Thinking of You – His and Hers

Good morning,

I am currently taking the latest Online Card Class – His and Hers. I was lucky enough to win a spot πŸ™‚

HH_participant

This is my Day 1 Homework. I have made a His and Her card, both using the same sketch and both using the masking technique that Jennifer McGuire showed us in her Day 1 video. I had fun playing with my new Jane’s Doodle Stamp set called Doodle Flowers to create these single layer cards. Both of these cards use the set. For the His card, I used one of the leaf stamps and created a background. Does it work as a masculine card?

Thinking of You - Her card

Your're in my Thoughts - His card

Friday Feature at AnnaBelle Stamps

For this week’s Friday Feature at AnnaBelle Stamps, the Belles are showcasing the All Things Grow Stamp set. Such a great set to own as it has so many different uses. I wanted to use this set in a way I have never used before. I ended up using the reed image in the lower right hand corner and some masking, to make 3 different projects.

All things grow

I think these cards would be great for a male.

Happy Birthday

Papertrey April Blog Hop

The challenge is to make a project with a design on an angle. I have been seeing lots of striped goodness lately – so I thought I would give it a go.

With love

I am currently on holidays and so have had some extra crafty time. This is a card I made last week for a challenge, but as usual, I deliberated way too long and missed the deadline. I spent about a week deciding whether to put some of the dots back inside the holes – randomly, in a pattern…oh the dilemma! It is quite laughable really, but in the end I opted for no dots!

I am trying the slanted look – very trendy at the moment, but for this symmetrical girl, it was (and is) a challenge!

With love

Supplies

Stamps: None

Ink: None

Card: Neenah Solar White card stock, Hero Arts Folded Note cards – Grass, Pool, Cerulean, Blush, Mandarin
