Masculine Thanks #3 (LNS174)

Whew! Finally, I've completed the last masculine thank you for today!! For this one, I used "The Open Sea" which was in last year's Summer Mini. It has been brought back and is in the new Idea Book and Catalog. I think the "Nautical Expedition" DSP was from that mini as well, but I don't see it coming back. I used Cherry Cobbler card stock and ink. There's is something about that ink and me! I love Cherry Cobbler, but I seem to get it all over the place! LOL! I used lots of little pieces of Dimensionals for this. I stamped the anchor and cut it out and then popped it up on a 1-1/4" circle that is matted on a 1-3/8" circle (Cherry Cobbler). I popped up the main image panel and the Bitty Banner sentiment panel, too. Another simple card making use of some retired DSP. Everything is from Stampin' Up! Thanks for stopping by!!!

Masculine Thanks #2 (LNS174)

This is the second of the masculine Thank You cards I'm making today. I used "Plane & Simple" for the plane and "Teeny Tiny Wishes" for the sentiment. I also used Framelits - Bitty Banners for the sentiment and Framelits - Apothecary Accents for the main image panel. I die cut the Crumb Cake piece and then traced around the Framelit onto Not Quite Navy and then cut it out by hand for the mat. Again, I used Well Worn DSP. I don't know what I'll do without that DSP! I haven't used eyelets in some time now, but I thought it was a nice masculine embellishment. Everything is from Stampin' Up! Thanks again for stopping by!!

Candy Bar Wrapper Challenge (SULNS#43)

I recently joined a Yahoo Group for Stampin' Up! Demos. They have challenges there, too. This week's challenge was to make a card using the colors from your favorite candy wrapper. I like 100 Grand candy bars from Nestle's. That's one of the candies we will be giving to the Trick-or-Treaters tomorrow night. That way, I can eat them! LOL! All products used to make this card are from Stampin' Up! Thanks for stopping by!!
