Eek – not the dreaded masculine card, lol!  I know a lot of us card makers aren’t all that keen on making masculine cards as they tend to be less fussy, less “pretty” and don’t often give us as much freedom to get really creative as cards for fefmales do (but that could just be me, lol) .  I recently picked up this woodgrain paper pad and love it for giving a good amount of detail and texture but still be able to keep it CAS and masculine-looking.  I stamped the bow from the Waffle Flower Bowtiful stamp set in fog ink on three different wood papers and also covered the cream base card with a darker one for contract.  The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink and then I heat embossed it with a cream powder.  The bows were die cut and mounted on foam adhesive to finish – simples!!

The Perfect Day

I’ve been playing again with the Simon Says Stamp May Card kit and I am totally in love with the soft colours and gold accents – such a sophisticated palette.  I love the kits for being able to pull together a card that looks so professional and cohesive – I so enjoy getting them every month.

May CK 1 cuI used some of the stunning My Mind’s Eye papers and accented with a few extra bits of gold bling (some gold thread and sequins) and the card came together in no time.

I’m loving the sneak peeks we’re starting to see for the June kit too – can’t wait for that box of yumminess to land on my doorstep!!

Ah, I do love Anything Goes challenges!  I can really go to town with whatever supplies take my fancy at that moment in time, lol!  This week I have had my fancy tickled by some gorgeous new goodies I picked up on my last little shopping spree at Simon Says Stamp.  I LOVE the WPlus9 Unforgettable stamp set.  Argh, it’s just SO flippin cute I can’t bear it!  Another treasure I’ve been coveting for ages is the Stitched Banner Duo from Pretty Pink Posh.  Such a useful die to have on hand.  I used it to cut some paper from Lawn Fawn’s Let’s Polka pad and also from vellum (but just the fishtail end, not the whole die).  As I’m all about bling and this week we are all featuring Prima products, I’ve added some gorgeous little crystals for some essential sparkle.  To keep that mood going I cut the (swoon-worthy) Wishing die using some silver glitter paper and also added a glittery wee bow to the elephants tail – love how he looks like he’s just dangling there!  I stamped the little star cluster on my base card to give a dainty background pattern using Coral Reef ink from Simon Says Stamp and then finished off by stamping the “You a Happy Birthday” from the Sending and Wishing stamp set in Fog ink below the die cut.

prima anything goes

So now it’s YOUR turn.  Create something FABULOUS! It is, after all, ANYTHING GOES!
