Beer Anyone?

Posted on February 22, 2013 12:12 PM by Julie 4 Comments

Happy Friday!

For today’s Free for All Challenge (F4A157), we are to make a silly or fun card for a man. I’ve always thought this quote was a fun and I know it will be perfect for my brother in law. The guy loves a good beer and probably even some not so good ones. And since his birthday’s coming up I’m pretty sure a big mug of beer will get his attention.

The images are from DRS Designs. My clean and simple card was done on half of a note card. I liked the texture of the paper so I stamped the beer mug, drew a diamond shape around it and filled in w/ a black sharpie and added doodles. I saw this technique on the latest Technique Junkie newsletter, so I gave it try. I added the sentiment and little beer mug and a couple of Candi buttons, then doodles around the edges before attaching to my 5.50 x 4.25 card.

Thanks so much for looking!

Supplies:

Stamps: DRS Designs – Large Beer Mug, Franklin’s Wisest Words, Small Beer Mug

Paper: Neenah white, ivory textured note card (Mike’s $ bin)

Ink: Memento tuxedo black, Colorbox fluid chalk bisque

Accessories: Copic markers, black Sharpie, Candi buttons

BEST OF 2013 – CAS

A wonderful color combo today on the Color Challenge on Splitcoast (CC412). I need to use more often! And a sad farewell to Julia as a CC hostess 🙁 I tried to do a Clean & Classy card ala Julia, but not sure if I succeeded or not. I also used a sketch from a good while back that I hadn’t tried (SC336).

The images are from DRS Designs. I stamped the long berry branch and used a long rectangle die to cut it in sections so I could stamp the sentiment in between. It looked a bit plain so I used an embossing border down the other side. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: DRS Designs – With Sympathy, Simple Berry Branch

Paper: vanilla, black, kraft

Ink: Memento tuxedo black

Accessories: Spellbinders long rectangle dies, Cuttlebug Charles embossing folder, Copic markers

Love You More

For today’s Technique Challenge on Splitcoast (TLC413), the focus is on the dies. I think I have just the CAS (clean & simple) card that will fit. Turns out the only heart dies I have are these huge solid and LaRue heart from Memory Box. They pretty much take up the whole card so they have to be the focus. I thought they went well w/ this cute Love You More greeting from DRS Designs. I added a couple of little hearts from the Interlocking Hearts Background beside it. I colored and cut out just the bloom from the Single Rose and attached it in the upper left. I used a pair of mini scallop scissors across the bottom of the red panel and attached it to my 4.25 x 5.50 card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Stamps: DRS Designs – Love You More, Interlocking Hearts Background, Single Rose
