Here’s to the next adventure

Hey everybody! Well, another Monday has rolled around… where the heck did the weekend go?! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Birthstone Challenges and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for BSC #3 – Anything Goes with Emerald & Pearl Colors! I was really looking forward to this one because green happens to be my all-time favorite color! I used the Stampin’ Up Hats Off stamp set and Hat Builder dies to create this masculine birthday card. I don’t keep many guy cards in my stash so this came in handy. ;)

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from CutCardStock Basis 110# Natural cardstock along with layering panels from Crafter’s Companion Just For Men Brights Collection 6×6 paper which I adhered together and added a strip of Eyelet Outlet green dotted skinny washi tape at the seam. Using the Stampin’ Up Hat Builder dies, I die cut the hat pieces from CutCardStock Basis Green cardstock and scraps of the Just For Men patterned papers. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Hats Off stamp set, which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from Basis 80# Natural cardstock and embellished it with strips of the Just For Men patterned paper and Basis Green cardstock used on the front as well as a tiny hat die cut. I stamped the sentiment from the Keep It Simple Birthday Sentiments stamp set in Memento Morocco ink.

Crazy cat lady and crafting junkie! We have 10 feline rescues. I’m addicted to stamping and love making cards, ATCs, and 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, paper purses and mini albums). I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling, altered art and custom jewelry. If you’re looking for me, I’ll either be in my studio or getting some kitty lovins! ;)
