This month we are giving you a sneak peek at what is in store for Sale A Bration! Sale a Bration is a great time to get some GREAT FREE products with $5o minimum orders (in the US).

Note: You are going to laugh at me. I am the least tech person – seriously! I had my blog “updated” and there is not one button where it used to be, when I had started this post. So, bear with me as this post is discombobulated a bit and out of place, but I am not sure how to “move things” .. I am SO sorry! 

Let’s share those Digits and Directions:

This is going to be easy to share today! Just follow the kit directions, which are super simple. For beginners to avid crafters. All the card fronts, envelopes, and embellishments are included. You will need paper snips, glue dots and full size ink pads if you prefer.

Welcome to the April edition of the Glitter and Glam Girls Blog Hop!  I hope you enjoyed our first hop last month. I appreciate you stopping by the Chalet. This month we are featuring Masculine Cards.

I have a hard time making masculine cards, so this was a great challenge. Stampin Up! is offering a great suite of product in our Occasions Catalog, called Geared Up Garage and this suite makes it easy to make some GREAT dude cards, for sure!

I have good news too! This stamp set and coordinating dies, are carrying over! Yay! But, the designer series paper is not.. boo! But thats okay.. because you really dont need it with these great stamps. Look at the background I made! I love that “grease spot” stamp. Its so cool and grungy!

Here are the designing digits:

Cut a piece of whisper white card stock at 4 1/4 x 11 inches and score at 5 1/2 inches.

Cut a piece of Smoky Slate card stock at 4 x 5 1/4 inches. Stamp the “grease spot” stamp and the “nuts and bolts” stamp in basic gray. Also stamp the “Happy Birthday” sentiment in basic gray.

I punched a 2 1/4 inch circle w/ my  2 1/4 inch circle punch in basic black.

I used a scrap piece of whisper white cardstock and stamped the mustang in black memento ink and cut out w/ the die and die cut machine. I also cut a piece of 4 x 3/4 inch piece of  tranquil tide card stock

Assemble as pictured. I did use dimensionals on the back of the black circle and also the back of the  mustang car.

A super easy masculine card all set for a dude birthday!

Thank you for stopping by.. now, lets visit my demonstrator friends blogs as well so you can be inspired to make more masculine cards to keep in your stash to have on hand!

Remember, make a card.. send a card! A text or email is nice but receiving a handmade card with your handwriting shows you care and it came from the heart!

Have a great day, make something pretty and get inky! *hugs*

Hello there! Here I am.. again! I finally had some time to stamp between being an innkeeper. Summer is crazy busy and running 2 jobs with the hours I work, can be a bit of a struggle but.. my stamping is what keeps me sane! I wanted to share another card with you. You may recognize it.. yep, it is another CASE (copy and share everything) kind of card! I love the Springtime Impressions Thinlits Dies that coordinate perfectly with the Abstract Impressions Stamp Set (this is found on pages 128-130 of our 2018-2019 Annual Catalog).

To color the watercolor paper that I cut out w/ the thinlit and my big shot, I used a Aqua Painter, filled with water and some of our re-inkers. Its that easy.. and I randomly colored it. Its not perfect, but that was the objective! I just love this card. The sentiment is from the stamp set Rooted In Nature. Its another gorgeous suite of product found on pages 142-144 of our 2018-2019 Annual Catalog).

Recipe for the featured card:

PS I use one of my clear blocks for my ink palette. It comes in really handy and is easy to clean off with a baby wipe and it does not stain as our re inkers are water based inks.

Have a great day.. make something pretty and get inky! *hugs*
