MM136 - A 'must have' stamp set ....

Welcome to "Manly Monday" and I've used The Open Sea - a 'must-have' stamp set that everyone should have in their collection for masculine cards!

I've used our Color Me Irresistible DSP as the background and this piece (Mint Macaron) had water droplets -- so perfect for the sea!

I just love the punch of colour with the black and purple washi tape!

On the card:

• "The Open Sea" stamp set (w-128454,c-123032)
• "A Dozen Thoughts" stamp set (w-131056,c-131059)
• Color Me Irresistible DSP (138439)
• Happy Haunting washi tape (139608)
• 2 1/2" circle punch (120906)

SSU57 - Looking outside the box!

Welcome to "Saturday Step Up" where I'm using a stamp designed for valentine's for another card type.  

Remember...you can always remove the words on any stamp (mask off with tape) and use it for another use than initially intended.

I stepped up the left card by totally embossing the surface in Iridescent Ice embossing powder to make it glittery. (see enlarged image below) I also embossed the main card front and added ribbon.

I used on these cards:

• "Hey, Valentine" stamp set 
• "A Dozen Thoughts" stamp set
• Stampin' Write Markers
• Iridescent Ice embossing powder
• Chevron embossing folder
• cotton ribbon
• rhinestones

Have a great day!
