Masculine Tools – Cards for Men

By on April 23, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have some masculine cards, with tools and all! I have three ideas for you using the April 2020 Hedgehog Hollow Kit.

Today I’m using some fun techniques in my video: like the ink pad direct to paper technique to create the fun silvery background.

Metallic silver ink pad creates a stunning background

I’m also sharing my FAVORITE way to adhere vellum without seeing any of that adhesive. And an embossing folder to create a peg board look.

Watch the video below or on YouTube:

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

Which one is your favorite? Thanks for stopping by today!

For the Men in our Lives

By on June 23, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello again! I’m here to share some fun cards for Dad and Grandpa! These are made with the June 2018 Hedgehog Hollow box (which I believe are now sold out!)

Affiliate links are used, when possible, at no additional cost to you. When you purchase items using these links I get a small commission that helps me to pay for my blog costs, thank you!

I couldn’t resist using the tissue paper from the box….yes: the tissue paper that all the goodies were wrapped up in! It was the cutest mustache tissue wrap and I just knew it needed to be the card panel background for my grandfather. So, I turned it into this card:

I used Stick It to adhere to the tissue paper and then I smoothed it out with my Teflon bone folder and was able to get all the wrinkles out! That made it so easy to attach to my 110# card base.

My grandfather would really get a kick out of this. But let me explain that mustache in the bottom corner…it is on an ACTION WOBBLE so it moves!! He would laugh and laugh because he really liked the “Groucho Marx” look and I can just see him wobbling that mustache for hours. This is for you, Grandpa!

My second card features the awesome background stamp that looks like a metal tool box…I thought it would look stunning on a kraft background heat embossed with silver.

The silver embossing is just the thing to make it shine! I cut the large “dad” die cut out of blue glitter paper (blue is, in fact, my Dad’s favorite color!) I know that Father’s Day has already passed, but this could make a fun Birthday card or Congratulations card. And the black adds just another masculine touch.

I have really enjoyed making some cards for the men in my life. I hope you have enjoyed these projects, too. And I’m super excited to share the next ideas I have for this box…that’s coming up next week! Until then, I hope you get some crafty time in. 😉
