World Traveler

Hi There! Today's card features this beautiful world map paper from Authentique paired with Simple Stories brown plaid paper. I die cut the square scallop using Spellbinders' Nestabilities. The brown plaid was freehand cut. I also did the compass by hand. I cut the background paper into 1 x 1/2" strips then cut again to form triangles. I then glued the triangles together to form a mariner's compass. It is popped onto the cream cardstock using 3-D foam tape. The numbers are from a strip of the Authentique Abroad Voyage paper. I added some stitching to finish the card. This would be a wonderful masculine card for Father's Day.


Supplies:
Papers: Authentique (Abroad Voyage), Simple Stories (Generation)
Inks: Rangers Distressing ink
Accessories: brad?
Tools: Spellbinders (Square Scalloped Nestabilities)

Happy Birthday

Hi Stampers! Happy Saturday! Kim here to share with you a masculine birthday card. I made the bow tie using Simple Stories patterned paper. I created the accordion fold then wrapped 3/8" ribbon around the center. I used a glue gun to keep the ribbon together. I freehand cut the banner with the birthday sentiment then added a couple of rhinestones to it. The rhinestones were colored in using a brown Copic marker. I created the embossing line on the brown paper using an embossing stylus and ruler. This would make a wonderful Father's Day card. All you need to do is switch out the sentiment.


Supplies can be found at A Scrap 'N Place:

Papers: Simple Stories (Generations Together), Cream & Brown Cardstock)
Inks: Rangers (brown & black ink), Copic
Accessories: Zva Creative (rhinestones), brown 3/8" ribbon
Tools: Spellbinders ( Nestabilities), Glue Gun, embossing stylus
