Masculine Card Making: Got 10?

Welcome to today’s Got 10 Card…a card in 10 minutes or less!  I’ve had some requests for some masculine cards, so that was my goal today.  I’m not sure this is my favorite card…what do you think?  Anything you would change?  I like the layered punches and I loove the Vintage Trinkets….but there is something that I’m not sure about.   Maybe it’s the gathered ribbon?  Maybe I needed more sponging on the Elegant Soiree Designer Paper and the Cherry Cobbler Layer?

When prepping for this card, I realized I don’t have a lot of masculine stamp sets, so choosing colors, patterns and a greeting set the stage here. 

Once I chose my colors, the rest was fairly simple.   My card base is 11 x 4-1/4, then a 4×4 layer and a 3 x 3-1/2" layer finished off the card base.  A few punched shapes and a greeting and I was done!  See the steps of making this card in the video (If you are reading this in a feed, click on the post title to view):

Got 10? with Create a Cupcake Stamp Set!

Happy Easter Monday everyone!  I hope you enjoyed the holiday weekend with friends and family.  I was in charge of dinner yesterday, but the best part wasn’t anything I made…it was the dessert. 

Generally, if it doesn’t involve chocolate, I’m not interested, but my Mother-in-law brought a Lemon Meringue Pie and a Coconut Cake,  Oh, my goodness…they were to DIE for!  Both from scratch, and both were just heavenly.

I guess I couldn’t get desserts outta my head today when I grabbed for the Build-a-Cupcake Punch and coordinating Create-a-Cupcake Stamp Set !  For this card, I have to tell you, the "hardest" part was lining up the cupcake and the greeting so that it was evenly spaced out on the layer (2-3/4 x 4).

Using the  Build-a-Cupcake Punch and the coordinating Create-a-Cupcake Stamp Set makes it easy to make a card like this. 

The punch, punches out lots of little shapes and you probably want them different colors, so I find it easiest to do my stamping on a narrow, but long scrap of paper.  Narrow, so you don’t get gazillions of little punch outs all over.  Long, so you have something to hold onto while inserting into the punch.  See what I mean:

If you are interested in the  Build-a-Cupcake Punch and the coordinating Create-a-Cupcake Stamp Set, be sure to get it by Saturday, April 30.  There is no guarantee that it will be available again! 

The same goes for everything in theSpring Occasions Mini Catalog.  Be sure you don’t miss out on your favorites!
