He's All That

He's All That is a masculine set with several images and dies that work well for many men in your life. You may want to take a look at this set before it retires to see if it will work for you and the men in your life.

I started with Soft Sea Foam for a card base. I added a layer of Night of Navy and Crumb Cake. The Crumb Cake was embossed with the cross hatch embossing folder from the Basic 3 D embossing folders that are an online exclusive. I ran the Crumb Cake ink pad over the top of the embossing to highlight the embossing. The flags behind the main image are part of the coordinating dies for this set. I did cut 6 of the flags out.

Geared Up Garage

The new catalog is live! If you need a copy of the catalog and don't have a demonstrator you are already working with, please let me know. I am happy to drop one off or mail a copy to you!

One set that is hanging with us for another year is Geared Up Garage. I had fun working with this set. I'm sharing my cards with you so you can be inspired to Father's Day that is coming up.

I cut the little strips at 1/4" wide and taped them down. The circle was die cut and sponged with Night of Navy ink to give it a little highlight. The speckles in the background were created by flicking the Stampin' Write Markers.

While the Brick and Mortar embossing folder has retired, you can still re-create this card with another folder or background stamp. My family really isn't into cars but the gears that are part of the coordinating dies is what I loved about this set. I have engineers in my house!

The car is water colored and I used the car to create a background too.

This is a fun fold card. The circle opens to the right.

Then the Balmy Blue opens to the top. Pretty simple really but adds a WOW factor to the card.

Hope you are creating and being inspired!

Happy Stampin'!

Do the Impossible

Did you notice the stamp set Do the Impossible in the Spring Mini catalog? I have runners in my house so I had to get this so that I could scrapbook some of the races that I have pictures of. Well, I didn't get around to scrapbooking with this set yet! I did get a few cards made though.

I stamped the runners with Smoky Slate and then water colored them with Smoky Slate, Grapefruit Grove, and Pineapple Punch. The Brick & Mortar embossing folder looks like a cobble stone path.

I am sending this card to a friend of mine that had trained to run a marathon in the middle of April. Unfortunately, the race was canceled due to the COVID-19 crisis. Another friend mapped out a course for him to run the 26.2 miles around our city to do a virtual run. I was able to be on the path at one point to cheer him on. It was pretty cool to be part of on a small level.

My husband is an avid cyclist. He does it for fun and exercise but he puts thousands of miles on in a year. Michael and Miriam have biked more than 600 miles since our "safer at home" orders went into effect in March. Another reason why this set had to come to my house. This card will be going to my husband as a father's day card.

I love the simplicity of this card. I only water colored the one cyclist, keeping the simplicity in tacked.
