Manly Monday with a tie

For Father's Day or Birthday these are great cards.  The Origami Tie was a little challenging the first time but gets a lot easier with each fold.  Every time I do a tie card I always like to do a flashy tie so the Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper from the Occasions Catalogue was perfect.  

Have to say I will be lost if Teeny Tiny Wishes and the coordinating punches Word Window and Modern Label punches every retire.

I hope you have an awesome week.  Check back later for some more frilly cards and don't forget that the Occasions Catalogue is finished at the end of the week.

An Irish Manly Monday

Happy St. Patties Day to everyone whether you are Irish, part Irish or just for the day!  Green and Gold is a wonderful combination for a St. Patrick's Day card.

Today I used the heart framelit with the Dotted Designer Paper, stamped the Stem from Everything Eleanor added gold sequence, sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes and a layer of Gold Foil Paper.  Have an awesome green day.

Manly Monday

So today I used a bunch of wonderful products from our Spring Catalogue to create this manly birthday card!

So the Honeycomb #129378 embossing folder looks just like the car mats in our van so I had to incorporate it - so manly.

List of Supplies:  Basic Gray Cardstock and Ink, Basic Black Cardstock and Ink, Natural Ivory Cardstock, Natural Trim Ribbon #129287 College Curios #129102 clear, Soda Pop Tops #129388 and 1" circle punch, That's the Ticket #128078 clear.  Last but not least one of my very favourite stamp sets "happy birthday" from Teeny Tiny Wishes #115370 wood.

Does anyone know how I got the sentiment to show up on the ticket?  Leave a comment with your answer, like my Willowbark Stamping Page and I will enter you into a draw for free stamp set of your choice  ($24) from any current Catalogue. Please submit your comment before the next Manly Monday. 

Manly Monday

Today's card is a Manly Valentine.  I really like the black and white with a touch of red. I seem to be taken with the Shimmer Paint (a couple of drops in the spritzer with rubbing alcohol) to just give a beautiful sheen. As you can see I used the Fashionable Hearts Embosslits and the very useful Adorning Accents Heart Edge Embossing Folder.  The Red Glimmer Paper just adds the right amount of Manly Bling.  Of course, Teeny Tiny Wishes for that perfect sentiment in either French or English.

Happy Stamping,
Blessings
