Stray Ducklings Blog Waddle - Masculine Cards

Welcome to another edition of the Stray Ducklings Blog Waddle. Today's waddle focuses on masculine cards and we've got a great group of ladies ready to share their wonderful creations! 

I chose to use a combination of the Mixed Drinks stamp set and Playful Backgrounds. The moment I saw all those circles (bubbles in my mind), I just knew they were going on a drink card of some sort :) 

More fizzy bubbles for the inside. 

The fun part of this card (for me) was adding glue from the fine-tip glue pen to give the "beer" a liquid look. 

Pretty cool and easy to do. The hardest part is waiting for the glue to dry so you can put your card together :)

Father's Day Tag Card

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. It's been very stormy & rainy here, but we don't have it nearly as bad as our friends in the South. The area where we take our horses trail riding got hit very hard over night. We're praying for our friends and everyone affected by all the flooding. 

I have a really rad 😉 card for you on this rainy Monday. It was made by my fellow Stray Duckling, Greta Whittemore (http://getcreativewithgreta.blogspot.com/)

The Custom Tee set is so much fun. We also have T-shirt Builder Framelit dies so you don't have to cut everything out by hand. AND the best part of all, both are on clearance right now! Get them before they're gone! 

Greta used gold embossing powder to heat emboss the statement on the shirt and she used Playful Background stamp on the tag.

The sentiment is from All Things Thanks. 

Isn't this an awesome card?! 

I love it because it's something very different from other cards. 

Until Tomorrow, Happy Stamping! :)

Stained Glass Technique

Hello Weekend! 😁

Today I get to meet with my stampin' sisters, the Stray Ducklings. I just love my time with these women. They are inspirational, caring, supportive and of course they share my love of paper crafting!

Speaking of which, I have two cards today compliments of those gals. Both cards use the same technique - Stained Glass. 

The first card was made by me but designed by Mary Heinzman ( http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/marycarolscards/ ) Mary used the Playful Backgrounds stamp set. She stamped them on Vellum using Versamark Ink then heat embossed them with our Silver Embossing Powder. She used her Regals Stampin' Write Markers to color in the backside of her embossed image. Viola! Stained Glass! I just love this card! It's so bright & cheery! 

The second card was made by me but designed by Bonnie Alexander ( http://aliveandstamping.blogspot.com/ ). Bonnie used the recently retired and sold-out Stylish Stems thinlets die and the Petal Burst embossing folder for her card. We attached a piece of Vellum on the back of the cutout and sponged Sweet Sugarplum on it to get this effect. Soft, subtle and elegant all at the same time!

The finishing touches are the sentiment from the Special Reason stamp set & the Sweet Sugarplum ribbon (Hurry! They're on sale, while supplies last!) 

I hope you get to enjoy the rest of your weekend being creative. 

Happy Stamping!
