Get Shirty!

Good evening crafters, hope you are all well and looking forward to the weekend. The weekend starts here today so yipee! As my cards tend to be more for the ladies i decided it was time to create a card for the boys today. I must admit that i do find it much harder making masculine cards but i did it, here it is.

I am going to enter it into the following challenges:

Materials used:
k i memories 'Friends' patterned cardstock paper pack for the shirt and punched circles
Cream and Brown cardstock
Brown buttons from stash
Dimensionals
The shirt i made by folding a 4'' x 7'' piece of cardstock
Tim Holtz Distress Inks (Walnut stain) to distress the edge of the card, the punched circles and the shirt to give the old worn look!
E K Success corner rounder punch
1 1/2 '' circle punch
Stampin Up! Happy Birthday stamp which has a flower in the centre so i disguised this with a coordinating button.

Silly Me !

Good afternoon everyone, i am so silly. I decided to play along with the Card Patterns Challenge #143 so made my card and forgot to upload it and now its too late! lol Oh well, never mind, will share it with you anyway. As you can probably tell, i am a fan of this folded Christmas tree design, it is so easy yet effective and as i still have a few Christmas cards to be getting on with, i might be using it again! This card was made with a male relative in mind hence the masculine colours! Thanks for looking :)

Quick & Easy!

Hello all, i wanted to get my Stampin up 'birthday wishes' stamp inked up for the first time so i made these two cards in double quick time.  One card for the ladies, one for the men!

Best wishes,
Jill :)

Final post for today.... maybe!

Hello crafters, well i did say that i have been busy! Third post today! Anyway, this is the card i made for the DYSU Challenge #46 - Splash of Blue. I used cream, blue, brown  and green cardstock and a lovely patterned paper (it is called Father and Son i think but cannot remember who by, sorry). I punched the circles using a 1 3/4'' circle punch and a 2'' scalloped punch. The 'DAD' sentiment i printed from my computer and distressed it with Tim Holtz Distress ink (walnut stain). The little boat is a brad that i had in my stash. These were adhered using dimensionals and the little green and brown buttons just finished it off. Thanks for looking :)
