Today's card features Tim Holtz Intertwined 3D Texture Fades, Film Strip Ribbon, Tiny Attacher Mini Stapler, Mini Paperclip & Distress Inks.

To create the sentiment I randomly added a variety of blue Distress Inks onto my card and then die cut it using Simon Says Stamps Happy Birthday wafer die.

Our masculine challenge is always a challenge for me as I'm not a fan of masculine cards & it's fair to say they aren't one of my strengths! The only masculine cards I always enjoy making is for a baby boy, as I love making baby cards.

On today's card I am featuring Your Next Stamp Mini Star Splatter clear stamp. 

This wasn't the product I intended to feature this week but my lovely Simon parcel containing the stamps I intended featuring has been somewhere in the UK for the last week & I'm itching to get my hands on it.

I have created a simple background using Simon Says Stamp Bokeh Lights Stencils & Old Paper, Brushed Corduroy, Pumice Stone, Vintage Photo & Antique Linen distress inks, & then I stamped my Mini Star Splatter stamp with Simon 's Fog Gray ink pad & stamped it a few times along my decorated area.

 Other supplies used - 

May Arts Twine,  Elizabeth Craft Designs Double Sided Tape, Tonic Guillotine, Tim Holtz Stamping Platform, Tonic Scissors, SSS Tacky Glue, SSS Black Pigment Ink Pad

I have a second card to share today which I created first and then couldn't decide if it was masculine enough so I created my above card instead but I do love the softness of the blues and greens on this card.

This card was created using the same supplies except for the distress inks being blues & green & this time I've used a sentiment from Simon's Handwritten Borders stamp set & the die cut stars are from Simon's Bundle Of Stitched Shapes.

I'm entering my card in the following challenges -

I have created a card featuring Honey Bee's Little Pickup Clear Stamps Set.

It's not like me to create a masculine card through choice & but this card just kind of happened without me giving it a second thought! I really like the way this stamp set is so versatile by giving you the choice of stamps to use which the truck can carry in the back of it. I have also stamped a couple of leaves to add to the top corner of my card from Simon Says Stamps Time For Wine stamps set & the images have been coloured with my copics and then fussy cut and attached to my card.

 Other supplies used -

Neenah Kraft card stock,  Simon Says Stamp It's Your Birthday stamp set,  Prima Autumn Sunset 6x6 papers,  SSS White Fun Foam, SSS Black Pigment Ink,  Elizabeth Craft Designs Double Sided Tape, Tonic Guillotine, Acrylic Blocks, Tonic Scissors, SSS Tacky Glue, Pearls, Simon Says Stamps Four Seasons wafer die, SSS Scallop Stitches wafer die & Friskars Round "N" Round Twist & Flip punch

Today I am featuring lots of different Distress Inks on my card. 

This challenge was perfectly timed for me as it's my daughters partners birthday today so I needed a masculine card to give to him.

I used Simon Says Stamp Triangle Blast stencil to create my background & I lightly blended Scattered Straw, Bundled Sage & Broken China distress inks over part of the stencil, focusing mainly on the middle section of my card.

I blended Peacock Feathers, Stormy Sky, Scattered Straw, Bundled Sage, Salty Ocean & Broken China Distress Inks over some scraps of card stock & once dry I stamped some sentiments & stars from Simon Says Stamps Birthday Celebrations & It's Your Birthday stamp sets in either Simon's Black pigment ink, Wild Honey, Mowed Lawn, Blueprint Sketch & Faded Jeans Distress Inks on to my ink blended card & also heat embossed some with white embossing powder.

I tore my pieces of ink blended card to reveal the white core of the card stock & them rolled and glued them into the shape of candles. I stamped a sentiment from Simon's It's Your Birthday stamp set & then attached my paper candles to my card. I added a small piece of May Arts Twine inside each of my paper candles & randomly added some Duck Egg Blue, Bottle Green & Buttermilk Crystal Drops & a few Sea Breeze Jewel Drops around the candles.

 Other supplies used -

  Elizabeth Craft Designs Double Sided Tape,  Tonic Guillotine, Acrylic Blocks, Tonic Scissors, SSS Tacky Glue, & SSS Embossing Ink Pad.

This week I am featuring lots of different Tim Holtz products as I have created three different cards! 

I have a box file with lots of different coloured images & unfinished projects in so I had a rummage through there and have finished an additional two different cards all featuring Tim Holtz products.

My first card features Tim Holtz Botanical 3D Texture Fade, Memo Pins, Butterfly Adornments, Heirloom Roses, Butterfly Punch, Winter Side Order Thinlets & Embossing Folder.

I decided to challenge myself to using some colours I don't normally put together & was totally uninspired looking through my huge card stock stash so decided to look at what Prima flowers I have & I decided to go with a peach colour and Simon's Fog Grey card stock.

Other supplies used are Simon Says Stamps Large Tag die, May Arts Twine, SSS Flickering Butterflies die, Nuvo Simply White Crystal Drops, & the sentiment is from Simon's Bouquet Of Thanks stamp set.

My next card is a very simple stencilled card using Simon's Circular Lace stencil with Scattered Straw, Broken China & Mowed Lawn Distress Inks.

The card stock is Simon's Green Leaf card stock, the sentiment is from Simon's Amazing stamp set & I have added a few Nuvo Duck Egg Blue & Buttermilk Crystal Drops.

Lastly I have created a totally CAS stamped card using Tim Holtz Mini Crazy Cats & Dogs stamps which I have coloured with my copics. 

I decided I wanted to fill the bottom of this card with Crazy Dogs so I chose the dogs I wanted to use and was playing around positioning the masks I had made but couldn't manage to fit them all in & see all of their little faces properly. I almost gave up & just stamped three dogs but then I had a light bulb moment and remembered reverse stamping! Once I had flipped some of the masks & jiggled them about I was happy with them so got stamping.

The sentiment and cute little paw prints are from Simon's Bone-A-Fide Birthday stamp set & have been stamped in Simon's Black Pigment Ink directly onto my card. 

 Other supplies used -

 Elizabeth Craft Designs double sided tape, Tonic Guillotine, Acrylic Blocks, EK Success STAMP-A-MA-JIG, X Press It copic blending card, Copic Markers, Tim Holtz Stamp Platform, & SSS Black pigment ink.
