Hardware

Posted in Cards, Masculine by Chris

The theme for this week’s challenge at The Male Room is to use some of your stash, in particular, some Hardware!

I had some fun with this one, and thought I would feature some brads, but also a different form of “hardware”…..

a Robot!
Mr Robot comes from the stamp set Boys Will Be Boys and is heat embossed onto the back cardstock with Silver embossing powder. The photo is not great, I had difficulties trying to find a good spot to take a photo of this card with all the silver. Make sure you check out all the fabulous projects from the rest of the Design Team at The Male Room.
Happy stamping!

Crafty Boots Sketch Challenge Reminder

Posted in Cards, Masculine by Chris

Don’t forget to play along with our current challenge at Crafty Boots Challenges, here is the sketch we are using for our projects:

I have made a masculine card which is a little removed from the original sketch in that I have used a large rectangle instead of the half circle at the top, but I hope you can see how I have used the sketch to design my card.

The patterned papers were all from my stash, and I have stamped directly onto the papers using the fish from By
The Tide stamp set, and the words come from Boys Will Be Boys stamp set. Have a look at more awesome projects using this sketch at the Crafty Boots blog.
Happy stamping!

Up In The Air

Posted in Cards, Masculine by Chris

The new challenge at The Male Room for the next fortnight is a theme of “Up In The Air but No Birds Allowed!”

Heaps of things you can still do with this challenge, planes, clouds, hot air balloons, or…… parachutists!

My card uses some gorgeous new Stampin’ Up! papers from the Go Wild Designer Series Paper Stack, and this great image is from the Boys Will Be Boys stamp set. Plus I have used a small piece of the new Corrugated cardstock to add a little more texture to my card.
Make sure you check out the inspiration from the rest of the Design Team.
Happy stamping!
