It's Guy Time!

Day 3 of the  #30daycardmakingchallenge, and it's all about the guys!  I can't say that I came up with the most masculine project, but it's simple and bold with some fun pops of color.  And I made it for my husband, and I think he will like it.  😀  So I am taking that as a win!  One note...I took a little liberty and made a tag instead of a card today.  A tag is just a one sided card, so I think it works still, right?! 

SUPPLIES:  (all items are available in my STORE!)

Colors: Poppy Parade, Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Basic Black

Inks:  Soft Sea Foam, StazOn Jet Black, VersaMark

Cardstock/Papers:  Poppy Parade, Whisper White, Bermuda Bay

Stamps: Tropical Chic, Seriously the Best

Tools: Heat Tool, Hole Punch

Accessories:  White Stampin' Emboss Powder, Black 1/2" Satin Ribbon

I really do love the Tropical Chic Stamp Set.  It works for so many occasions! 

This was so quick and simple to make.  Just stamped the tag, and then added a strip of Bermuda Bay cardstock.  Then I just embossed the greeting on a strip of Poppy Parade cardstock and I was done!

And here is the official challenge graphic for you:

Can't wait to see what you make!

I used a fun stamp from Tasteful Textures Stamp Set and made a rainbow with it!  I'm sorry...I just can't stop doing "rainbow" themed things these days.  That seems to be the only color combo that comes to my mind!  Haha.  But this card is just simple stamping, splattering, and then embellishing.  It really just took me a few mins to make and is so cheery and happy!  I hope you enjoy!

Thoughtful Blooms Rainbow...

AHHHHH!  I made a card today!  🙌 I have to admit...I have been STRUGGLING with all this worry/virus/shut-in/change/canceling/etc.  Motivation hasn't be the easiest for me.  BUT...I promised I would craft today, so I went to my craft room.  It just took going into my room for me to remember why I needed to do this today!  It definitely gave my heart a boost and I am excited I have a card to share with you today!!

SUPPLIES:  (all items are available in my STORE!)

Rainbow was the one thing that came to my mind to do.  We all need a little hope right now, right?!  And that's what rainbows are for me...a sign of hope that there is light after the storm.  💖

So how did I make this rainbow?!  Well I used this fabulous Sale-A-Bration stamp set called, Thoughtful Blooms.  I have used this stamp set A TON, but have mostly used the flowers.  This time I used this stamp:

Don't you just LOVE this stamp set!  Just a few more days to earn it FREE!!!!  Or any of the other Sale-A-Bration options!!!  Click below to check them all out!!!  Including the Small Bloom Punch that I also used on this card.  I LOVE LOVE this too!!! 😍😍😍

So I stamped the image in rainbow order...inking it up with a different color each time.  Then after, I took an Aqua Painter and colored in the image with the same color I stamped it with.  (In order ... Melon Mambo, Mango Melody, Pineapple Punch, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana, Gorgeous Grape)  Then I also embossed a piece of Vellum Cardstock with the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder and sewed it onto the front of the card.

I also really love this ribbon, the Whisper White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon from the 
MINI CATALOG.  Personally...I think it is the perfect touch to this card. 

And how much fun are the fun white blooms?  😀

I hope you enjoy this card!  And feel that there is a little hope that this craziness will end at some point.  Please stay safe and healthy!  Let me know if there is anything I can do for you!
