Masculine Plaid

I have a confession... when I first saw the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper, I didn't really care for it.  It just didn't appeal to me.  Then, as usual, after seeing so many great projects with it, I decided to give it a try.  

Here are a couple of cards I whipped out very quickly for some simple, masculine cards.

Recipe:

Whisper White Thick Cardstock - 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5 1/2"
Crushed Curry - 4" x 5 1/4"

Plaid Tidings  DSP - 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"

Crushed Curry - punched with Tailored Tag (twice for each card)

Whisper white- stamped and punched with Tailored Tag - popped up with Stampin Dimensionals

Stamps:  Seaside Notions

Ink:  Cherry Cobbler

And DONE... so simple and so many beautiful colors in the pack to choose from.

Thank you for looking in today!  Happy Monday!

A Good Man

It's birthday time for Uncle Lou and I've been anxious to make this card for his birthday.  Of course, he's nothing like this guy in the chair, as a matter of fact, this week he and my Aunt Erica have been biking (bicycle, not motorcycle) across parts of Pennsylvania.  These two don't sit still, that is for sure!  So, maybe he'll like this relaxing guy for when they return home!

Seaside Notions

These cards were so fast and easy and I really love the simplicity of them. 

Recipe:
Soft Suede - 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5 1/2"
Soft Sea Foam - 3 5/8" x 4 7/8"
Crumb Cake - 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"
Soft Sea Foam - 4" x 5 1/4" (inside panel)

Did you notice the Seahorse and the Sand Dollar are overlapped a bit?  I stamped the Seahorse first and then stamped it again onto a post it note so I could stamp the Sand Dollar over without the line going through the nose. (assuming that's a nose?)

 Inside - Soft Sea Foam (I wish it photographed better!) I thought the color is light enough that it would make a nice inside panel instead of Whisper White or Very Vanilla.

Remember to save cardstock by stamping the sentiment on the panel that will be the mat behind the Crumb Cake and then punching or die cutting.  The Crumb Cake panel will complete cover the punched area and you'll have saved some scraps!

Thank you for looking in today.  If you don't already have a Stampin' Up Demonstrator, I would love to be yours!  Contact me with any questions.  I'd love to hear from you.
