A Ginger Snap! Choose the Road Less Traveled!

From the first time I saw this sentiment, I loved it.  Today I combined it with some dsp from the Adventure Bound Designer Series Paper Stack.  The combination of these two elements would be enough to make a wonderful card.

As you can see, I did add some Mossy Meadow Chevrons courtesy of the Chevron Border  Punch.

My sentiment from Adventure Awaits is stamped with Tuxedo Memento Black Ink.  I like the look of a stamped image over a background and the Adventure Bound Designer Series Paper Stack gives me so many wonderful choices.

What occasion do you think would be appropriate to give this card?  I would appreciate your input as I am undecided.

The card base is Mossy Meadow and I used a slight Whisper White c.s. mat in order to make the dsp pop.  Did I mention that I love this paper?

A Ginger Snap! It’s a Masculine Happy Birthday!

I had the best day yesterday creating cards with the Adventure Awaits Designer Series Paper Stack.  It all started because I need a birthday card for my brother-in-law.

 Usually when I am making masculine cards, I try to keep them pretty simple.  This card is no exception.  The foundation for my card is the Adventure Awaits dsp stack.  Did I mention that I am loving this stuff!  All of the dap on my card is from it.  Be sure to turn the patterned pieces of dsp over because the backside is usually a plain color.

After cutting a piece of Whisper White c.s. with the Party Pennants Bigz L Die.  I randomly stamped the splotch from Gorgeous Grunge in stamped off Early Espresso Ink.  In addition, I inked the edges of my pennant with a Sponge Dauber & the  Ink.

Guy Greetings is a stamp set that I nearly overlooked.  But, I really like some of the images and all of the sentiments so it is a must have for me.  After stamping the Wrench image from the set, I followed it with the sentiment right beneath the wrenches.  Both are stamped with Early Espresso Ink.  Near the bottom of the pennant, I stamped the birthday sentiment from Guy Greetings.  The font is ideal for masculine cards.

The pennant is finished with a piece of 1/4" Early Espresso Cotton Ribbon that is stapled to the card with the Handheld Stapler & Mini Staples.  The pennant is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals in order to create some visual interest. 

If you need a quick masculine card, consider using both the Adventure Awaits dsp stack & Guy Greetings.  I will be showing more of them this week so please stop back.

A Ginger Snap! Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge 243!

It's time for some more fun with the Pals Paper Arts.  The colors this time are definitely for a spring palette.

PPA243-color challenge

I love all of these colors but I have to admit that I struggled using them all together.  Then I decided to make my own background paper.  And, I am pleased with the result.  What do you think?

 Using the colors of the challenge, I inked each with a Sponge Dauber and stamped on a piece of  angle cut Whisper White card stock.

Sticking with the dots theme, I embossed a piece of Soft Sky card stock, also cut at a slight angle, with the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder.

These 2 layers are then put on the Pink Pirouette card base that is embossed with the Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder. 

Pistachio Pudding makes an appearance with a sweet butterfly stamped with Pistachio Pudding Ink on Pistachio Pudding Cardstock which is cut out with a Butterfly Framelit.   

The butterfly is placed on a strip of Pistachio Pudding Cardstock that is heat embossed with a sentiment from A Dozen Thoughts. 

A few Pearl Basic Jewels add just the right touch to my butterfly!
