Men’s Cards

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

Would you believe that the Country Diaries of an Edwardian Lady CD contains wonderful images to create masculine cards?  Well it does…   I recently showed you a card (Autumn Card) which I made for my brother in law Richard; and today I have just made a belated birthday card (I know it’s late) for my brother in law Ron.   As you can see it was a simple card to make but looks quite effective.  I simple cut the image with my large rectangle nestabilities and then cut a co-ordinating mount using the rectangle scallop nestabilities.  The background paper was also from the CD and has been cut 2mm smaller than the card so that a white border is shown.  I used some of our ribbon and added some glossy accents to the image.  I thought about adding some rhinestones but choose not too for a masculine card.

Just thought I’d share this card with you - unfortunately the pale pink looks white on the card but trust me it is a lovely shade of pink!!  I have used Copic C1 and the Clear Spica Glitter pen on the wings, W1 and W3 for the rabbit with a little R11 for the cheeks, RV000 and RV21 for the dress.  The Messy Rabbit was then cut out and adhered to the Messy Rabbit background paper with foam pad to create depth.  Again this is a quick and easy card that anyone could create.i387

i3851My friend and stamping buddy Jo came over to visit last night to help me prepare samples for the forthcoming shows.  Next week is Worthing show (in West Sussex) and Harrogate show (in North Yorkshire) and yes crazy woman that I am, Stamps & Memories will be at both shows!!  Lots of new stock has arrived and more is arriving every day as the shows approach . 

Jo has coloured this card with the Copic Ciao marker pens (cannot remember the colour codes - but see’s Jo’s blog as I’m sure she will!!).  She has layered the card with Rita Marie Fascination range of papers, and used the Martha Stewart doily punch to make a border.  The gorgeous new two-toned ribbons will be added to my website later this month. 

If you can come to Worthing or Harrogate pop by and say Hi!!!

Messy Angel

Isn’t she adorable? …  this is one of the newly released Christmas Messy Rabbit designs from Joanna Sheen.  To create the card I stamped the image using the Black Memento inkpad onto our smooth card and then coloured with Copic Ciao markers (B60, B63, C01, Co3, R10).   The image has then been cut out using the oval nestabilities and mounted onto a blue/grey card which was cut with the oval scalloped nestabilities.  This was then layered and mounted over a 6×6 card and paper from the Winter Wonderland paper pack, then ribbon added.  To finish I coloured over the angel’s wings with the Clear Spica Glitter pen.  This adds a wonderful fine glitter and is a must have  for all year round (not just for Christmas!).  All items are available online.i379
