Making a Manly Card

Sometimes making a card for a guy is tough, but if you've got the right tools in your arsenal it's not that bad! I recently made an order of only things that could be considered Manly and knowing a friend's birthday was up coming created this little masterpiece :)

Chirpy Easter Card

Lawn Fawn recently released this CUTE chirpy chirpy chirp set and I LOVE it!! Today's card is another shaker card :) 

Loads Of Fun

Hey everyone! Back again with a BRAND new stamp set from Lawn Fawn! It's called Loads Of Fun and its officially my new favorite set! I bought it with the coordinating stamp set because I couldn't possibly imagine cutting it all out by hand but you CAN buy it separately! I love the end result of this card I made for a friend of mine.

Ship Window Card

Hey all! Welcome back :) I'm back with this "ship window" type card that I really like, I'll definitely be making it again now that I have a better understanding on how to do it :)

Here's the Finished Product:

Honey Bee Stamps Cards

I positively LOVED making these cards from the Honey Bee Stamps sets. I purchased 4 sets about a month or so back and finally got around to using them and trying them out! I must say overall im impressed! Plus the quality of the stamps is great, they're not stiff or hard at all which is great and they transfer ink flawlessly!

The first card I did is this one here :

Layered Embossing

This technique I've seen done many times, but it always confused me how they could line it up so perfectly with having to emboss each layer on its own, then I found the trick! It's a matter of embossing all the layers at once in the placement you'd like them, and it works for simple stack or crazy stacks which I'll show at the end.

Sending A Smile Card

It's been a couple weeks since I've posted but I'm back in action! Full details in next post;)

So I've still been filming over the past two weeks but hadn't had the ability to edit or upload so look out for quite a few cards this week!

Fuse Tool Fail

During Christmas time there was a lot of sales in the crafting community, i myself took advantage of far to many but I tried to be smart and combine their deals with discount codes as often as possible. 

When I came across the Fuse Tool by We R Memory Keepers for 19.99 and i had a 25% off code, i couldn't pass it up. The description said it was a AU plug but I figured it would still work with an adapter. 

I WAS WRONG

Etch-A-Sketch Card

Inspired by photo on pintrest and later discovered many variations of it, simple and quick like you'll see in the video. only tools used were hero arts black dye ink, technique Tuesday's  A Reason To Party stamp set, Simon says stamps birthday farm animals, and simon says stamps stitched rectangles and stitched circles dies.

Bear Hugs Card

There's nothing better than a nice big hug, so why not share a hug in card form? yea.. that's a little mushy even for my taste. 

ANYWHOO.. to start i grabbed a piece of a2 note card (staples brand), stamped my bear hug stamp from Art Impressions, as well as a copy of it on some sticker paper that I had. 

Spinner Slider Thingy Card

Spinner Card? Slider Card? Whatever Card 

We've all seen these amazing cards on pintrest where the lovely little character can be rotated around the middle of the card and they're s stinking cute, right? 

I definitly did and I HAD to give it a try. 

Now - This is more error than success (watch video to see most footage was unusable) 

Clear Edged Card

This was a very impromptu video, i was organizing my Dies when I came across this Die that I have NO IDEA who makes it. I got it as a gift from Simon Says Stamp just before Christmas as part of one of their Promotions. 

Either way, I thought it was a lovely lace and would be nice as a card edge but i knew taking out just the lace and leaving what would have been the gaps would have been a very hard job. So i went with the opposite and used the lace (i'm going to keep calling it lace since I think that's what it is lol) 

Die Cut Inlay Card

So the other day while feeding little one and watching youtube (yep thatès all i can accomplish whilst feeding this little bundle of drool :) ) I came across a video of someone laying die-cuts inside of its original cut out to make a mosaic type piece. I thought it was GENIUS and of course had to try it! (once little one fell asleep for the night of course!)
