Wonderful Wednesday

Weekly Class

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to another "Hump Day" oh I mean Wednesday. It's time for me to share my projects from my Weekly Wednesday class. I really love my friends that come every Wednesday to share the love of stamping. This week I focused on the fellas. I really have to stretch myself to create masculine cards. There aren't many sets in the Stampin' Up! catalogs that are what I would call masculine. I guess you need to be creative in colors and design. I'll share two of the projects today because I used the birthday one in last Friday's blog because I was inspired by all my wonderful designer series papers (DSP). 

I love Washi Tape. Have I told you that? If you saw last Wednesday's Blog, you know I have a Washi Tape design challenge with a prize giveaway. I hope you are working on your project and plan to submit it to me for your chance to win. 

I used retiring color Tangerine Tango as the base of this card. I also used my favorite Pick a Pattern Washi Tape. The stamp set, One Wild Ride, is perfect for that special someone. I stamped the motorcycle and then simply lifted and moved it back two times for the effect of movement. Isn't it great? I also used the Touches of Textures splatter for the background on this card. 

For this card, I used retiring color Chocolate Chip as my base color. I love the stamp set, Country Living, but I haven't used it very much. I'm determined to use it more and more. I just love this pick-up truck stamp. Vintage and antiques are really popular and I feel in in this card. I used the Wood Texture DSP stack for the wood grain look as well as the burlap ribbon and the Layering Circle Framelits for my ribbon circle. To color the truck and ribbon, I used watercolor pencils and blender pens.

If you have visited before, you know that Stampin' Up! has released their retiring products lists for the Annual and Occasions Catalogs last week. Be sure to check out what's going. There are so many things you won't want to miss, especially the designer series papers and wonderful colors that will be gone before you know it. Accessories always sell out quick so don't delay.
