Manhattan Flower

Another of our vellum cards used the Manhattan Flower embossing folder.

The ladies loved the effect of the vellum through the Big Shot.

 

 

• Vellum is always a tricky one to adhere.  For this card we ran a thin strip of double sided tape down the side of the vellum and stuck it on.  the strip is then covered by the ribbon.
• Most of the ladies chose to trim around the roses, as in the first sample.
• This card is so quick to put together and so pretty!

Polka Dot Perfection

The crisp contrast of Whisper White and Rich Razzleberry is echoed in the NEW Polka Dot Parade DSP.

 

Happy Birthday is stamped using the new ink pads.  Love the definition and complete coverage (now I am sounding like a makeup ad!)

I saw a design similar to this on Chic 'n Scratch.

Masculine or Feminine

I started out making this card as a masculine card. 

The Soft Suede and Marina Mist were my colours of choice and the Perfectly Penned stamp set is perfect for mail cards.  But once I put the ribbon on...and then tied a bow!...well it became a feminine card.  What do you think?

SU! sell co-ordinating brads in each of the colour families to add that finishing touch to a card.  Here I have added a Marina Mist brad to the corner of the sentiment.

Well Worn = Masculine

I have so much DSP that I vowed I wouldn't order another pack till I had used some up, but (isn't there always a 'but'?) I was seeking some ideas for masculine cards.  I have made a sample book of all the DSPs and loved the look of Well Worn.  Teamed with the stamp set Extreme Elements, I made four cards based on a design by Carla Bazhenow which you can see here.
The DSP is so striking that it doesn't need much else.

For this one, I stamped one of the images from Extreme Elements.

This one is also has one of the Extreme Elements images stamped onto the DSP.  The sentiment is a perfect masculine one, from Happiest Birthday Wishes, one of the current hostess sets.

I made insides for all four cards but I'll just show you the inside for the card above.  A bit of sponging around the edges and one simple image in the corner.



And the last one I roughed up a bit more.  I wish I had put the brads a bit closer together.

That's topped up my supply of masculine cards for a little bit and hopefully given you some inspiration!
