Masculine Cards - Imaginarium Designs

Hello!!

...and Welcome,

It's Alison here today and I just have a few projects to share with you,

I did have a couple more planned... alas our recent relocation and family 'stuff' mean my 24 hours each day had significantly reduced 'spare' time!!

I like to give myself a little theme and chose Masculine,

so I've created a couple of quick and easy cards for the Men in our life.

Masculine Cards

The cards are all made with the mini paper pack from Feature Arts Paper and is a great range about Cruising.

I simply cut some squares of patterned paper and layered it with some cork sheet, a canvas star and a couple of pieces of inked chipboard.

Another quick and simple design - a couple of squares of patterned paper, inked and adhered to the centre of a card base. Trim a striped piece into a banner, and a cluster of embellishments - chipboard cogs have been inked and then coated with Glossy Accents or similar to finish.

Chipboard pieces are such a great way to add a bit of jazz to a simple card. The negative or rubbish from a cog set is inked and then used as a cute frame on a focal point.

A couple of squares of patterned paper, cork sheet, clear stickers and a few pieces of a great mixed cog design roughly inked to add a bit of a weathered look. A couple of extra pieces of metal to finish.

It isn't always easy to create cards for the men but maybe try some simple designs for you next cards?

Imaginarium Designs - Group - Challenge

Hello again, 

and Thanks for stopping by my blog

whether you are here for the first time or the 50th time

Thank you, and Hello!!

Over on the Imaginarium Designs blog today our group post is sharing some ideas for a fabulous challenge being run this month

This is the mood board

and this is what I did with those joyful colours

I also took the circles,

and the photo of Aunty Sandra is 'important to me'

Happy Days

Photo of Aunty Sandra taken on one of her many cruises!!

I snipped apart the layers around a clock piece - one for around the face inked in orange - the circle in the bottom right hand corner and top left hand are one piece snipped into two pieces to 'stretch' the chipboard a little further! 

The stamping is from one of Fiona Paltridge's Aal and Create sets..

The centre of the clock inked in pale blue and clustered with a flair button, pink crochet doiley and resin flower in orange - a couple of embellishments from the May D-lish JAP kit.

The title HAPPY DAYS sprayed in white to highlight the beautiful script - a few little heat pearls sitting along the chipboard circle to finish.
