of it before I assembled the card to save paper. It also helps to make the card lighter for mailing. Make A is stamped in black ink. WISH is stamped in versamark and embossed with gold embossing powder. The whisper white piece is 3 1/2 x 1 1/4. It is tied with black shimmer ribbon and mounted on black card stock 3 3/4 x 1 1/2.

The box is cut from black card stock, 11 x 7. The long side is scored at 1,3,6, and 8 inches. The short side is scored at 2 and 5 inches. See photo below. After you fold on all the score lines cut the long side lines up the the short side lines. The skinny part is the box lid that folds down. I did cut down some of the flaps by 1 inch. Look at the picture to see where. I also cut the lid at an angle once taped to help it shut easier. These lines are on the template as well. Use tear tape to hold the box together. I cut the birthday candle paper and mounted it on whisper white card stock to fit the front and sides of the box and flaps.

The top of the box decorations are held up using a small piece of a window sheet cut at 2 x 1 1/4 and scored at 1/2 for WISH and 1 x 1 1/4 and scored at 1/2 for MAKE A. The scored flaps are taped onto the lid then covered with a small piece of black card stock. The window sheet helps the pieces stay standing instead of being limp and flopping over. I cut the candles out of the designer paper and glued on the flames cut from gold foil paper (thinlet). The dot on the i is attached with a tiny piece of window sheet to make it appear like it is floating.

Petite Purse Fishing Bag

Isn't this adorable? Fathers Day is right around the corner!! Here are the supplies you will need to make this Fishing Bag that I found on Tinker With Ink by Cristy Butzen:

Petite Purse Die, Big Shot, Square Lattice embossing folder, 1" circle punch,
linen thread, 5-Petal Flower and Boho Blossoms punches, Basic pearls,
Crumb Cake and Early Espresso and Brushed Silver Cardstock,

Sail Away

This stamp makes me want to learn how to sail. What an easy card this was. It only takes a few minutes even though you have to cut out the sails. First, I made the setting sun by sponging so saffron over a circle template I made with the 21/2 inch circle punch. Then I sponged pumpkin pie over that until I got the desired effect. Then I stamped the boat. I used marina mist and a sponge to add the water. I stamped the boat on a white scrap and cut the sails out. They are on with dimensionals. A few layers of whisper white and marina mist along with a saying from On Your Birthday is all it takes to finish this card. The boat stamp is in the summer mini. You can order it until August 31st.

Stamps: sail away, on your birthday

Cardstock: whisper white, marina mist

ink: marina mist, black stazon, so saffron, pumpkin pie

Accessories: 21/2 circle punch, dimensionals

Best Dad Ever

I love this set! It is in the summer mini right now. The ties are wonderful. The first time I did it all in black and white for my husband the architect. He loves black and white and grids. My mom told me to change one tie to red so I did the second card for her. Thanks, Mom! All I did was do the whole thing in black then did an extra set of ties in red, then I cut one out and taped it on top of the black. I can use the rest of the red ties on other projects. The other words to choose from in the set are THINKING OF YOU, BEST DAD EVER, AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY. You need this set if you have men in your life!

Sets: Best Dad Ever
Ink: black craft, red craft, black brads
Cardstock: basic black, basic gray, real red, whisper white
Accessories:  Big Shot and the lattice embossing folder and the dotted embossing folder, mat pack/poker, black brads, designer label punch (retiring), 1 inch circle punch, ticket corner punch

Which is your favorite? We will make one of these at the masculine class June 14th. Hmmm...

Lovely As A Tree

This is a classic set. I have made sympathy cards, Christmas cards, men's cards, women's cards, and even used one of the trees as a pine branch on a scrapbook page. I added the woody background to help make it look more manly. These two colors together are wonderful. You need to order all the wide grosgrain ribbon you can afford because it is all going. It is my favorite go to ribbon. What's a stamper to do? Buy the new ribbon, of course. And wait until you see it. New designs and new colors!

Sets: Lovely As a Tree, Woodgrain background, Sincere Salutations

Ink: chocolate chip, very vanilla

Accessories: chocolate chip wide grosgrain ribbon (retiring), sponge

This is one of the cards we are making on June 14th. We will make 6 masculine cards for $15. I hope you can come! Contact me for directions to my Memphis house.

Bring On The Cake and Seeing Stars

Bring On The Cake made it into the new catalog. Yeah!! Seeing Stars, however, got the boot. It is another great set to have around for men, kids, and graduation. You have until June 31st to order it. This card is super simple. I did have to cut out the smallest star by hand.

Sets: Bring On the Cake, Seeing Stars

Ink: night of navy, pumpkin pie

Cardstock: night of navy, pumpkin pie, and whisper white

Accessories: sponge, wide pumpkin grosgrain ribbon (retiring),  large star punch (retiring), small star punch (retired)

You can order a Big Shot die that has several size stars on it called Stars #2. Now that all of our star punches are leaving I will have to buy that. I use the star points for my punch art. I also love to layer the stars on cards and scrapbook pages.

Cheers To You

If you want to get to order this set you will need to do it before June 31. It is on the retired list. It is a great set, especially if you want a masculine card. The other stamps in the set are two great summer fruity looking drinks, a martini, and two champagne glasses clinking together. You can make this card in about 10 minutes. I really tried to not add anything that would take a long time. Part of me wants to add crystal effects to the mugs and add cut out layers of foam and pop them up with dimensionals.

Sets: Cheers To You
Cardstock: crumb cake, chocolate chip, whisper white

Ink: basic black

Accessories: Big Shot with the lattice embossing folder, hemp twine, daffodil delight marker, scallop square punch



Totally Tools Masculine Card

I am so glad this set is not retiring! It is hard to make a manly card. Believe it or not, the tools were quick to color and cut out. You can color out of the lines because you will be cutting them out. The tool box is pretty simple. It is a normal card size. I measured in 1 inch at the top and 21/2 inches down the side, connected the lines, and cut. I added the pocket with dimensionals after I put on the brads. Then I slipped the tools in just using tape. The set has a lot of different sayings you can add to the pocket.

Stamps: Totally Tools

Ink: black stazon

Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Confetti Cream, Whisper White (tools)

Accessories: Big Shot and the lattice embossing folder, gold brads and the mat pack/poker, medium oval punch, dimensionals, markers in sahara sand, basic gray, real read, daffodil delight, chocolate chip, and soft suede

We will be making this card at the Maculine Class June14th at 1:00. Let me know if you can make it so I can have a precut kit ready for you. We will make 6 cards for $15.

Sail Away

I love the new mini catalog! This is a single stamp so it is on $9.95. What a deal! I paired it with the words from Best Dad Ever, also in the new mini. Both of these sets are masculine themed. I used our black craft pad stamping the words then the boat. Then I embossed them at the same time using our clear embossing power. I took strips of pacific point, cherry cobbler, and whisper white and taped them on a white base. Then I ran that through my Big Shot using the lattice embossing folder. Then I punched the circles out of cherry using  the round Itty Bitty Shapes punch. I ran Baker's Twine through the punches. I love that stuff! I added the embossed base to the pacific point card after I added the twine.  I sponged the water on using pacific point. I added the stripes on the sail using cherry cobbler and the aqua painter. The boat is mounted on pacific point. I added the cherry tab with silver brads to finish pulling the red through the card. I used dimensionals to attach the boat piece to the base. The colors are striking on this card.

CHEERS TO YOU

My scrapbookers talked me into buying this set so I could make a camping scrapbook pages for the next class. I haven't done the pages yet but I love this card! The secret is to cut the handle off the mug on the right and move it to the other side! I love the glitter for the foam. His head is popped up, too. I used UNDER THE STARS and CHEERS TO YOU to make this card. I stamped the bear on WHISPER WHITE CARD STOCK (stamp his head to cut out, too). I colored him using the AQUA PAINTER with CRUMB CAKE and CHOCOLATE CHIP CLASSIC INK. I stamped the beer mugs from CHEERS TO YOU and colored them with a DAFFODIL DELIGHT MARKER. Move the handle on one mug, tape them on to his hands. Use a DIMENSIONAL to pop up his head. Layer this on CHOCOLATE CHIP AND REAL RED CARD STOCK.  Cut a piece of REAL RED DESIGNER PAPER to add to the REAL RED card base. I used DIMENSIONALS  to pop up the stamped layer. Stamp CHEERS TO YOU in CHOCOLATE CHIP. Layer that on circles (13/8, 11/4, 1) and pop it up under the bear. Don't forget to add GLITTER to the foam using the MULTIPURPOSE LIQUID GLUE. What a great guy card!!
