A Card For Him!

Hi Guys,

I do hope your all well!

Just a quick post to share with you a card I made for my youngest Brother and when I saw this photo stamp from Darkroom Door I knew it would suit my Brother to a tee!

So Here's My Card



I used the Crayon Resist Technique and Distressed around all my card stock edges to give it a nice old look.
It was a quick and easy card to make and I LOVE this stamp, can't wait to play with it again lol!

Here's the goodies I used to make my card:
~Stampin' Up! Card Stock and Inks in Chocolate Chip and Always Artichoke
~Sanded Background Stamp From SU!
`'Old Truck' Photo stamp From Darkroom Door
~Tim Holtz Distressing Inks In Shabby Shutters and Broken China
~Tim Holtz Paper Distresser
~3D Foam Tape
~Jute Twine
~White Crayon
~Black Memento Ink

I love the way the truck has resist the inks and pops!

So if you haven't tried the Crayon Resist Technique before, give it a go, it's fun and easy and a good excuse to raid your Children's Crayon box for their White Crayons lol!
Splitcoaststampers have a easy to follow tutorial and video that you can find HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Till next time, Take Care, Hugs and smiles,

Father's Day Card

Hi Guys,
Hope your all well and everything in your part of the world is going great for you! Sorry for the long delay in posting, where dose the time go lol!

Just want to share this card I made for Father's Day. I used my new Cuttlebug Diamond Plate Embossing folder and took inspiration from Leigh's wonderful Cuttlebug cards.
I was trying to emboss with tin foil and I brought loads of different brands, but found it wasn't working for me and Hubby suggested to use a soft drink(coke)can(I didn't have the heart to tell him that it's not his original idea and that I've seen it on the net somewhere but forgot all about it until he mention it lol) and presto, it went through my BigKick like butter and I LOVE the end result

So here's my card



Most Products Used By Stampin' Up!
~Occasional Greetings Stamp Set
~Basic Grey, Basic Black and Whisper White Card Stock
~Black Stazon and Versamark Ink
~Clear Embossing Powder and Heat Gun
~Hemp Twine
~Cuttlebug Diamond Plate Embossing Folder
~Pop Up Foam
~Coke Can

I'm over the moon with the end result, LOVE IT lol!
