Clean Simple Man

Did you think this was going to be blank?

Were you expected a hot steamy babe here?

Or are you under the impression there is no such thing as a

"Clean Simple Man"?

Now that I have your attention, here is todays card:

Ingredients: Stamp: Starring You (which is on the SAB list & in Big Catty); CS: Shades of Spring, Garden Green, Black, Vanilla; Ribbon- Celery; Ink: Garden Green; Others: Scallop Edge punch, Circle punches (1 1/2 & 1 3/4), Dimensionals

Here is a closer look at the ribbon that I just overlaped (sneaking some glue dots in the ribbon layers) and then used Sticky Tape to hold the ribbon down all together.

***AS FOR A "CLEAN SIMPLE MAN"

... LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS SUCH A THING, WOULD YOU PLEASE? ***

Mojo went Masculine...

Man o Man... Boy oh Boy..

I am off and running with some masculine birthday cards.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

Blue Stars Birthday!

This card has the stars layered and then on dimensionals. I sponged the edges and though I should have wrapped hemp on it, I used the kraft ribbon. The background & sentiment stamp are both retired, but still in my stash. Some things you just never tire of!

Green Star Birthday!

Again, the same layout, but color & sentiment change. I added 4 eyelets and knotted the ribbon - gave it a different look. Do not worry, I will still be practicing my manly cards!

It also helped that the Latenightstampers had a "birthday" challenge!

Gingerbread treats

.. don't be looking here for any... HA HA. I have them on the "things to make list" but haven't gotten there yet.. somehow other things keep creeping up the list.. we all know how that goes.. one thing off and 4 more get added on...

However, I have another card with some of the Merry Moments paper.. one might think I am liking since I am using it alot more. Its too easy to fall into habits of using what is at arms length. So when I say down - I got my daughter to help me clean off the table in the craft cave, however when she was putting the Merry Moments DSP back, I was like ... OH NO, I want to use that... I think she was as shocked as you and I.... but she put the paper back like she just got caught with her hands in the cookie jar.

This DSP side I like.. I am not sure what is on the other side, however lately it seems I have chosen the least liked side to use on cards ! I do like the outcome of this card.

Stamps: Sweet Season
CS: Merry Moments DSP, garden green, real red, whisper white
Ink: garden green, real red
Others: Ruby red rhinestone, silver pearl, dimensional, scalloped circle, 1 3/8 circle punch, 1 1/2 circle punch, real red ribbon
