Beery Birthdays!

I have two male birthdays very close together in April, so it was easiest to make two similar cards.

I used a Globeland set of stamps and dies that I bought some time before Christmas and which have been sitting on my desk crying out “use me!” I coloured the images with copics. I think the dies used for the mats are Memory Box but I’m not sure. Images and mats are all cut out of snippets.

This is the second one.

A Man Tree!

Welcome back to a new challenge at Cardz for Guyz, and this time we would like to see your Clean and Simple cards for the males  in your life. I'm not sure that mine is as cas as I would have liked really!

I used a stamp from the now defunct Little Claire. I coloured it with some Sakura gelly roll pens that were lurking in the back of a drawer! There's more inspiration over on the challenge blog and i'm looking forward to seeing your makes in the gallery.

Paper Planes!

It's Tuesday again and time for a new challenge at Cardz for Guyz.. This time we are looking for Clean and Simple  masculine cards .

I had a rummage through some stamps and pulled out this Paper Planes one by Ryn Designs. I think I've only used it once before. I stamped three different ones on my panel, coloured them with Copics, drew a couple of wavy lines round the edge and added a sentiment.  Don't forget there's lots more inspiration from the other DT members. Do go and pay them a visit!

A CAS Christmas

The final challenge of the year at Make My Monday is CAS Christmas and what could be better than this fabulous reindeer from PaperArtsy!

He makes me smile evey time I see him used!Although it doesn't show up on the photo, his nose is not just red but sparkly too! I hope you'll be able to join in with the challenge if youre not too busy stirring cakes and wrapping presents.

I used a recent freebie magazine stamp. It needed staming a few times to get a clear image, but that was no problem with the Misti. I had to clear emboss the white one as the ink did not want to dry on the textured card.

 So two more made! Don't forget there's lots of inspiration over on the challenge blog.

Happy Little Stampers - Watercolour Challenge

 I'm trying to type this post up in between repairing some of hubby's military miniatures (toy soldiers to the uninitiated!) I need to find something better than Araldite! Anyway this one is now laying face down and hopefully his flag will stick. So on to more interesting things like the new challenge at Happy Little Stampers.

And here's my card:

I have used a stamp from Simon Says Stamp  monthly kit which has been sitting unused for some time, and coloured it with my Zig Clean Color pens and a waterbrush. The sentiment is from HLS Dandelion Wishes.

There's lots more inspiration on the challenge blog from my talented teammates.

Masculine Clean and Simple

The new challenge at Cardz for Guyz this week is Clean and Simple. I used a NBUS SU die and cut it out in red and black, then inlaid the pieces.

The sentiment stamp is a wood mounted onethat has been in my stash for quite a long time, possibly Hobbyart. Don't forget to check what the rest of the team have made.
I'm also joining in at Cards in Envy - another new to me challenge.
