Thanks for joining me for another MAN-day Monday, where I share a handmade masculine card to give you some inspiration.
I’ve been going through a spat of ‘pun’ greeting cards, y’know the ones where you take advantage of the english language and play with it a little, resulting in a few cards which skirt along the border between funny and completely groan-worthy: Sending Birthday ‘fishes’, hope you’re ‘feline’ better soon…thats just two out of my massive repertoire!. 🙂
A little while back I remember Jennifer McGuire making a card that said ‘You’re plane awesome’ and when I saw this little tiny aeroplane on some scrapbook paper, I thought it would make a fantastic masculine card. I hope you don’t mind me recycling the pun you invented Jennifer.
The products I used are in the ‘in linkz’ thumbnails below – click on them to find out more.
I’ve been really enjoying using labels on my scrapbook pages, and have even made some of my own digitally using photoshop, but when i saw this stamp set i swear my heart skipped a beat. There are so many different styles, I can’t wait to get creative with them! There’s even one that you can use on your own ATCs.
There didn’t seem to be labeled with any manufacturer details, which is a shame because I wonder what other stamps they do. I haven’t had a chance to play with them yet so hope they are sturdy and stamp well. Time will tell I guess.
I’ve cut the pack into thirds so they fit into my stamp box alongside all my other A5 clear stamps. yeay!
So i know i’ve been really busy, but seriously???? How could I have missed that announcement!
As someone who has the whole collection of 36 Tim Holtz distress ink pads, imagine my shock when I stumble upon someone talking about limited edition colours! I think i actually shouted at my computer, and i frantically hit google. Geeeeez!
It turns out that Ranger have announced a limited edition trio of colours to the Distress Ink collection, especially designed with Autumnal colours. As ever, the colours are beautifully named with evocative titles: gathered twigs (a brown hue), ripe persimmon (an orange hue) and seedless preserves (a purple hue).
Tim has a great video to show us where these three colours lie in comparison to the other browns, orange and purple tones in the collection.
Check it out:
I have already placed an order – after all i can’t miss out on this limited edition set – that would mean my complete collection would once again be incomplete! If you want to get some too, you better act fast because apparently once they are gone, they are gone.
A little birdie tells me that they may be doing a winter edition as well- yipppppppppeeeeeeeeee!!
Come on postie – bring me my new distress inks to play with!
