Bonus Guy Card

 

I missed a birthday and needed a belated card for a "gearhead".

That blob behind the car is supposed to resemble smoke

from the burning rubber of the tires,

peeling out in a hurry to send late birthday wishes ;) 

SUPPLIES:

Rubbernecker Mustang image

Other images from Stampin' Up! 

Chevron border punch

silver mini brad

Thanks for looking 

Guy Card 7

I mentioned several posts ago that I made 

numerous masculine cards,

well here is the final one.

Everything used on this card came from Stampin' Up!,

most of which is from the Geared Up Garage suite.

The decorative strip that resembles a road was made by

myself with a white gel pen on black card stock.

The "smoke" from the tires "burning" was an image

in the set stamped onto vellum then hand cut out.

The sentiment tag is altered and uses two different stamp sets.

The one in the Geared Up Garage set says Happy Father's Day. 

This was an experiment to try to change it to Birthday

and it worked pretty well inking up a word from the

Crazy About You stamp set. 

Subtle embossing folder on Smoky Slate card stock

for the card front. I should've stamped the old 

Highways and Byways background stamp on it,

it looks too "empty" to me now.

Image is water colored and has silver ink accents.

Thanks for looking =) 

Guy Card 6

Another card I made recently that many men 

(and some women!) would like to receive.

The stamp images are from Stampin' Up!, One Wild Ride set. 

Geared Up Garage dies, also from Stampin' Up!

Thanks for looking =)

 

Guy Card 5

Another card suitable for a man -

or even a woman that likes hot rods!

The truck image is from Stampin' Up!, Classic Pickups.

It was water colored with inks from my ink pads

using an aqua painter.

The words are also from Stampin' Up!

Heat embossed onto black card stock

to resemble a tire and wheel. 

The patterned paper and die cuts are from

Stampin' Up!, Geared Up Garage.

Diamond Plate embossing folder by Darice.

Papers and inks, Stampin' Up!

We, like many parts of the country, are going to see SNOW today!

Unusual for this late in the season.

We'll also have below freezing temperatures

 coming in the next two nights,

good thing I didn't put out any plants yet.

I was always told "don't plant until after tax day",

but I don't even plant that soon, just in case.

I'd be safe if I used this year's tax day

since it was extended ;) 

Thanks for looking =) 

 

Guy Card 4

This is a flip card/swing card.

I used a die from Sizzix to cut the base.

Darice Diamond Plate embossing folder

Gears from Stampin' Up!, Garage Gears dies

HB die cut from chipboard and patterned paper 

(Stampin' Up! Geared Up Garage papers) with 

thick cut alphabet dies from Sizzix. 

happy birthday are stamps from Stampin' Up!. Flexible Phrases

Paper punch a red circle

Guy Card 1

If you are looking for masculine card inspiration,

I have several to share with you the next week. 

We have many friends and family members

that are "gear heads", so I like to make 

automotive themed cards for their birthdays.

Most of those birthdays are at this time of year!

This first card uses images from a Tim Holtz/Hero Arts set.

They are stamped in Early Espresso ink onto Vanilla card stock.

It is combined with two background sets by Stampin' Up!,

Highways and Byways   and Sanded.

Stamped with Crumb Cake and Tip Top Taupe inks.

I stamped the twill ribbon with an image from SU!

The front panel was cut into thirds then glued back in place

onto a piece of Crumb Cake card stock.

It's then layered onto a textured piece of Espresso card stock.

Thanks for looking =)
