Masculine card

This card is so simple! Could be used for a Fathers Day card. If you dont have this Lovely as a Tree stampset, look around use another stamp that is manly. Use a sponge to add color around the stamped image. Have fun with this design!

Bold images work best for this technique. 2) Ink your brayer with a light color of ink, and bray your card stock. 3) Use a sticky note or scrap paper cut to desired shapes and sizes to cover portions of your card stock. 4) Ink your brayer with a darker color of ink, and bray your card stock again. 5) Repeat process if extra layers desired. 6) Remove paper scraps and wipe embossed images to remove excess ink.

This card is by Carolyn King. I love the sailors knot she created with the twine.

Technique Tuesday

Kissing Directions: 1) Ink a patterned stamp, such as one of our background stamps. 2) Press a solid, uninked stamp against the patterned stamp, transferring the pattern to the solid stamp. 3) Stamp the solid image on card stock. Tips: After completing Step 2, the patterned stamp can also be used for a "reverse kissing" look. Before completing Step 2, you could ink your solid stamp image with a lighter color.

Technique Tuesday

Faux Tile Directions: 1) Score your neutral color card stock diagonally to create the look of tiles. (The scoring blade on the Paper Cutter works well for this technique.) 2) Sponge ink as desired onto your card stock to give your tiles texture and dimension. Be sure to allow the "grout" lines to show through. 3) Stamp subtle images over your tile background.
