October Stamp Camp Cards #4

I love all the color combinations & patterns in the International Bazaar DSP. I thought this would make a great addition to my always small supply of 'male' cards.

Birthday Card

Birthday card I made for my friend Aaron whose birthday is 2 days after mine. I kept it plain thinking he'd prefer it that way. I love the super easy pocket card and it fits little scratch-offs- which I send in birthday cards- perfectly. It's definitely one of my 'go-to's' for male cards. With stamp camps and a Stamp A Stack coming up soon, you'll be seeing more versions of this card in the very near future. :)

January Stamp Camp

January Stamp Camp Cards

 The hot air balloon card was one of the cards I made Lauren for her birthday and we both loved it so much we thought it would be a good idea to show everyone how to make it. Unfortunately I did not write down which blog I got this fantastic idea from, if you happen to know, please let me know so I can edit this post to give appropriate credit.

Same with the Elebration card, can't remember where I got the idea, so if you know, please let me know asap. I LOVE this card, it was definitely my favorite of the month and I wish I knew a whole bunch of people to give this to cause I'd love to make it over and over again, lol. I love elephants, they are so underrated and mistreated by so many people. 

 The last 2 cards were cased  with a few tweaks added from the January edition of the Stampin' Success mag. Such terrific ideas in there! The new Sale A Bration Elementary Elegance stamp set was used for the baby card (I LOVE this set so you'll probably be seeing a lot of it, lol), and the Occasions Mini Candy Conversations stamp was used for the Valentine.

Elementary Elegance Birthday Card

My baby brother Michael turns 22 on January 19th & this is the card I made for him. I absolutely LOVE the way it turned out and I am very excited to find a use for Island Indigo which is not a color I'm very fond of. Lauren thinks it looks just like Taken With Teal, I have always disagreed with that but I will admit, it definitely looks good WITH Taken With Teal, lol.

This super simple card is made with Taken With Teal and Island Indigo Cardstock, Island Indigo Ink, the Elementary Elegance SAB Stamp Set and Pewter Brads.

I cased this card from one I saw at http://artfeltexpressions.blogspot.com/. Thanks to Debra Currier for the awesome idea!! I see alot of these cards in different colors in my future, lol. Good male cards are hard to find!

Alec's Bday Invites

Alec's birthday party invite. When I asked him what he wanted the invites to look like, his only stipulation was that they be 'Bob Marley colors', lol. Unfortunately, not the easiest combo to work with and not very inspiring. I spent most of the time making sure they didn't turn out Christmas-y looking, lol. Alec seemed satisfied with the results & I'm glad the stress of making them is over :)

SU Cardstock- Glorious Green, Real Red and Daffodil Delight. The DSP is also SU, but I can't remember which pack it's from. The DSP ring opens with the card, I was too afraid if I made it a slider the thin DSP would tear when people were trying to slide it back on. SU 2 1/2" Circle Punch, Decorative Label Punch & Daffodil Delight brads.
