Smokin' Hot fun

It's release day for Whimsie Doodles and I have a smokin' hot card for you.  I was attempting to make it look like Koale was on a patio but forgot to add the stone work so now it looks like he's on the road.  Don't BBQ on a road!! You'll NEVER get anything done. hahahahaha

Way to go DUDE!

Hi all.  I skipped by TGF challenge blog and found my card as the Mystery Monday challenge.  How cool is that??  I was so thrilled about it that I sat down and CASEd my own card.  Stop by TGF challenge blog and play along (they have a prize for one lucky player). 

Here's my card.

I used Dress Me Anya and Ian and Wardrobe2 from The Greeting Farm to make this card.  Sorry there are no links to these sets as I can not locate them in the store.

World's Best DAD

Today is an extra special day, not only is it Father's Day but it's also my husband's birthday.  He's a diesel technician so he works with his tools everyday that's why his card had to have a tool on it. I free handed the wrench shape and scrap paper the cut it out to use as a pattern.  Cut it out of grey cardstock and sponged the edges with black ink.

I made a second card for all those Dad's out there that tie one on Mon-Fri.

The sentiment is called World's Best-Verve Stamps

I made patterns for both cards so if you want'em download them here.

Dad's day tickets

It's Whimsie Wednesday time and this week's challenge is to use a die or die cut on your work.  Pretty simple.  Stop by the Whimsie Doodles blog and upload your card, there's a free digi to one lucky player.
Today I made a coupon book for Father's day.  It was pretty easy as most of the work was already done for me all I had to do was print off the Dad's tickets and decorate them.  Oh and add the heart shaped die.

Take a Spin

Good morning!  Today's card is kinda special, you see it's a masculine card and I have a hard time making these types of cards.  Why? Well it's a mental thing really, I mean I love to put ribbon and buttons on my cards and to me it looks very girly so when I set out to make a "man card" I try to avoid those things.  And well avoiding the things you love only make the process very difficult.  So for this card I switched the ribbon for string.  Oh and today is my husband's birthday (the whole reason I needed a man card). 

I used the new Harley Bikes from Bombshell stamps to make this card.  If your looking for some really great "manly" stamps then check out Bombshell Stamps.  They have some really fabulous totally vintage images from Hot Rods and Motorcycles to Tattoo to and Pin Ups.
