It's Time To celebrate - A Dreaded Man Card

Hi there!

First I have to say Happy Birthday to my dear husband. Not that he reads the blog, but I thought I would mentioned it anyway!  No, this card is not for him. He is receiving another DMC (Dreaded Man Card). :-)

My card stash is mostly full of pretty pink girly cards, and I have nothing for guys! I refuse to buy a card when I can make one, so I need to stock up! So as my post title states I have a Masculine card today. I have dubbed my masculine collection on the ol' blog as Dreaded Man Cards. (DMC). I love who I make them for, but dread not making them fussy, so I struggle. 

Here we go!

I started with a Kraft card base. I added some "not so girly" papers from my stash to the card front. On a tag I stamped the cuckoo clock image from Hero Arts - Cuckoo. I also used Versamark ink to add clocks to the background of the tag.  The sentiment is from the same set.

I embellished with some buttons from Craftpon Etsy shop (Items 10000188 and 10000148) 

That's it short and sweet and hopefully will make one of the men in my life happy! :-)))

I am joining in at:  Papercraft Star- Inspiration (clocks)

The Shabby Tea Room - Inspiration Clocks

 Paper Playtime - 3 Papers, 3 Girl Jam - Celebrations, A Blog Name Hero - Button It

I hope you have a blessed day!

God Bless America and Giveaway Winners!

Hi all!

{I am honored! This was a Top 3 Feature at Link Up Tuesday on 7/9/13 and Beyond honored again to have this as recognized at ColourQ Queen on 7/23/13}

I am sorry that I am just now getting around to the Giveaway Winners for the Etsy Shops.  I have been away, and didn't get a chance to post while away. 

First I thought I would share a Patriotic Card with you that I created.

I created this card with pieces leftover from another patriotic make. I added some embellishments I have had in my stash for a couple of years. I believe they are from K & Company. I created a fussy Patriotic seam binding bow which I embellished with a Carved Wood Shanked Button from Craftpon Etsy Shop. I used a Memory Stick Pin by Tim Holtz to embellish the bow with a coordinating star embellishment!

I used God Bless America Sentiment from DeNami Design which has been stamped in red ink.

I am also joining in at: Moxie Fab - Mixy-Matchy Challenge,  Funday Friday Challenge - Let Freedom Ring, D.L. Art Thankful Thursday 112 - Patriotic, Paper Playtime - Red, White, and Blue, An Inky Situation Linky Party - Anything Goes, Sunday {Fun}day - Linky Party, Link It Up Tuesday - Linky Party, Colourq 196- Color Challenge

Now, I know you are waiting for the winners! I used Random.org to select the winners.

Oh my, this is gorgeous. I loved the color combo & the pretty papers you used. But I 'especially' loved the cameo embellie. Cameo's are so vintage and evoke a feel of a by-gone era (to me anyway). They are simple in appearance, yet so classy & elegant. Gracious, I'd love to win something like this. Let me see if I can! TFS such a beautiful card! Hugs

Vintage With Love - Craftpon/Stamp Cow Etsy Shop GIVEAWAY Day 2!!!

Hi-Ya!!

{Honored that this was a Winner at Paper Playtime and this was also featured at Link It Up Tuesday!}

I am back today sharing my second card using some goodies from Craftpon and offer another chance to win a shopping spree! Details to follow! :-)

 Let me just say when I saw this Cameo I couldn't wait to make something with this beauty.  You must check out the Craftpon Etsy shop because there are many beautiful varieties and colors to choose from. I love them ALL!  It was perfect to embellish a fussy seam binding bow. The seam binding used is from My Craft Spot and the color is Raspberry Truffle.

I created a tag using a sentiment from DeNami Design Assorted Greeting Stamp Set.   

How gorgeous is that Scalloped Lace Trim?  It is so soft and beautiful! If you sew, this would be a beautiful addition to your sewing projects as well as your paper projects.
