A Passion For Papertrey Challenge – One For The Boys.

Okay, so this is WAYYYYY late going up but we’ve been off caravanning again and I just haven’t had a second to stop and blog!!  So here it is, our newest APFP challenge which is to create a card for one of those men in your life.   My nephew recently had his 4th birthday and this is the card I made for him.

 

{Recipe}
Stamps – Masculine Motifs (the stars), Big Birthday Wishes, Framed.
Ink: Hawaiian Shores, Terracotta Tile, Summer Sunrise.
Cardstock: Hawaiian Shore, Summer Sunrise, Terracotta Tile.
Other: Stars die collection, By The Numbers Die Collection Glossy accents.

To be fair I think it could be for a girl or a boy so not sure if I’m not exactly sticking to the brief of a “male card”! (Hey, if Aimes got away with her “Sky’s the Limit” card last time – I think I’m ok with this one!! – wink!!). I stamped the square frame from Framed and then found a pen (which matched perfectly!!) and filled in the gap – I couldn’t make the gap work!! I then made a mask for the centre so I could randomly stamp the stars from Masculine Motifs around the outside. Although it can’t really be seen in the photo the “4” is thick with glossy accents which makes it pop right off the card – shame you can’t see it!!

Hope you get a chance to play with us over at A Passion For Papertrey and share your fabby creations with us.

Stamp-a-Faire challenge#8

Here’s one more for the Stamp-a-Faire celebrations – oh how I wish I could be there!!  This time the challenge was to create a card with a shorter front to create a space at the side for a border design.  I decided to use buttons.

Thanks again for looking.

Stamp- a Faire challenge #5

Just back with another card for the Stamp-a-Faire – this time it’s #5 – create a border with asolid stamp.  I’ve used one of the banner builder dies to make my zig zag border – So soory for the poor quality photos though – it’s getting late here at the moment so having to take these in the rubbish light!!

Thanks for looking.
