Masculine Valentine's Card

Here is my masculine valentine's card that I will be placing in the mail to a few of male buddies including good ole dad. Making masculine cards for me is sometimes a little challenging but I gave it a try and can't wait to see what a few of them will say. I know one in particular who is going to think my card is worth a million dollars my dad. But great dads encourage their kids even at my age.

Hi All:

I think I may have my stampin mojo back and it feels good. I received my March stampin success magazine and saw this card in there and I have to make this card.

This is what I enjoy about stamping you can see a card and use different stamp sets and come out with the same results.

Fatz Invites

My middle niece will be turning 10 years old in a few days. Here name is Justiss but I call her Fatz because when she was born her belly was bigger than her entire body. I promise it looks like here belly weighed 15 pounds by itself. Fatz wanted to make her our invitations this year instead of her mom purchasing them. So on Wednesday evening Fatz, Candace (her mom) and I went into design mode. I thought a pocket card would be nice and something different and from there all of us helped design Fatz invites. I used a retired simply scrapping kit for the designer paper but she loved that fact that the paper was polka dots and pink. Pink is Fatz color.

Card Recipe:
Stamp Set: Party Hearty
Cardstock: Retired Simply Scrapping Kit, Regal Rose, Pink Pirouette, White and Kiwi Kiss
Ink: Regal Rose
Accessories: Scallop Punch,Circle Punch, and Circle Ice Rhinestones
Technique: Masking and Embossing

Thanks for stopping by and looking at our family creation for Fatz
