We Create Masculine Blog Hop
Hi there! Welcome back. This is my first time posting since my surgery on the 11th, and everything went well. I'm still a little fatigued, and I can't stand or sit very long, but I did FINALLY get this card done. It took the better part of the afternoon, even though it's a simple card, thanks to all the breaks I had to take. I am happy to be hopping with the We Create Blog Hoppers again – it's been a while.
I kind of feel like I am starting all over in my stamping room. It's been SO long since I've been able to create, and having to start and stop makes it a little challenging, so be kind, k? LOL
This might not scream "masculine card" like some, but I did make it for my son, which means I did utilize some masculine card design "tricks" that I often use. A simple layout, a simple color scheme, and very few, if any embellishments. Especially when it's going to a teenage boy – simple seems to be best.
I ADORE this new stamp set!!! It's called Lined Alphabet and the possibilities with this set – especially with it's coordinating die set!!! I know that this will definitely be a "desk sitter" for me (doesn't even get put away).
For this look, all I did was stamp the letters so that they overlapped a little, then colored the letters in with the Light Night of Navy and Light Daffodil Delight Blends. I used the comma/apostrophe images for the confetti, and added in the dark shades of the same colors. To make it really pop, I added shadows with the light Smoky Slate Blend. So that the image was the focus, I added just a touch of sparkle with the new Whisper White and Silver Baker's Twine. All of these great products will be available in just a few sleeps!!!

Please enjoy the rest of the hop, we've added a few more designers since the last time that I hopped with these ladies. Next up is Lynn, can't wait to see what she's created!
Jeanna, so good to have you back! Have been praying for your recovery from surgery! Love this sweet graduation card, what a great design with these new alphabet stamps! Love it!
So glad you’re back in the game! You’re card is perfect as always. I love the confetti.
Genius idea to the comma for confetti. I got the lined alphabet set too. Can’t wait to use it. I love how you layered the letters. So glad you are back. We missed you!
This is a great card! Perfectly masculine and fun!
So great to have you back in the rotation. Great use of the letters and coloring with the blends.
That is soooo cool!!!
