Use Washi Tape

Good morning, today at Cardz 4 Guyz we begin a new

two weekly challenge. Amy has chosen

Use Washi Tape

Please visit the blog for more details and to see the 

wonderful ideas from the design team. 

I used a blak square card. Matted it with gold mirri card.

Onto a smaller square of black card, I added strips of washi tape,

these were a super price in The Works. 

The Congratulations stamp, heat embossed with gold EP,

 is one of my very first wooden stamps I bought, 

so it has lasted a long time. 

Happy crafting

Stepper Card

At Cardz 4 Guyz over the next week the challenge is to make a Stepper Card. There are many different forms of stepper card, so you do have a wide choice. There are lots of tutorials and suggestions on You Tube and Pinterest, simply add Stepper card and you will be spoilt for choice. The style I have chosen is simple, with only a couple of cuts and few folds. The background is silver mirri board to give a bright contrast to the dark sky and leaves. The stamps are all from Sheena Douglass - A Little Bit Magical - The Quest. I have used TH Distress inks to colour the background sky. The leaves and the owl  have been coloured with various  Promarkers. The sentiment is from my stash. I thought this would make a suitable card for a male person who has been awarded either a degree or a certificate, to congratulate them on their success. If you have never made a stepper card, please do give it a try and share with us on the the challenge, maybe it is a STEP out of your comfort zone, go on have a go.  The DT have again provided us with some wonderful creative inspiration, please do pop over to see their projects.

Cardz 4 Guyz Challenge #7 is MUSIC

This week at Cardz 4 Guyz - Janice has chosen Music, it can be whatever your inspiration creates, anything which depicts Music. Please remember this challenge site is for cards/projects for MALES of any age, but Male only. In my huge supply of stamps, I have discovered I don't have anything suitable for music, but in my Craft CD collection I was saved. I made the card above with papers and decoupage from a Debbie Moore Shabby Chic Music CD. I hope you like it and find some inspiration from it. Please pop over to the main blog where you will find more inspiration from the wonderful DT.
