Casually Crafting Blog Hop - For the Boys!

Saturday, 20 May 2023

I'm back with another casual card for the Casually Crafting Blog Hop. We're a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators that love to stamp and love to share. We share card and projects that are simple and easy to create with a few products and are perfect for the beginner and casual stamper. Our blog hop goes live on the third Saturday of each month. I hope you'll join us and "hop" around our group to be inspired!

This month we're sharing projects "For the Boys". I decided to make a fun Father's Day card featuring the He's All That stamp set from the Annual Catalogue. I used Stampin' Write Markers for the stamped images - it's a great way to add colour to images when you don't have the coordinating stamp pads!

Don't you love this colour combination - 2 new In Colors - Copper Clay and Boho Blue. Yummy!

Instructions

Cut Copper Clay cardstock 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2". Fold and burnish on scoreline using Bone Folder to form card base.
Cut Designer Series Paper 4" x 5 1/4" and adhere to card base.
Cut Boho Blue cardstock 3 1/4" x 3 1/4"
Cut Basic White cardstock 3" x 3"
