One Wild Ride Meets Guy Greetings Masculine Congratulations Card Stampin' Up! UK

You have probably guessed by now, that there are a LOT of men in my family

And so here is another Masculine card for you.

Yes it is a Grungy version of the One Wild Ride card I posted previously.

This one, is the celebrate my middle son getting a new job.

He is a mechanic and has been working with a tool hire company since he got his qualification 10 years ago. He was employed as a mechanic, but worked not only on the companies fleet vehicles, but also stood in with the domestic hire  & Repair work.

The company recently moved him into a more sales & accounts manager, taking him more and more away from what he loves

And that is being up to his armpits in grease

He is also a keen on and off road motorcyclist.

He finally decided to go for it, and specialise

And he was offered not just one, but two jobs, working 100% of the time maintaining and repairing Plant Machinery

And he went with the company that not only is more local, but also the one offering a more competitive salary. I am SO proud of him. He starts in a weeks time and is a bundle of nerves, as most of us are when to make a career change, as we question our ability to do the job. 

So I decided a Card From Mum is what he needed. I hope you like it?

One Wild Ride Meets a Brick Wall Fathers Day Card using Stampin' Up! Products UK

Happy Fathers Day 

Yes, in the UK, Today is the day we celebrate all our Dad's out there

Whether they have passed, as well as those that continue to be the best Dad's they can be

My Dad has faced many challenges in his life, but he has always been there for me and my 3 younger Brothers. I LOVE you Dad! More than words can say

And as a life long Motorbike enthusiast, this just seemed to be the stamp set to use for his Card.

I added some additional sentiments from my faithful Guy Greetings Stamp Set, and these I die cut them using the Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits Dies.

I went with a colour scheme of Basic Gray, White & Dapper Denim

The Badge is one of the stamps in the One Wild Ride Stamp set and I used the co-ordinating Punch.

The art pieces were stamped onto the cardstock After dry embossing  the White panel with the Brick Wall TIEF (Embossing Folder), with the de-bossed side placed face up. This added to the Grungy feel of the card.

Finally I added some little Silver Stars

One Wild Ride Motorcycle Masculine Card

Well, no blog yesterday as we had a day long power cut!! This wet weather is playing havoc 

But I was still out in the workshop, making cards, but with no power, there are still not video's lol

So there I sat, workshop door open to get as much daylight as I could and put on my thinking cap for Fathers Day. I am not sure when you celebrate Fathers Day in the US & other countries, but here in the UK, it is the 19 June

I am sure you will have noticed that I have been making a lot of Masculine cards of late, and now you know why,

Today's card was the result of my first play with this super stamp set called

One Wild Ride

It is SO appropriate for My Family, as my Dad, one of my sons, two of my brothers  and my Uncle are all keen Motorcycle enthusiasts

I am sure I my family is representative of so many families out there.

Swirly Scribbles Faux Emboss technique using Die cuts Stampin Up! UK

I hope your morning is as bright and warm as it is here in sunny Essex (UK)?

So what if we do have torrential rain and thunder storms later ... for now, all is well with my world

My first post pre-order delivery arrived yesterday, and there are some amazing products in there. I cannot wait to start playing with them !!!

If you follow my blog, you will have identified that there is always a lag between my videos tutorials and the blog posts. The reason is that it takes 2-3 days to upload one video, but I do my best to keep the images and the video synchronized.

Today we are talking Swirly Birds and Swirly Scribbles.

These super products from the New Stampin' Up! Catalogue, can be purchased separately, OR save 10% if you purchase the Stamp Set/Intricate Thinlits Die Set as a BUNDLE.

So when you browse the products I have used today (see below), I have given you the Bundle option. Click on any of the icons to view or order then via my online Store

And I have given you four card examples for the price of one. I combined the Swirly Squiggles Stamp Set with the One Big Meaning Stamp Set, to create an additional four examples of today's Bundle ... all have been made using the New In Colours. You will see that there are many other stamps, including stamps to create a sail boat, a kite and much more as you can let your creativity flow!

Elegant Dots Dry Embossed Build A Birthday CASE Card Stampin' Up! UK

  

Welcome to a Fabulous Friday

Today is a super Quick card that I CASED )copy & Share Everything) from the new Annual Catalogue from Stampin' Up!

I have changed it up, as I use the creative ideas within the catalogue (of which there are just SO many), for those days when time is short, or I simply do not have a creative idea in my head for a particular stamp set)

I then make the card my own, by changing it up, so it is not a complete replica of the original. And that means you guys get two creative ideas for the price of one.

You can find the original Build A Birthday design on Page 25 of the catalogue.

I have used the new In Colours for today's project and  I also wanted to show you a different way of creating a banner sentiment.

The Duet Banner Punch, which is curves, as you can see in the photo.

Now here's the thing, Photo-polymer stamps are flexible; and that means you can shape them when mounting them onto an acrylic block .... it is one of those thinking outside the box moments that tends to fly out of our heads, because we see a straight sentiment and just assume it has to be stamped as a straight sentiment.

With the sentiment I used today (included in the Build A Birthday). I mounted the stamp in a curve, to match the curve of the Banner Duet Punch. And it worked a dream!!

Have a go for yourselves, and let me know how you get on.
