May’s Stampers 10 Projects

Our May Stampers 10 get together is Wednesday, the 25th.  With father's day coming up, I was thinking something masculine.  And what better than The Open Sea Stamp set and the Nautical Expedition DSP from the Summer Mini Catalog.  The bag is made with the Newsprint DSP from the Idea Book and Catalog. 

I also decided to make some 3-D projects rather than just cards.  The bag is from a tutorial I saw last year on Stampin' With Di. The gift box was from another tutorial, that I saw last year at www.itstimetostamp.blogspot.com

 

 

I used the Faux Metal technique to emboss the anchor.  

 

 

 

 

I inked the earth stamp with VersaMark and then Not Quite Navy and embossed with clear embossing powder.

Autumn Days

I think one of the most asked for cards I get – because I don't do a lot of them – is male birthday cards.  I've had the Autumn Days Stamp Set for a while and did some cards at Christmas with the pinecone and willows, but never used the pheasant.  So I decided to give the guys the bird – pheasant that is!  LOL  It's hard to step away from all the pretty vintage designs Stampin' Up! has but there are some really nice masculine ones also.
