Gentlemen Crafters Blog Hop June 2022

Welcome to the June Blog Hop!!!

This months card features the Butterfly Kisses Suite, it includes the stamp set, the dies, the embellishments, and the DSP. I had a blast making this card. I just took the DSP and the dies and cut out just the outlines of the butterflies (imagine if I’d cut out the detailed insides of the butterflies). Within minutes I had enough butterflies to create at least 10 cards!!! Easy, Quick, and so much fun! Hope you enjoy!!!

Hello There, welcome to another Gentlemen Crafters inspired blog hop post!

This card was a blast to make!

For The Record

I stamped the record with versamark and gold embossing powder. I also did that for the hash mark on the left side. Love the Shimmer of the gold! I finished off by embellishing with the resin stars, just for fun!

TGCDT April 2021 Blog Hop

This month I am taking more of a technique / process share, rather than a finished card. I love the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle and DSP (which may be sold out already, sorry).

I went over a friends for a couple days and brought what I thought was everything to make this months project. Well I brought everything except the stamp set.

I did my usual process to start a project or card, I cut out all kinds of the DSP and plain white and vanilla cardstock. Now I have all kinds of extras to easily make 10-20 cards!!!

I had a ton of fun playing with this bundle and now I’m off to color these with Stampin’ Blends! See ya soon!!!

Please make sure to stop by and check out all the projects these Gentlemen have shared this month!!!
