You Make Me Happy

Here's a masculine card I put together.

I wanted to play with the Perfect Pennants stamp set from Stampin' Up so the whole design started with using that.  I used the Stampin' Up ink colors Yo Yo Yellow, Real Red, and Certainly Celery.

The patterned papers came from Echo Park's All About A Boy 6 by 6 pad.

The grosgrain ribbon has been in my stash forever, from one of my local craft stores.

The wooden hearts are from Studio Calico.

I usually struggle with masculine cards, but this one seemed to come together pretty easily.  I'm loving wooden embellishments right now and was pleased that they added some real fun while still keeping the masculine vibe.

Love You Card

I thought I'd put something together that would work well for Valentine's Day.

All of the papers i used are from the Dear Lizzy 6 by 6 paper pad Lucky Charm.

The card is a standard A2 size, so 4 and 1/4 by 5 and 1/2.

The notebook layer is 3 and 3/4 by 5.

The kraft colored layer is 3 by 4 and 1/4.

The strip along the bottom is 1/2 inch wide.

The wooden element is from Studio Calico.  I stamped on it in Night of Navy Ink by Stampin' Up.  I used the SP & Company set Mini Card Creations 1.

The heart was cut with my Silhouette.  I put it up on pop dots and went around the edge with Cotton Candy Stickles.

The last embellishment was just a strip of washi tape.

This was pretty quick to put together and I love the eclectic mix of patterns.  What a fun paper pad to work with, it's got a whole lot of different things in it!
