A simple masculine card

Hello, hello!

Happy Monday, hope your week is starting off right?! :)

Today, I'm up on the Brass & Bliss Craft Co. blog sharing a simple masculine card. 

I always seem to struggle with masculine cards, not sure exactly why but I do. However, I do find the simpler the better for masculine cards. Maybe that's just me?...but if I keep things simple, it seems things come together and work out perfectly for a masculine card. ;) 

Here's what I'm sharing on the Brass & Bliss blog...

A tropical card.

Hi y'all! 
Happy Friday! :)


I'm swinging in real quick to share a super easy (and I mean super easy) card with you. I'm also joining the fun at Not 2 Shabby's June Monthly Mood Board Challenge. :) 

Without further ado, here's my card...


Simple, right?!...I'm not sure if you're familiar with the EZ Wonder dies?....but let me tell you, I am hooked! (lol) One (big) die cuts a whole piece of 6x6 paper and pretty much zero waste. Is that not awesome?...being it cuts so many pieces at once, you can pick and choose what to use or not and it makes putting together a card, super quick and easy. Just saying. ;) 


I did not use all the pieces for my card, I was just playing with things to see what would come. The only thing I did myself was fussy cut the tropical image. That's it. No stamping, just a little bit of layers, some paint splatters and a touch of enamel dots. I opted for no sentiment because sometimes you just need a blank card. ;) Sooo easy, right?!...

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a wonderful Friday and weekend!

Gnome hello

Hi y'all! 
Happy Thursday, almost Friday! :)


I'm swinging in today to share a card I made for the current Not 2 Shabby Challenge. I certainly have been under a rock (lol) because I didn't know about these challenges until recently...seriously, where have I been?! (lol) Did you know about the challenges?...If not, I highly recommend checking the challenge out. ;) 

Without further ado, here is my card...


What's that?...A gnome on my card?! (lol) If you know me, then you know you'll rarely see a gnome on any of my cards. But how could one resist the cuteness of these gnomes?!...I kept things sooo simple, not even using a stamp nor coloring my card. Just some patterned paper, a die cut 'hello', and a gnome image from PET tape (yes, tape!) with a touch of enamel dots. So easy, right?!...

Well, that's all for me. 
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a wonderful day!
