You’re Grand

March 7, 2018 By Mary Haugen

Sharing one last project with the Truly Tailored Suite today. How about a little treat box filled with goodies to let someone know how “grand” they are.

I started with on of the adorable little pizza boxes. I sponged Night of Navy all over it and let it dry over night. I layered the DSP and stamped image on top. I created the bow tie by punching out a piece of DSP with the Tailored Tag punch and cutting it in half and adding the tiny center piece. A couple of True Gentleman buttons finish off the box. And then I had to find the perfect treat to put inside –

100 Grand bars, of course (three will fit nicely in this little box).

Make sure you stop by on Friday. It’s time for another Inky Friends blog hop and we have some great projects lined up. Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

Lookin’ Sharp

March 2, 2018 By Mary Haugen

I was on a roll with the Truly Tailored Suite. I finally have several masculine cards in my stash! I saw a card similar to this one on Pinterest and knew this product suite would be great for my version.

How cool is that!? The True Gentleman Designer Series Paper is perfect for the fabric of this shirt card. I used the Tailored Tag punch to do the bottom of the pocket. I added one detail that you really don’t notice, but I think it makes a difference when you see the card in person. I went over the edges of all the dsp with a Night of Navy marker to cover the white core of the paper. I think it made it seem more like fabric. There is a thin strip added under the buttons and at the top of the pocket to help the seams stand out. The collar is adhered with a dimensional strip at the top (I also colored the Night of Navy to hide the white).

Thanks for stoping by! Happy stamping!

Classy Kind of Guy

February 28, 2018 By Mary Haugen

I often find it difficult to design cards for men. I tend to like a lot of accessories and BLING!! Thankfully, the Truly Tailored Suite in the Stampin’ Up! Occasions catalog makes it so much easier to create something more masculine, like today’s card.

I started with two patterns from the True Gentleman designer series paper. I just LOVE those little bow ties – so cute! Next i stamped the image from the Truly Tailored stamp set and punched it out with the coordinating Tailored Tag punch. The image actually has a comb over, but I wanted to keep the tie theme. So, I stamped the bow tie, fussy cut it out and adhered it over the comb. I think a tie is a little more “classy” than a comb. The Night of Navy Corduroy Ribbon covers the seam of the two pattern papers and two Nigh of Navy enamel dots finish off the details. This card came together pretty quick, the coordinating products in the suite made it easy!

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!
