Stampin’ Up! He’s All That Birthday

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything fun?

A while back my neighbor asked me to make invitations for her husband’s 80th birthday party. I finally got around to making a sample to see if she liked it, but the sample is the birthday card that I’m going to give him. The invitations do not have ribbon or embellishments on them. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! He’s All That Bundle along with the He’s The Man Designer Series Paper and the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

I started by embossing a Sahara Sand card front using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Sahara Sand card bae using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered 2 panels of He’s The Man DSP to Early Espresso mats. I adhered the smaller layered panel to the longer layered panel using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of Early Espresso 1/4″ Faux Suede Trim around the layered panels and tied a knot. I adhered the layered panels to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the image from the Stampin’ Up! He’s All That Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink. I cut the image out using the All That Dies. I sponged Sahara Sand Ink around the edges of the die cut image using a Sponge Dauber. I adhered the die cut image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrating you Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of He’s The Man DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Early Espresso mat and then to the inside of the Sahara Sand card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of He’s The Man DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! He’s All That

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? I hope your week has started out productive.

I have another Father’s Day card for you today. You all know how I struggle with masculine cards, and when I get an idea, I try to run with it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! He’s The Man Suite Collection along for my card today.

I started by cutting 2 panels of He’s The Man Designer Series Paper in half diagonally. I adhered the 2 triangles to a Soft Succulent mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the layered panel to an Early Espresso card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered a piece of the Sahara Sand 3/8″ ribbon from the Old Olive & Sahara Sand Twill Ribbon Combo Pack on the card front in a ‘Z’ form with a small amount of Stampin’ Seal.

From a panel of Early Espresso cardstock, I cut out one of the framed dies from the All That Dies. I adhered one of the die-cut sentiments from the He’s All That DSP using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! He’s All That Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered 2 strips of the He’s The Man DSP to either side of the Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat and then to the inside of the Early Espresso card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of He’s The Man DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked today’s masculine card and will give it a try. This He’s The Man DSP makes masculine cards so quick and easy to make. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Brewed For You for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s handsome projects. If you’ve hopped over from Amy Koenders’ blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “For The Men/Boys”.  We can interpret this however we want.  My son’s birthday is next month so I made him a card. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Brewed For You Bundle along with the He’s The Man Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by embossing a Sahara Sand card front using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a strip of He’s The Man DSP to the side of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to a Sahara Sand card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the beer mug and foam images from the Stampin’ Up! Brewed For you Photopolymer Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink twice. I stamped the fill image from the Brewed For You stamp set over the beer mug images in Crushed Curry Ink. I cur the images out using the Brewed Dies. I stamped the sentiment and bubble image from the Brewed For You stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the Basic White panel. I cut the sentiment out using the All That Dies.

I adhered the first beer mug and foam die cuts using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the second beer mug and foam die cuts overlapping the first one using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Brewed for You stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the beer mug, foam and bubble images from the Brewed for You stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the fill image in Crushed Curry Ink over the mug image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sahara Sand mat and then to the inside of the Sahara Sand card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the beer mug, foam and bubble images from Brewed for You stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the beer fill image in Crushed Curry Ink over the stamped mug image. I adhered a panel of He’s The Man DSP to the envelope flap.
