The Gentlemen Crafters Bloghop

Hey ya’ll, I’m halfway through with moving into my new house and the GCDT blog hop has given me a much needed break to be creative.

I must say I absolutely love all the products in the Peony Garden Suite. It was so peaceful to color this image in with my Stampin’ Blends. I looked up all the colors that peonies come in and one match perfectly with the in color pretty peacock. I will definitely be trying this set out in all of the peony colors.

Please visit all of the Gentlemen Crafters Blogs for some inspiring projects and ideas!

Martin is setting this month out.

I’m in the process of trying to buy a house and this blog hop slipped my mind until it was time to post. Thankfully with Stampin’ Up! you can create cards in a snap. I created these cards using the Whale of a Time Suite Collection. Creating this cards was quick and easy and gave me a much needed break from the stress of packing and moving!

Please visit these other creative gentlemen’s sites for more fun ideas and projects!

This is my first ever blog hop entry and am excited to be a part of The Gentlemen Crafters.

 

 

This was a quick, simple, and easy card to put together, Thanks to the BOHO Indigo Product Medley. All I had to do was Stamp the vase out and use the dies to perfectly cut the image to place on the card. Love the Designer Series Paper that comes in the medley. The hardest part was trying to decide which pattern to use. The ribbon is lovely and lush ! I finished off with the delicate looking flowers that come pre-assembled in the kit!! What’s not to love!! If you’d like more details or instructions leave me a comment ! See Ya’ll next time !!!

This set features the delicate lace edgelits (p217) and petal promenade dsp (p190) using powder pink cs (p183) and petal pink cs (p186). Sentiment stamped in melon mambo ink (p185) with sentiment from You’re Inspiring (p132). I embellished with stitched label framelit (p220) and faceted dots (p197).

This starts with a very vanilla base card (p192) then stamped flower from petal promenade (p107) in blackberry bliss (p187) and also for sentiment on vellum (p192) the base layer of vellum was run through the big shot (p214) with tufted embossing folder (p223) also used the petal promenade dsp (p190) cut with scalloped square from layering squares framelets (p218)

 

This card features the beautiful you stamp set (p132), the calypso coral ink pad (p187) and stampin’ blend (p205) on vellum (p192) and a piece of petal promenade dsp (p190)  on very vanilla cs (p192)

 

This was another quick card using the Darling Label Punch Box (p44). I stamped the sentiment and punched it out, colored it in with stampin’ blends (p205). I used the same sheet of dsp to make the background and used the square stitched shape die (p220)to cut out the design on the other side. I also embellished with green doily (p192) on a base card made out of gorgeous grape cs (p185).

  

I couldn’t decide which one I liked best. I heat embossed the images from enjoy life (p58) in black (p202) Then I used the daubers (p203) to add new in colors (p183). Love this stamp set with this style background, makes a pretty card in no time !!!

This was so quick and turned out beautiful. I took the focal image from the tea room memories and more card pack (p195) and attached to the memories and more cards and envelopes (p194). Then stamped the sentiment from Sorry for Everything (p115) in gorgeous grape (p185).

This is a masculine themed card with a rustic feel.  I heat embossed in copper (p202) on the wood texture DSP (p 191) using the country road stamp set (p163). I embellished with a piece of the burlap ribbon (p200) and buttons (p 199). I used the small piece from the diagonal cut of ribbon to make the frayed rope around the top button.
