For the boys

This is yet another from my playtime almost two weeks ago now, Using all the different tools from the totally tool set. And there is that orange colour again.

Playtime

On Sunday I had a wonderful day just playing with all my stamping stuff. I wasn't making anything for anyone and I had a ball. All up I made 15 cards to have on hand so I have lots to post over the next weeks or so. This was made from a sketch I have used before and really like.

more cards for the blokes

This was another of the cards from my $3 cards focusing on the boys.

It was very simple, just randomly stamping the stamps from the totally tools set. This nicely used up my supply of Brocade blue, being one of the retiring colours with the matching ink. Also used the colour Night of navy. And silver brads in all four corners.

For the boys

Here is another one of the cards we did at my $3 cards that was for the men in our lives. This was a card I found on Splitcoast, there we many different versions . I just made up my own pattern for this one and just kinda made the card as I went along. This uses the DSP Belle Blue, it was about the most boyish that I had. Around the edge of the overalls I drew fake stitching with the matching marker, Not Quite Navy . The tools are stamped and cut out from the Totally Tool set. love this set! and the buttons were just fakes, I made from a half inch circle with two holes in it then put crystal effects over the top to make them nice shining buttons. I love this card and everyone who did this came up with some great variations using different DSP though.

Fathers Day is creeping closer

I have started making up some ideas for Fathers day and at my last $3.00 cards night we made all our cards to suit the men and boys. I will post those over the next couple of days. First up is what I made for my husband from me and 3 kids. We each have a pocket. The tags all come out and I'm going to get a photo of each kid and then they can each write a message on the back of their tag and then we will slip a gift card or something in the 4th pocket. The original is not my idea but I combined a few things I have seen around the Internet. This one took quite a while to make because I was playing with a few ideas at the time. This would be so easy to adapt for different occasions. Today I have 6 ladies coming to do a class on this, but not necessary for the men so that will be fun to see every ones Else's take on it, and I will try to get some photos to post. There were lots of different stamp sets, punches and a far bit of sponging too.
