Stamp Simply #87 - For the Guys!

Keyword ssnotime87 -There is no time limit. You can play this challenge and upload yourproject at Splitcoastand/or your Blog, anytime at all! You (and that means anyone and everyone, blogger or not!)can play as many times as you like!!! The point is to keep it simple, quick and have fun!!! Please link back here.

FOR THE GUYS - When I first started stamping I did a ton of masculine cards, living in a houseful of guys, but I slowly got away from it and now don’t do nearly enough of them. Fathers’ day is still a month away, but we have all sorts of occasions to give those guys in our lives cards — so make a card for one of those guys in your life, but there is one more stipulationlets make sure our cards include either string, rope, cording or knots of some sort – which is what I used to include on guy cards all the time when I did them years ago. So pull out those *rugged ribbons* - LOL — and let’s create for those guys in our lives!!!

Check out the greatsamples for the Stamp Simply Challenge today on the blogs of these designers:

What wonderful samples!!! Thank you girls!!! Much appreciated!!!

Heres myguy creationfor today:

I think it fits the bill: masculine, string, knots, Stamped Simply! Not a whole lot to say! As before, I put down a narrow strip of red sticky tape across the card front and then wrapped my string on top of it — holds the string perfectly!!! I like this rugged look on a guy card. I was happy to be able to make my own THANKS in a size I wanted by using my JustRite Times New Roman Uppercase Font. Simple card — enough said!

Stamps: Times New Roman Font Uppercase used on the Harmony Rectangle Stamper by JustRite.

Paper: PTI Vintage Cream, Granola DP by Basic Grey.

Cosmo Lil’ Man Thanks

Today I needed a thank you card for one of my boys to send –a perfect time to try out my new Lil’ Man papers by Cosmo Cricket! Perhaps these papers make it a bit less *mature* than I was after, but these papers are so fun and I love the colors! Just because my guys perfer dark, drab and plain cards doesn’t mean they all have to be that way, now does it!!! Here it is:

lil-man-thanks-480-wm-notime.jpg

I think it’s fun! Both patterns used are on the same sheet called Dapper Dan in the Lil’ Man Series by Cosmo Cricket. They were a perfect match with my Prism cardstock in Blush Dark Red(I LOVE this deep, rich shade of red)and Tawny Medium. Just a simple card, pretty much just playing with paper and one simple sentimentcut and embossed on my LabelsTwo Die by Spellbinders. The dots along the bottom were punched with an old-fashioned 1/4″ hand held punch. I then attached each dot to the card with a mini glue dot. It gives just a bit of dimension that I like, very easily and quickly. My sentiment panel is topped with a SU Mini Library Clip (these are so cute!!, I finally bought some!!!) and my bottom corners are rounded. That’s about it!!!

Stamps: SU retired Cheery Chat

Paper: PTI Vintage Cream, Prism Blush Dark Red and Tawny Medium, Cosmo Cricket Lil’ Man (Dapper Dan)

Ink: Versa Fine Onyx Black

Accessories: Spellbinders Labels Two Nestabilities; SU Mini Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Mini Library Clip, Corner Rounder; Ancient 1/4″ hole punch; Glue Glider.

Note: My Prism Papers and Versa Fine Ink are from Stampers Dream.

My Labels Two Nesties, Cosmo Cricket Paper and Glue Glider are from Joan’s Garden.

This was the first card I’ve made in a week — WOW — that was a long time!!! Hoping to get back into a more regular routine!!! Hope you had a great weekend and that you can look forward to a good week ahead!!!

Stamp Simply SUO Birthday

This was a really quick birthday card I put together this morning using all the papers still on my table from yesterday’s sympathy cards. I used all the same cardstock and I flipped the DP over to the other side — I was in a super rush and it worked for me!!! This is for ayoung man and I think it does have a masculine-enough feel, while still using some great colors!

star-hb-480-wm-notime.jpg

The interest on this card comes in part from the use of an embossing folder and my Scor-It to create double embossed lines above and beneath my zig zag embossing — SUCH a quick way to dress up a card when you’re in a rush.

Hint: Sometimes I have a bit of a hard time getting these narrow embossing folders straight on my paper. Well, if you score one line first, then you can butt your folder up against the scored line and it’s guaranteed to come perfectly straight. Then after runningit through the Cuttlebug with the folder, THEN I go back and add my other embossed lines on the Scor-It.

Stamps: Its Your Birthday

Paper: Whisper White, Not Quite Navy, Kiwi Kiss, Urban Garden DP

Ink: Black Stazon, Craft White

Accessories: Large Star Punch, Vintage Brads, Scor-It, Cuttlebug, Embossing Folder

And before I go today, I’d like to introduce you to one of my very best friends IRL. I know many of you know her already from her activitiy over at SCS. Her name is Deb, or DeborahLynneS, at SCS. She starting blogging just a couple weeks ago and has some fun and fabulous projects posted over at Dream In Color. Stop in and take a look - you will NOT be disappointed!!! HUGE CONGRATS, Deb, on your new Blog!!!! Best wishes –

That’s it for today - just a simple little card using all Stampin’ UP! product. This week will continue with more simple cards, and I AM in an SU mood this week!!! Hope your week is going well!!! Thanks so much for stopping in!

Acorn Thanks

Still playing with First Fruits by Papertrey Ink. This is my 3rd day of uploads using this autumn set. Today’s card features the acorn image — fun!! I will have anotherpost using the pinecones and boughs, but that’ll have to wait for a few days. I made this card specifically for a man, and I think these papers work great for a masculine card — still using the Fall Harvest Mat Pack by K & Co. from Michaels. I’m really enjoying these rich autumn papers. They are heavy and almost have a feeling of being coated — just a small pad, but it’ll easily get me through this autumn season.

acorn-thanks-480-wm-notime.jpg

  • Stamps: First Fruits by Papertrey Ink
  • Paper: PTI White, SU Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Ruby Red, Fall Harvest Mat Pack by K & Co.
  • Ink: Versa Fine Onyx Black, SU Really Rust, Close to Cocoa, Old Olive, Ruby Red.
  • Accessories: Leaf Punch by McGill, SU Aged Copper Hodgepodge Hardware, Corner Rounder, Ticket Corner Punch, Dimensional.

Again, a simple card. The acorn is stamped on the white, and the acorn cap is then stamped on another sheet, cut out and popped up. I enjoy the options with all the words offered in this set — and a simple “Thankful for you” is just what I needed here. My leaves are punched, and I get a lot of questions every time I use this punch. Here’s a close-up:

acorn-thanks-420-leaf-closeup-notime.jpg

I first stamp the paper with a bit of background stamping, tone on tone, and really, just about any stamp will do, just to get a bit of visual texture on the paper. Then punch out the leaves, then I quickly draw in some vein lines — nothing fancy — just some quick lines, then I sponge the edges of the leaves, again tone on tone. Finally, I curl up the ends a bit with my fingers before adhering to the card. And WHERE to find this punch is always the question — it is made by McGill. I purchased it years ago in a small LSS in Wisconsin. I recently did a Google search and couldn’t find it, but they do have aleaf in another shape, which is equally as nice. If anyone else searches and does happen to find this punch, I’d sure appreciate knowing where — thanks!!!

Editing: Oh my gosh — you guys are TOO great!!! Susan Roberts (rainy) found this leaf punch here, and Judy Walsh found some FABULOUS leaf punches by Marvy that both cut AND emboss the veins at the same time — to die for!!! But they are a bit pricey as you need to buy them in a set of 3 for $60 - ouch!!!! But they look wonderful — see them here. THANK YOU LADIES — YOU ARE THE BEST!!!! OK, here’s one of those alone for $22, and another and the third! OR, check out this set ofHarvest dies by Spellbinders, and this page has more Spellbinder dies. Thanks, Jerri Kay, for pointing out the Spellbinder dies — fabulous!!!

And tomorrow we have our regular Friday Stamp Simply Challenge — but we’ve added a fun twist to it for the next 6 weeks — so be sure to stop in and see what we all have up our sleeeves — it’ll be super fun to play along!!! Again, I’m so glad you took the time to stop in — thank you so much!!! We are still enjoying beautiful fall weather, mildly warm with beautiful breezes — can’t get much better!!! Hope you are having a great week as well!!!

Stamp Simply - For the Guys!

Today my youngest son asked for a birthday card for his good friend who is turning 19. My boys often ask me for cards, and the request is always followed by a statement something like this — “and please, Mom, don’t make it anything like your normal cards.” So, what would you make of that — LOL!!! Basically, they prefer a plain white card with a simple black sentiment on it — nothing more — LOL!!! And I have done plenty of those, believe me — but I went out on a limb today — and here’s what I made:

for-the-guys-500-wm-notime.jpg

I thought this would do well for a 19 year old fellow??? Andthis is certainly aStamp Simplytype of card. This layout is basically the same as yesterday, only this card is oriented horizontally rather than vertically. Here’s the measurements:

  • Card: Standard 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
  • Scarlet’s Letter DP:
    • Top Grey - cut 3″ high;
    • Bottom Dots - cut 1 1/4″ high;
    • Center red strip cut 3/4″ and attached to the top of the dotted piece

As with yesterday’s card — I attached the top DP piece first, then I attached the bottom piece (which has the thin strip already adhered to it), and these are cut so the bottom overlaps the top just a bit, but rather than attaching the DP directly to the card front as I did yesterday, this time I attached it to a light gray sheet, so it appeared to be matted.

To make my sentiment, I stamped Celebrate from Many Sentiments onto white and cut and embossed with a ribbon slide die by Spellbinders. I would have preferred the double ended tags for this masculine card, but I don’t have them. So, I used the ribbon slide, which has wider slots on the ends to run ribbon through. Since I didn’t want ribbon on this card (under the circumstances — LOL!), I inserted 2 brads into each slot — I thought that looked nice and masculine - LOL!!! I then adhered this all to my black card and was done!

I do like this for a guyish card — and my son’s comment — “why the polka dots?”!!! I told him these are metalish guy type dots, not girly polka dots - LOL!!! He’s OK with it — he’ll use it — but it may be back to the plain white paper and black ink for the next one — LOL!!!

Grads, Monograms and Tassel Tutorial

This post comes a day late, but at least it’s here now!!! And 10 Minute Tuesday will be about a 1/2 day late as well, but it’s coming!!! Trying real hard to get caught up!!!

This is a fairly quick and easy grad card for a guy, featuring a *somewhat personalized* monogram made with the JustRite Monogram Stamper (C-45) and the Harlequin stamp set by Flourishes. When I say *somewhat personalized* what I mean is, rather than having the graduates name on each card I make (I had 8 cards to do for grads from this school), I found it much quicker to put on the year and a simple *Congrats BHS Grad*. This way theyget their year and their school name on the card, though not their own name = somewhat personalized!!! Using the C-45 I can kick out 8 of these in a matter of seconds, as opposed to the time it would take to change the grads name on each, so — it works for me!!! Oh, and I loved the colors to work with — our school colors are purple and gold and the class colors were black and white — a great combo!!!

tassel-tut-card-520-wm-notime.jpg

I used the Small Letters and the Medium/Large Numbers on the Monogram Stamper (C-45) to make this monogram. However, since all the letters and numbers are interchangeable from the C-45 to the smaller wooden stampers, and vice versa, I could have just as easily done this with one of the smaller wooden stampers. Personally, I just prefer the ease of being able to stamp out many of the same monogram super quickly with the C-45.

The grid pattern is done with Harlequin by Flourishes, stamped tone on tone on the Eggplant Paper, with the diamond centers being gold embossed. The gold matting layerson the grid image and the monogrammed image are made with gold metallic cardstock. The monogrammed image and all layers are cut and embossed using the Circle Nestabilities.

  • Stamps: Harlequin by Flourishes and the JustRite Monogram Stamper C-45 by JustRite.
  • Paper: White, Black Textured, Elegant Eggplant, Gold Metallic.
  • Ink: Black, Elegant Eggplant, Versa Mark.
  • Accessories: Gold Embossing Powder, Tassel (tutorial below), Circle Nestabilities by Spellbinders, Mini Glue Dots, Mounting Squares.

The tassel on this card is home made and a tutorial follows. I have received a lot of questions from readers as to where I get these — well, it is getting to be a problem. I have picked up the bookmark sized tassles with the longer strings at craft stores often times. The short ones that I’ve been using for graduation tassels have become hard to find. They used to always be in the sewing section of Wal-Mart, but I haven’t been able to find them in black for months, though the last time I checked they did have the gold. Here’s a picture of what I’ve been buying, and what I just made and used on the card above:

tassell-tut-compare-520.jpg

The tutorial that follows will all be done in thumbnails, so just click the photos if you’d like to see larger views.

tassel-tut-supplies-520.jpg

The first thing we need to do is make our little template. I used a lightweight chipboard coaster, but I think a heavy one would have worked better. I cut it to 13/4″ wide and then measured 1/4″ down from the top and drew a line with a ruler and pen. Then I used my Word Window Punch and punched just under that line, and off the end of the chipboard, as shown. The black string I am using is Crochet Cotton from Wal-mart with all the other crochet threads, near the yarns. I think DMC Embroidery Floss would work as well, but I didn’t have the right color and our Wal-Mart doesn’t carry that anymore either. But this Crochet Cotton worked just great!

tassel-tut-wrap-480.jpg

Start by wrapping the Crochet Cotton around your template as shown, over the opening. I wrapped mine about 15 complete rounds. Let long tails hanging down when done.

tassel-tut-band-480.jpg

Now take a nice big darning needle with a largeeye and run a length of Crochet Cotton through the eye and just tie the thread on at the eye so it doesn’t keep falling off as you wrapa band around the threads — see photo — you are wrapping this band in the open area. I wrapped it around about 10 times. Then tie it tightly in the back. When I was done tying it, I put a Mini Glue Dot over my knot, just so I can see that tiny blackknot again and to make sure the knot holds. Let your leftover strings hang down.

tassel-tut-hang-480.jpg

Thread your needle with another length of thread. Run it under the top portion of the loop, as shown in the photo, keeping your thread doubled. Cut the end so you can get the needle off, and then tie it into a knot that you can slide down close to the base. I don’t know what knots are called. I just loop it around my finger and pull it through itself, then slide it down and tug to make it tight — if that makes any sense.

Now you can take your scissors, insert them under the threads right at the bottom and cut them. Now you can slide the entire tassell off the framing and give it a little haircut to take care of those long ends that were left hanging, and it should be done!!! When I attach it to the card, I make sure the Mini Glue Dot is on the back, and use that to help adhere it to the card.

I hope this helps some with the tassel dilemna!!! 10 Minute Tuesday will be late, but hope to get it up sometime on Tuesday!!! Sorry, but I’m trying to get back on track!!! Thanks so much for stopping in!!!

Stamp Simply Challenge #35 - Trio of Panels

Keyword ssnotime35-There is no time limit. You can play this challenge and upload yourproject at Splitcoastand/or your Blog, anytime at all! You (and that means anyone and everyone, blogger or not!)can play as many times as you like!!! The point is to keep it simple, quick and have fun!!! Please link back here.

The challenge this week is to create a trio of panels for your card. Your panels can be any size or shape, and you may put them on your card in any configuration at all — just get 3 panels on your card — that’s it!!! I love making pieces and then quickly putting them all together to form a card — and I love working in 3’s — so this challenge combines them both!!! Just have fun and, as always, try to keep it simple!!

Here are some samples:

Check out Julie Koerberssample here.

Check out Dee Jacksons sample here.

Check out Tammy Hershbergers sample here.

Check out Jennifer Bucks sample here.

Check out Janine Orchards sample here.

Check out Becky Oehlers Sample here.

What a fabulous Stamp Simply Team!!! Thank you girls!!! Much appreciated!!!

And here is my sample:

35-trio-of-panels-480-wm-notime.jpg

This card is 5.5″ square and I use 6″ envelopes, so even though the top sentiment circle extends beyond the top of my card, it still fits in the envelope. My 3 white panels are cut 1.5 x 4.25″, and narrowly matted. My ties, from Menswear by Flourishes, are paper pieced onto Boxer paper by Basic Grey. That is the greatest paper for guys — just love it!!! The sheets look exactly like material for either cotton boxer shorts or silk ties — LOL!!! I decided to go with the silk ties for today!!!! The brads for tie tacks are SU.

The Happy 60th Birthday was easily done using the JustRite D.I.Y Monogram Stamper (C-45). I used the Small Letters for the perimeter Happy Birthday and for the *th* on 60th, and I used the Medium/Large Numbers for the 60. After stamping it on white paper, it was then cut and embossed using my Circle Nestabilitiesand then matted. The sentiment could justas easily have said Happy Father’s Day on the perimeter with a larger DAD in the center — how fun!!!

  • Stamps: Menswear by Flourishes; JustRite DIY Monogram Stamper (C-45), Small Letters, Medium/Large Numbers.
  • Paper: White, Black, Boxer 6 x 6 pad by Basic Grey.
  • Ink: Versa Fine Onyx Black

A JustRite Graduation

The graduation announcements are starting to flow in, so I thought I’d better get busy!!! I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to try out the numbers and small letters that can be purchased to go with the DIY Monogram Stampers by JustRite — which, as you may know, is my latest obsession!!! I have always loved monograms, but rarely did them, having to fuss with perfect alignment of letters within frames, etc. But, now — well, it couldn’t be easier and I’m having so much fun!!!

jr-mini-letters-480.jpg

I wanted to personalize this graduation card with the recipients name, and the small letters are perfect for that. They are small, and I mean VERY small!!! They come with a set of tweezers to pluck them out of their tray and pop them into the groove in the stamper. Once in the groove, you can just use the tweezers to scoot them over to get them spaced properly. To be perfectly honest, I was a bit apprehensive about using these tiny letters — my eyes are every bit of their 54 years, properly clad in bifocals, and somehow over the years my fingers have become clumsy, and are no longer nimble. But, where there’s a will, there’s a way — so I picked up the tweezers and away I went — and, much to my surprise, it was truly no problem at all!!! It was quite easy to get the little letters into thegroove on the stamper, and then very easy to move them about once in the groove. It was certainly not the challenge I feared it might be!!! And that’s a good thing!!! But after I show you the finished card, I will give you some little hints. Here’s the card:

jr-grad-tyler-500-wm-notime.jpg

I personalized the monogram with Congrats Tyler around the outer perimeter in the Small Letters. The center 2008 was done with the medium numbers from the Large and Medium Numbers package. These were stamped using the DIY Monogram Stamper C-45. However, this also could have been stamped with any of the smaller Kits.

Question: Now let me address another question I’ve been getting all day long — people are wondering how these circle images work with the SU 1 1/4″ and 1 3/8″ punches. Well — they don’t. These images done on the C-45 and thewooden stamper (the Classic Stamper) with the wording on the ring around the border are too large for the 1 1/4 and 1 3/8″ SU punches. They work perfectly with the Circle Nestabilites by Spellbinders. I still don’t have my Circle Nestabilities, so again, I had to make due without, which isn’t always a bad thing — it stretches the imagination!!! I’ve been doing these in squares, but really wanted a rounded image for this card, so I punched my monogram with a 2″ Marvy Punch. I then used my Oval Nestabilitiesto make a matted oval on which I mounted my circle punched monogram — then I just added the gold brads to finish off the look!!! I was very pleased with the end result of my monogrammed piece!!!

Now, to make the rest of the card, I used the Harlequin set by Flourishes, stamped in Elegant Eggplant and the diamond centers are embossed in gold. The far left Elegant Eggplant strip is stamped with Damask in Versa Mark for a subtle flourishy look. I used a strip of Gold Metallic Paper as piping between my Harlequin and Damask, and also as the card front. The tassel is a bookmark type of tassell I got at Wal-Mart. Such fun personalizing these cards!!!

  • Stamps: Harlequin, Damask, DIY Monogram Stamper, Numbers and Small Letters, all available at Flourishes
  • Paper: Black, White, Elegant Eggplant, Gold Metallic from Flourishes
  • Ink: Black, Elegant Eggplant, Versa Mark
  • Accessories: Gold Embossing Powder, Tassel, Gold Brads, Petite Oval Nestabilities, 2″ Marvy Punch, Pop Dots, Mini Glue Dots

jr-mini-scrap-480.jpg

Hint: Now, if you think you’d like to get the set of small alphas, here’s a little tip. Before you ever take even one out of the tray, justink the entire set as one unit and stamp it on a piece of paper for future reference. Once taking out many small stamps, having the stamped reference sheet proves to be invaluable when looking at the small letters and not being able to tell a comma from an apostrophe, etc.It’s a simple thing to do and will be helpful intheend!!!

Links: I’ve seen several personalizedcards of recent done with these small alphabets that I’d like to link for you to see, in case you’ve missed them.Here they are:

Jerri Kay — A Gift Set of Cards with Box — this is the group photo, there are individual photos as well (not the small alphabets, but worthy of a look)!!!

Kellie Fortin – Boy’s Birthday Project

Kellie Fortin — Altered Band Aid Box done by 10-year old Jack — very cool!!!

Susan Roberts – Boy’s Birthday Card (plus a gorgeous WeddingCard)

Debbie Olson — Anniversary Card

Aren’t they fun!!! Thanks so much for stopping in again!!! We have a really simple Stamp SimplyChallenge linedup for Friday, so please check back for that!!! Hope you are having a great week!!!

Menswear/Cards for Dad

The Menswear set by Flourisheswas released today!!! What a great set for masculine cards!!! It features a shirt, tie, mug and many sentiments, and here’s my latest:

striped-shirt-520-real-wm-notime.jpg

This set is so fun to play with. I did this for today’s TLC challenge at SCS to try paper tole, but NOT with a flower, which is how you typically see it done. The instructions were to stack the images to provide dimension to the key features — fun!!! But in all honesty, I’m not sure if I did this right, but it’s my attempt!!! My shirt and tie were actually two different stamps, each stamped on different papers, they layered to provide dimension.

The shirt was stamped on Soft Sky and the tie was stamped on the diagonal on a sheet of striped paper to give the diagonal stripes in the tie. Additionally, the shirt was run through the Cuttlebug with the Stripes embossing folder to give it some additional dimension and texure.

My mug was then stamped and colored with Copics — sorry but I don’t have the colors — various shades of yellows and browns, trying to get a beer mug look, but maybe it looks more like root beer — LOL!!! I tried — I am still very new with my Copics and have barely had a chance to use them (still working on my major stamp room cleaning/reorganizing). After coloring the mug, I then stamped on the sentiment, then added the Liquid Applique foam on top — fun!!! I got my Liquid Applique from Ellen Hutson. I know I couldn’t find it anywhere for the longest time! My mug is then mounted on thicker pop dots to get it above the shirt sleeve. The Cheers sentiment is mounted with a pop dot as well.

All DP used is from one of my favorite Basic Grey packs — Periphery. Love those greens, blues and browns in that pack. Periphery is available at Flourishes, as is the Menswear stamp set.

  • Stamps: Menswear by Flourishes
  • Paper: More Mustard, Black, White, Soft Sky, Periphery by Basic Grey from Flourishes
  • Ink: Versa Fine Onyx Black, Copics in yellows and browns
  • Accessories: Liquid Applique, Brad, Craft Knife, Dimensionals, Pop Dots, Mounting Tape, Large Oval Punch, Cuttlebug, Stripes Embossing Folder

This card is 5.5″ square, one of my favorite sizes. I use 6″ envelopes. Thanks much for looking!!! Hope you have a great week!!!
