Hello crafty friends,
Mary back with a masculine birthday card today. I know most of us struggle to come up with ideas for guys cards. If your guys are anything like mine, simple is best, so I've learned to keep my cards for them fairy basic, but with an eye on design.
When I do cards for guys I tend to reach for bold dies that cover most of the my card front. I feel this allows me to "get away" with little effort (product) on the card, but still giving the card a bold look.
For this card, I started with a per-stamped (Penny Black Birthday Candles) slim card front panel I had on my desk. I adhered two fussy cut "happy" from the Die-Versions Solo Sentiments Happy Birthday die, across the stamped candles. On the card's inside, I stamped another row of candles and adhered a full Happy Birthday die cut in the center.
If you're wondering about the color/ink... I will admit, I tried splashing some gold ink (to match the gold letters) on the finished card and it totally didn't work. I ended up making an inky mess! But I worked through my mistake and created a "grungy" look I could live with.
Here's a close up of the inside:
Hello Everyone
This is Alycia from My Craft Addiction here with you today for a little Christmas Cheer
I used this really cute Snowmen Snowglobe die and framed in a tree die. This is so much fun and brought me joy.
I do believe this will bring you magic in making this card.
I really found that when you use the Sticky Specs is extremely useful for the delicate dies.
Snowflake background was so much fun to make. I used white embossing powder from Hero arts on Velum. Be careful when using velum and heat tool. I totally recked the first two backgrounds I made LOL
Have a great day and enjoy
Happy Wednesday, everyone!
Hey there!
It's Judy here with a birthday card design
that is bright and happy!

Memory Box: Big Splash Border (Any of these wave dies would work but this Frantic Stamper die or this Joy! Craft die are the most similar.) |

Mary back today with a cheerful greeting, which is sadly not coming to you from Paris, but once this pandemic is over my plans to visit Paris will be back on track and all the dies and stamps I purchased to document the trip will get lots of used in my Paris Travel Journal. In the meantime, I will showcase the dies and stamps on my cards here and on my blog.
Hello Everyone.
It is my, Alycia, from My Craft Addiction. Today I bring you Let's build a house.
This die is Winter house pop up easel set by Poppy Stamps. This die set has so many potentials. Choosing a winter scene was something I could use for my Christmas card collection. I used the background stencil from lawn fawn but you could use the Heffy Doodle Brick by Brick stencil. I used the Pumice Stone Distress ink by Ranger.
I would use any glitter paper for the snow die from this set. You could also use any type of glitter with some liquid glue. Cosmic Shimmer glitter would work wonderful with the Quickie Glue Roller Pen. Using the glue will allow for as much or as little glitter you want. I love adding ALOT of glitter on a Christmas Card
