A Father's Day (or any day) Brostache Card

I can't even tell you how much fun I had making this silly card.  I still love the mustache trend (even though I know it has been around for a while now).  It just makes me smile.  Around here we like to give out mustaches as party favors and my sister-in-law even threw my brother a "brostache" themed birthday party a year or two ago.  We're dorks.  I know.  When I saw the Mustache Mania stamp set I knew that I had to have it.

I used the stamps with a light brown distress ink over the patterned paper to make this look for the card base.  I knew that the card was going to be pretty busy, but I still thought that it could use more mustaches!

The ink, ribbon, twine, pen, buttons and stamps were not in the paper kit by MAMBI, but everything else was, including that hilarious mustache on a stick.  I didn't put a real sentiment on this card, but I think that I can choose whether to give this to my brother for Father's Day or for his birthday and it will work either way now. 

Everything is put together with my awesome Xyron adhesives (mostly the Mega Runner on this one).  And when I finished I had a big smile on my face.  I hope you like it too!  Have a great week!

Happy Mustache Monday!

Hello everyone! For those of you in the US, I hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend. I know I am enjoying all of the sunshine here in Michigan.

I created this layout of my friends son using the Mustache Mania stamp set. I loved using it to create this layout because it allowed me to make several pieces to coordinate with his picture!



Supplies:
Mustache Mania stamp set - gel-a-tin stamps
watermark ink - versamark
black ink - studio g
Twill tape - Stampin' Up
black alphas - American Crafts thickers
journaling spot and word banners - echo park This and That Charming line
U - pink paislee



I had fun with the Mustache Mania stamp set! First, I stuck the mustache stamps all over my acrylic block to create a fun background stamp and used Versamark ink to create a tone on tone background paper. I then stamped a mustache in black ink onto cardstock and cut it out. To get a more worn out look with my image, I first stamped onto scrap paper, then onto the cardstock.



I also used the stamps again to create a patterned ribbon. I used repositionable adhesive and stuck the ribbon down to my work surface. I then added my three favorite stamps to my block. I then stamped the images repeatedly on the ribbon.

One of my favorite things about gel-a-tins stamps is that I can add a bunch of the stamps onto the block so that I can stamp a few times and get multiple images. It makes it so that I can get the effect I want without having to stamp each image individually. It makes stamping a background paper a lot faster!

Hello Monster card by Kim P.

I saw this stamp set and knew I had to make a card to send to my friend! Who wouldn't enjoy a mustache card?!?



Supplies Used:
gel-a-tins Mustache Mania stamp set, Studio G black ink, Maya Road Avocado Metallic Mist, Sassafras Lass monster paper and brads, Pink Paislee rub-on, My Little Shoebox letter stickers, American Crafts button, Twinery twine, and Becky Higgins grid journaling spot.

Instructions:
I wanted to use the mustache stamps as a background, so I made a background stamp out of them! I randomly placed the mustache stamps on my acrylic block. That way I could stamp several mustaches at one time. First I misted the white cardstock to give it some color and stamped over the misted area.
