Graphic 45 French Country Masculine layout

Today I have another layout for which the opposing page was created years ago.  Luckily, I still had a few of the Fleur de Lys stamped images in my stash.  Though they were not colored, it only took a few seconds to determine how I had colored them...nothing compares to the shimmer of Wink of Stella pens.  Of course, I had more of this wonderful Graphic 45 papers.  Many of the Graphic 45 papers I have were purchased in packs of 25 at Tuesday Morning. I have shared and I still have pounds and pounds of gorgeous papers.  I know poor me. I have a thing for Fleur de Lys so I had plenty of stamps and two different glitter washi tapes. 


Here is the sketch I used from Pinterest.  This is an oldie but goodie, sometimes I just can't find a current sketch that fits the bill for the pics.  I thought this would be striking with the Graphic 45 papers.  If you like sketches, you should check out my Pinterest page.  I have boards for 1-2 photo sketches3 photo sketches4+ photo sketches and 2 page sketches


Here is a close up of the Cricut cut mat and embellishment cluster.

Graphic 45 French Country and Proper Gentlemen papers
TCP Studio Fleur de Lys
The Paper Studio Fluer de Lis stamp

Hang Ten Dudes and Dudettes!!

I made two versions of this card basically using two different sentiments.
I was inspired by a card I found on Pinterest.  I used Distress inks and a water color brush to create he scene inside the circle.  I cut the circle with Spellbinders nesting dies so there is a nice embossed line in the exact center.  I used a wood grain paper and wood dots to create the porthole effect.



And the second one which is actually the first one.  I wasn't as pleased with the ocean and sky.  I used a slightly different colors for the sky on this one.  I also used the stamped image as the palette on this one so the waves are less distinct.  On the one above I stamped the image and picked up more ink from the pad to fill in the light parts of the ocean.  The birds turned out better on this one.




Ingredients:
Distress inks:  Antique Linen, Tea Dye, Tumbled Glass, Chipped Sapphire and Faded jeans (oxide)
Stamplorations True North (lighthouse quote)
Our Daily Bread Designs (waves quote)
Stampin Up High Tide
Spellbinders circle dies
Woodgrain paper

misc papers

Quick Quotes Anchors Aweigh Down by the Sea layout

Hello Quick Quotes followers, I have for you a Pinterest inspired layout.  I searched beach layouts to get some inspiration when I found this one, I just had to make it my own.  


I used all sorts of die cuts but my favorite element is the doily that I inked up with Sunset PowderPuff Chalking Ink and Peach Tree PowderPuff Chalking Ink.  The layers fit perfectly on top of this large doily.  

I also made my own bottle with a layer of paper and a layer of acetate. The paper has a very subtle image of ships on it so it is my "ship in a bottle".  I cut a small piece of cork to serve as the stopper and hold the two layers together making your own embellishments can be so fun!


Quick Quotes Products used:



Other products used:
Tim Holtz Sand and Sea, Flourish, bottle & tattered bow dies
CTMH cricut font
acetate and cork
assorted brads
doily, shells and netting

 I made a couple of masculine Valentine's cards today.


Here's the pin.

Nuts About You, Really Good Greetings, Maggie Mata, #masculine, #handmadecards, Stampin' Up!

I made my "nuts" out of punches,  I am not sure how the "originals" were made.  About the only thing I did different is use a embossing folder for my red layer.  My son said he liked that touch. My sentiment is, of course, different, too. 

Ingredients:
Hero Arts Trees, Birds and Sentiments stamp
Creative Memories 1.5" hex punch
Stampin Up .5" circle punch
Darice steel plate embossing folder
white, red and black shimmer card stock
DCWV silver metallic card stock

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:




I made two versions of this card.


I didn't have an "xoxo" stamp (that I could find anyway...I am only half way through cataloging stamps) so I used a new CTMH Alpha set.  The lower case fit in the squares better but I like the fancier upper case so I tried it that way, too.


Here's the pin!

Good idea for wash tape-cute card

I hand cut the little tag.  Let me know which version you like best and I will send a little candy in the mail!  I will choose among those who ANSWER the question and must also be a follower!  Winner announced this week!

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:





Ingredients:
Kraft card stock
Quick Quotes Midnight Confession chalk
