Krafty Chicks Challenge #765: MASCULINE

  Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!

 

Welcome to another great challenge week from the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog. MASCULINE is the theme this week and good luck to you. I struggle with cards for men. I love flowers and frills so I tend to buy more feminine stamp sets and play with those. I'll have to dig deep for masculine stamp set and dust them off before playing. Here we go!

 #765 MASCULINE

This card is made up from elements of an old Paper Pumpkin kit. I'm slowly working my way through stacks of kits sitting in a corner on one of my desks.

Products used:

• Stamp Set: The Best There Is May 2024 PP kit
  
• Card Stock: Crumb Cake (120953), Early Espresso (119686)
• DSP: May 2024: The Best There Is PP kit
  
• Ink Pads: Early Espresso (147114)
  
• Accessories: Linen Thread (104199), Solid Gems (retired), May 2024 PP kit die cuts, Stampin' Dimensionals (104430) 
  

 

 I like to keep the inside of the card and the envelope clean and simple by just adding a stamped image.

Krafty Chicks Challenge #690: CAS

Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!

 Are you ready for this week's challenge? On the third week of the month, I'm the hostess and we are looking for CAS. There's a wide interpretation to CAS (Clean And Simple), just have fun with it.

 Now, here's my CAS Challenge card:

All the month of November, I'm playing along with a fellow Demonstrator from the UK. He's known as Martin's Mayhem on Facebook. Every year he hosts a 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge. Last year, I did very well and was only short 2-3 cards by the end of it. This year, I'm only behind by one so far but will play catch up on the weekend.

The theme for today's challenge is "Oh What Fun!" And I knew I had a stamp that said exactly that, so I dusted the Christmas Messages stamp set off. And what's more fun than building a snowman (not in November though).

At first I stamped him directly to paper and I was going to mask him off before adding the stencil but then he looked too flat. So I stamped him again, coloured him with my Stampin' Blends, fussy cut him out and popped him on dimensionals.

No card is complete without finishing the inside with a coordinating image. I also used the same decorative mask (stencil) in the background. Same goes for the envelope. Keep it simple!
