GUY Week: Seafaring MEN

There's just something about a ship that says strength, constancy, stability, dependability.  Remind you of any of the men in your life?  Thankfully, I am blessed to say 'yes' to that!  My dad, my father-in-law, my husband, and my four grown sons are all men for which to be grateful - and I am!

I think this card depicts strength and stability - a firm anchor in an unpredictable world!

The ship is stamped and cropped with the Extra-Large Oval punch and matted with the Decorative Label punch.  The light gray panel edges are distressed to give it that aged feel, and after the anchor was stamped, I paper-pierced a line of holes upward and connected them with a Basic Gray marker to resemble chain links.

Inside these cards, I used birthday and thank-you sentiments to show appreciation to the guys in my life.  I like how they turned out!

GUY Week: MEN and their Birthdays!

You know, so often I'd rather play with 'pretty' papers and images - and then one of the guys in my life has a birthday!  So I have to think outside the box a bit and come up with a card he won't be embarrassed to display!  Here's a design that has gone over well - take a look!

You can create this card with any stamps and papers you might have - just come up with a 'guy' color combo and you're good to go!
