A GOOD MAN

For today's card I have used the A Good Man Stamp Set which is a great male themed set available in the Annual Catalogue.

The image has been stamped in Black Memento Ink and coloured with Stampin' Blends and then die cut with a Stitched Circle Die.

The background has been created with watercolouring and sponging, although I'm not too sure what colours I ended up using (I created this card a few months ago and forgot to write what colours I had used).  I think it was Pool Party and Night of Navy.

The sentiments have been stamped in Night of Navy with the "It's Your Day" having been punched with a 1 3/8" circle punch (which is now retired).  The base card is also Night of Navy.

2. Cut a piece of Real Red cardstock 10 cm x 14.5 cm and adhere to front of base card.
3. Cut a piece of patterned Toile Tidings DSP 9.5 cm x 9.5 cm.
4. Cut a piece of striped Toile Tidings DSP 9.5 cm wide x 5.5 cm in height).
5. Adhere these two pieces of DSP to the Real Red layer (you should have a small overlap).

KYLIE'S DEMONSTRATOR TRAINING PROGRAM MONTHLY BLOG HOP

Hi, and thank you for joining me.  Today I am taking part in the November Monthly Blog Hop for Kylie's Demonstrator Training Program.

We are a group of Stampin'Up! Demonstrators from all around the world that want to learn more to progress in our business.  Blogging helps us to learn and connect with people, inspiring creativity, which is one of the reasons I love Stampin'Up!.

Here is my card created with the Let It Snow Suite of Products available in the Holiday Catalogue.

How cute are the snowmen on this card.

As the snowmen are already printed on the paper with a lovely sparkly shine - no need to stamp any snowmen - although I have stamped a larger tree (from the Snow Front Stamp Set) over the small tree already on the paper in Night of Navy and then also added some Snowfall Accents Puff Paint.

I have also used the co-ordinating colours of Whisper White and Real Red Cardstock and finished the card off with some Real Red Curly Ribbon and a red Jingle Bell.

If you would like to create this simple card I have listed all the products used at the end of this post.  You can click on any of the products and it will take you to my online shop where you can place an order for any of the products you may like.

Of course, today's card was inspired by a number of projects I have seen on Pinterest.

The striped paper is from the Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper.  A variety of cogs have been die cut from Whisper White and Night of Navy cardstock as well as from the Silver Foil Sheets.  A key from the Classic Garage Metal Elements has also been added.
