Puns from the Past

I have made sooo many cards with Puns from the Past!  This was a favorite I made for some of my "swaps " I did for convention last year.  I even turned it in to Stampin' Up and it was featured on the demonstrator web site!  I was quite honored :)

The base for the card is cut out using the Bigz Square Scallop Die.  If you score your card and place the "score line" just below the top cut line....your fold line will not cut and you can take advantage of the pretty edges left to shape your card.

The whisper white card stock was ran thru the Big Shot ( naturally!!) using the criss-cross texture plate.  I then used the 1/16th hole punch to make the holes at each intersection.  This texture plate made it super easy, since there were dots at the intersections!

A few fun embellishments with red polka dot ribbon, the Boho Blossoms Punch and a Crystal Brad finished off the card :)

Happy Stampin'

Sense of Time

As promised.....my first post of an ol' fave that is only available until the end of the month!  Sense of Time is a great stamp.  I love the vintage feel and it has made many, many masculine cards for me, too! 

While this card is made using Perfect Plum, Basic Gray and Very Vanilla....the colors can easily be substituted with any color considered a bit more "manly".

If you look closely, you'll see the ribbon is lightly shaded gray....when I first made this card, we didn't have gray taffeta ribbon....so I dyed Very Vanilla Taffeta ribbon myself by rubbing it in the Basic Gray Classic Ink Pad.  By the way....Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon is also being retired :( 

The cogs are stamped "second generation" in Perfect Plum on Very Vanilla Cardstock.  These are stamped lightly so the phrase stamped in Basic Gray stands out bold and clear....

A little bit of bling with a Crystal brad completes my card!

Happy Stampin'
