Pear Anniversay

Back to my Spellbinders and Grand Callibur! I chose a pearly coloured card for the card and the dies as a tone on tone style. I printed the greeting then used pearl embossing powder.
The Dies i used were Edgibilities Classic Bracket to create the boarders.
Marianne creative die twice to get the fancy outer mat.
Beaded Circles for the base of the decoupage to which I added liquid pearls.
I used the little heart cutouts as extras around the dies

Gardening Man

Again staying a male theme This is card I used Do crafts forever friends CD with MCS I added the persons name to the hat printed out the Decoupage added the greeting to the seed stick. The background I got from setting the scene from MCS cut out the decoupage and put it all together. this was an easy card to make as the My Craft Studio software is very easy to use

Its A Mans World

Staying with a Man theme, I used my Its a mans world Stamps paper pieced the chair and coloured the rest with Pro markers I masked this and used Boys Toys ( See Dees stamps ) for the bike in the background the wine bottle and glass I stamped coloured and cut out.

I printed the card useing MCS for the greeting and Bike background then faded it out slightly.
Spellbinders Fleur De Lis rectangle was used for my Stamped image also the Buckle and the lets celebtrate message was embossed with Forever friends embossing strips on Co ordinations card and sanded back.

I can recomend the Its A Mans World Stamps by Paper Mania there are 3 in the set and covers everything in a quirky way.

The Golfer

I used Jolly Nations Decoupage for this card and craft Artist to create the Ribbon and Paper for the greeting.
I used Spellbinder labels to matt and layer the backing for the golfer
I chose to use Brown and Blue to match the jumper and some Spiced Marmalade distressed ink to edge the ribbon, card and greeting label.

I love Jolly Nations but dont often see there products in the local craft shops. I got these from QVC along with some stamps
