Tap Tap Thanks...

Hi there!

I've had a request for some thank you cards for men so I'm trying to prioritise making some more of them... Even I don't find them particularly easy! I used a couple of challenges to help me with this one: the Freshly Made Sketch and the Colour Me combo...

I really wanted to use one of my fave new sets from the catty, Tap Tap Tap, as I thought it would work well for a masculine card...

I combed through the catty looking for a thank you sentiment that would fit in the typewriter paper and was delighted to find that the sentiment from Six-Sided Sampler fit perfectly! I used a few other new products on this as well: Lost Lagoon card, the large polka dot embossing folder (so fun!) and some dsp from the All Abloom stack. The typewriter was stamped with stazon, coloured with Smoky Slate ink and a blender pen then cut cut.

Here's the recipe: 
Stamps: Tap Tap Tap, Six-Sided Sampler
Ink: Stazon, Smoky Slate
Paper: All Abloom dsp, Lost Lagoon, Island Indigo, Smoky Slate, Whisper White, Naturals Ivory
Accessories: Essentials Hardware Clip
Tools: Large Polka Dot EF, Starburst Framelits, 2 1/2" circle punch, Project Life corner punch, Bitt Banners framelits, Circle card thinlits (banner)

Mojo Hexagon Throwdown...

Hello there!

I wanted to play around with some new goodies as well as a few challenges this afternoon, so I combined the Color Throwdown colours with this week's Mojo Monday sketch...

I kept this one pretty simple (unusual for me!) and clean-looking...

For some reason the white card in the background looks dull (must have been the light) in the photo, which is a shame, as it's nice and white IRL.

Here's the recipe:
Stamps: Flower Shop, Six Sided Sampler, Simply Sketched
Ink: Bermuda Bay, So Saffron, Strawberry Slush
Paper: Bermuda Bay & Strawberry Slush core-dinations card, So Saffron, Crumb Cake, Whisper White
Tools: Ovals framelits, Pansy Punch, Hexagon punch, honeycomb embossing folder, sanding block, Itty Bitty Banners framelits, Needlepoint border embossing folder, ovals piercing template, bird punch
Accessories: Simply Pressed clay & button mold, rhinestones

I'm keeping it short and sweet today peeps - lots to do!

Hope you're enjoying your weekend!
