Missing You Always

A couple of weeks ago my BFF was in town for a week. With my husband working out of town it was just the two of us for the week. Oh we had so much fun.

Right after she left I was in Hobby Lobby and saw a 4 x 6 paper stack on sale that had this whale DSP. Back when we were in high school and college she loved anything with whales on it. So of course I had to get the paper stack. Since she had just left I created this card. (The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp – Big Scripty Greetings)

This is the magic of paper crafting; being able to share how you feel to those you care about most. So join me in the #mailitmonday movement and send a card out this Monday to someone you care about.

Stampin Up Perennial Birthday Hero Arts Sunburst Bold Print Background stamp Masculine Birthday card idea Michelle Gleeson Stampinup SU

As a woman who has two sons, a husband and works in a male dominated industry I need more masculine cards than most. It is always a challenge to come up with new cards that are creative and masculine oriented. So when I saw the new Hero Arts Sunburst Bold Prints Background Stamp I knew I had to have it. I saw so many possibilities including unique masculine cards.

This card is super simple yet has a bold impression. The base is Basic Grey card stock. The sunburst background was stamped in Basic Grey ink onto Smokey Slate card stock. This was mounted directly to the card base. The sentiment from SU Perennial Birthday stamp set was heat embossed with Simon Says Stamp Navy embossing powder onto Smokey Slate card stock. (NOTE: I did use my antistatic powder before stamping the sentiment yet you can still see stray pieces of embossing powder around the letters. I decided to go with the look for this masculine card as it went with the sunburst design. Sometimes you need to let go of perfection and just go with it.) A retired embellishment from SU Urban Underground Suite completed the card.

I thought I would enter this in the CASE this Sketch challenge #260 this week. Here is the sketch:

SSS Ornate background stamp, SSS Big Greetings 1, #casingyanasmakula, Michelle Gleeson

I loved this Simon Says Stamp Ornate Background stamp the first time I saw it. For my project, I stamped it in Versamark ink onto Kraft card stock then heat embossed in White Stampin’ Embossing Powder. Then it was selectively colored with Polychromos colored pencils. I CASE’d Yana Smakula for this subtle coloring.

The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp’s Big Greeting 1. It was stamped and heat embossed in Black Embossing Powder.

Then I foam mounted it onto Powder Pink card stock. A few Nuvo Blizzard Wbite drops are the finishing touch. A very easy card with a wow finished look.

I hope you having a great weekend. Thanks for stopping by.

Doesn’t this card make you believe Spring is around the corner? The flowers are from WPlus9 Southern Florals 2 Stamp set. I used SU colors; So Saffron, Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz, Soft Sky, Blushing Bride and Flirty Flamingo.

The washi tape along the left side adds sophistication to the floral whimsey.

The sentiment is from SU Picture Perfect Birthday’s. I love this font. I hope they come out with more stamp sets using this font style. The framelit is from Simon Says Stamp (SSS) called Bundle of Stitched Shapes. A couple of SU Enamel Shapes adds the finishing touch.
