Just sharing a birthday card I made for a male friend at work.

Cool stamps, huh?  I used this month's free Sweet Incentive stamp set if you spend over $60 in the store called Hastag Hipster.  I also used the smile stamp from the Wanderlust set to create the background and added a bit of interest using the Build-A-Background Basics border stamp.

There's a new SugarSketch challenge - check out the blog to see how you can join in for a chance to win a Gift Certificate to the store.  I'm off now but I'll be back soon-ish!

Nothing's better than special delivery

Well, of course there's chocolate and champagne but getting a handmade card through the post feels really good too!  I made this card using some gorgeous SugarPea Designs goodies...

I this this set is great for guys - cute but not too cute!  I used the Happy Mail stamp set and the paper planes are from the Special Delivery set, cut with the die from the Special Delivery Accents die set.  I created the frame using two different sizes from my Nesties squares dies.  And do you like the blue and orange background?  I can't tell you about them yet, but consider it an unofficial sneak peek!!

For the background I used one of the borders from this month's freebie stamp set (you can get if you spend more than $60 in the store) called Build-A-Background - Basics.

That's it from me today.  Thank you for visiting and I'll be back later in the week so for now - have a great week!

Card for an amazing guy

Here is my first design team card for Docrafts which some of you may have already seen if you're a Docrafts Club Member and get access to stuff before everybody else...

Not relying on stamped images is pretty hard - it's usually the main focus to work around so having to create a different type of focal point was pretty hard for me!  Once I had come up with an idea though it was quite easy to put together.  I think this card would be great for a male birthday card or even a congratulations for something card! What is for certain though is that I want to give this to my nephew!

Here are the Docraft goodies I used:

Stars A6 3D Embossing Folder

Kraft Pocket Tags 

Kraft Gift Tags & Jute 

Sentiment Collection download (free, get it here!)

Precision Scissors

Solid Black Adhesive Stones set

You can find Docraft stockists over at the website here.  I hope you like my card as much as I do!  I'm always pleased when I can make a male card as they are usually so hard to do!  Thanks for visiting and I'll see you again soon!

Merry Christmoose!

It's time for a new Sugar Sketch over at the SugarPea Designs blog today and I really love this one.  I don't normally like sketches as find them far too restrictive, but I knew what I wanted to do this with one as soon as I saw it!  What do you think?

As you can see, I flipped the sketch and I also used the Merry Christmoose set along with the circle from the Sugar Cuts layered treat label die set and star from the Gift Tag die set.  I wanted to create a male orientated card so I used these masculine papers by Digital Design Essentials.  Here's a look at those gorgeous SPD goodies...

   

Check out what the rest of the design team did with the sketch over at the blog here.  I'll be back later in the week so see you then!
