Man Card Monday- February 2019

Hi there! I know, I’m a little late today, but I wanted to share my card for this month’s Man Card Monday! Birthday cards for guys are always in short supply in my stash, so I thought I would create one using some new dies from Hero Arts and add a snarky sentiment, perfect for that smart alecky guy in your life!

I began by die cutting the Party Confetti die from black card stock and backed it with an A2 panel of Adriatic card stock. (That shade of teal is absolutely heavenly!) I also die cut a “happy” from white card stock and added it to the card front.

Once I had the die cuts completed, I stamped a “birthday” and “to you” on thin strips of white card stock, then stamped the snarky “don’t expect any gifts from me” from Irreverent Birthday Messages. What guy doesn’t like a bit of snark?

Well, that’s all for this month’s Man Card Monday! I hope you’re having a marvelous Monday!

More Honey Bee Stamps November 2017 Release Projects

Good morning! Today is the final day of sneak peeks for the Honey Bee Stamps Holiday Release! We’ve got cutie little birds, some fabulous new dies, and today I’m focusing my attention on a cheeky (and utterly adorable) new set called Blah Humbunny. Now, I’m normally not a huge fan of punny sentiments, but these are just snarky enough to make them hilarious and awesome. Let’s get started with the details!

To start, I stamped and die cut one of the two bunny images from Blah Humbunny and some accessories using Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto some Copic-friendly white card stock. Next, I colored the die cuts with Copics, using C00, C1, and a touch of C3 here and there, as well as keeping my Colorless Blender handy to really keep that bunny looking  pure, winter white.

This super clean and simple project didn’t need too much extra… just that cute bunny with the little hat, exasperated expression, and cheeky greeting… so I popped him up with dimensional adhesive, then stamped my sentiment from Blah Humbunny on to the card base with Memento Black Tuxedo ink. I did add some Wink of Stella to bunny’s hat and some Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the ribbon on the gift. I also used a C1 Copic to add a bit of “ground” to the card base beneath where bunny was seated so that he wasn’t floating in midair.

Well, that’s all for me today! I hope you’ve enjoyed the release projects this week… Remember, everything will be available for purchase tonight on the Honey Bee website at 11 pm PST (1 AM CST!)! We are going to have a fabulous blog hop for you tomorrow, so stay tuned!

Have a marvelous day, and I’ll see you back here tomorrow!
