SNEAK PEEK! CARD – Silent Night

Posted in Cards, Christmas, Masculine, New Release, Sneak Peek, Winter by

I can’t believe I’ve already started making Christmas cards, but I’ve set a goal for myself to create a different card for each family/person on my Christmas list this year, so I’ve got to start early! And even though I cringe at the thought of summer fading away, I’ve got to say that I am very excited to share a sneak peek of some new products from the upcoming holiday catalog with you!

Today’s card features a new stamp set called “Wonderland.” It includes those gorgeous antlers and the “Silent Night” sentiment, along with a fantastic grouping of pine trees, a pine branch with pinecone, some scattered snowflakes and concluding sentiment “All is calm, all is bright.” The paper is new too, and is called “Winter Wonderland Specialty Designer Series Paper.” It has a beautiful variety of Basic Black, gold foil and Whisper White patterns that compliment this stamp set wonderfully.

These new products (and more!) will  debut in the upcoming “Handmade for the Holidays” mini fall occasions catalog, which will be available to the general public on Tuesday, September 1st. Stay tuned for more sneak peeks in the coming days!

CARD – Lovely (Early) Father’s Day

Posted in Cards, Father's Day, Masculine by

Today, I’m participating in the Can You Case It card challenge, what fun!

Inspiration can come from anywhere, you just have to recognize it when it speaks to you. During a little mindless DVR surfing a couple of weeks ago, I was fast-forwarding through commercials and just happened to pause in the middle of a GMC advertisement. I left the room to grab a drink, and when I returned the GMC logo was still up on the TV screen … don’t ask me why, but something about that logo’s letter “C” really screamed out at me. I grabbed my notebook and made a quick sketch. When I was finally able to get down to work in my studio the other day, the following card was born! I really love the way it turned out, don’t you?
Stamp Day Designs, Lovely Father's Day (1) Stamp Day Designs, Lovely Father's Day (2)I started out with an A2 card base of Basic Black. The card front was embossed with the soon-to-be-retired Argyle embossing folder, over which I added a layer of Typeset Specialty DSP flush along the left (folded) edge, the Project Life Corner Punch provided just the right curve to mimic the curve of the GMC “C.” Over that I popped up a panel of Very Vanilla on some Stampin’ Dimensionals, stamped with the Oak Tree image in Basic Black. I dug through all of my sentiments and the “Happy Father’s Day” sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes really had the right feel to go along with the card. I finished everything off with a little b&w baker’s twine.
