Let’s craft Together Blog Hop – July 2024 – Masculine Theme

Jul 4, 2024 | Heat Embossing, Let's Craft Together Blog Hop, Masculine | 8 comments

Welcome to this month’s Blog Hop by Let’s Craft Together and thank you for joining us. We are a group of multi-cultural Stampin’ Up!® demonstrators in Australia who have developed a strong friendship though our love of stamping and our admiration of each other’s style of crafting.

Each month one of us sets a challenge that we use for the blog hop. This month’s challenge has a Male theme and was created by Michele Jutrisa and is shown below:

I chose to use the Inspirational Sketches Stamp Set. I was inspired by pics on page 110 of the 2024-2025 Annual Catalogue to use metallics to create a masculine feel and I thought the bird image fit the bill too! It was a little hard to pick up the shine on the card, so I took the 2 bottom pics. I love the way his eye turned out with the Enamel Effects. What do you think?

80th Birthday Card

Feb 17, 2019 | 2019 Occasions Catalogue, 3D-Items, Masculine | 4 comments

Hi Stampers

Welcome back to my blog. I have something a little special to share with you today. A friend’s husband turns 80 next weekend and I wanted to make an explosion box card for him.

When the Classic Garage Suite appeared in the 2019 Occasions Catalogue, I knew that I would be using the stamps and dies for his card as he is an avid car buff.

This is how the card/box looks unopened. As well as the Geared Up Garage stamp set, I have used greetings from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous set and the retired Perfect Pairings set.

I used four colours for the car after researching the original colours of the car. Above is the Mango Melody and below is the Granny Green Apple. The car on the lid is Poppy Parade. I used other elements in the Stamp Set and coordinating Die Set on alternate panels.

This is how the card looks when it is opened. Another Poppy Parade Car and a Pineapple Punch one. I also added an 80 cut from Gold Glimmer Paper using the (sadly) retired Large Numbers Framelits Die Set.
