"Fri-Yay With Six Shares"

Hello Crafters, Friends, Family, Followers and Visitors.
We made it to the end of the week without any incident.  We are still breathing and staying safe.
I've been card making during the times that I can get it in.  It is planting season at our abode..flowers and vegetables.  If we can only keep the squirrels away, then we will be okay.  Maybe we will get a chance to enjoy something in the vegetable line that we have already planted.
When I didn't post on this blog, there are cards that floated around on Instagram.
Take a look and enjoy:

"Masculine Card Share"

Happy Monday, August 12, 2019.
How was your weekend?   Did you craft?  Did you shop?  Did you relax?  Did you go to the beach?
Did you go to the Jazz Festival or Watermelon Festival?
I had a very relaxing and quiet weekend.  Guest did drop in on Saturday afternoon but that is all they did...they came in and visited for ten minutes and was out the door to drop in on some other people in our neighborhood. 
I worked on some masculine cards for your enjoyment today.  This kind of card is not something I do every week.  To be honest, I don't have a lot of masculine supplies for the men. 
I've been cleaning and organizing things in my craft area and I came across  items I  could used for these cards.  The one with the 39 will be for a young man this week who attends our church.  His birthday is on Thursday.   My brothers are no longer living so I will not need a card in this area.  Therefore, the "brother" card will be placed in my "soldier box" to be sent away.

 Items Used:
Cardstock: Neenah white for the base; Graphic 45 (Olde Curiosity Shoppe Collection); Tim Holtz (Paper Stash); the index card, car and bottom piece were in my stash.   I used the Graphic 45 piece to cut out two numbers for someone turning 39.
Embellishment: TPC Studio Gold Metal Accents

Items Used:
Cardstock: Michaels Kraft cardstock for the base; Graphic 45 (Olde Curiosity Shoppe Collection); Time Holtz (Paper Stash); Corrugated cardboard die cut into star shape;
Embellishment: Prima feathers; tags and circle from my stash;  clear faux gems
sentiment cut on my Circut (saved in my stash of words).

I would love to see your masculine cards so I can be inspired to create more in this line.  If you have some to share, please post them.

Thanks so much for your support and comments.

Sending you a hug and love,

"A Masculine Card...Father's Day Or Birthday"

Good Monday, June 12, 2017 to you.
I'm glad you're back for another day of viewing.  Many of us are working on those last minute Father's Day cards for Sunday, June 18, 2017.   I had finish so today I made a card with a "male" in mind.  This card can be used for Father's Day or for a male's birthday. 
We love the men and it can be challenging sometimes to create a card for them.  Still, we try to do our best.
The stamp I used comes from Penny Black "T for Transparent heartfelt clear set and the paper for decoupage came from Hunkydory "The Second Little Book of Decoupage".

 From the Little Book of Decoupage, I took out three pages of the same image.  I used two of the pages to cut out individual parts of the picture for the decoupage.  If you cannot tell, take a closer look at the book with the seashells, the boat on the table, the red & black boat at the top as well as the lighthouse and the red wheel on the bottom right. (I'm sorry my photography doesn't do the card justice).

I tried to take a photo from the side view so you could see the layers.  It is still a little hard to tell but it was done.

These are just the two most important items used other than the designer paper that came from Recollections Bright and Basic paper pad.  On the far left is the stamp set from Penny Black and on the right is the book from Hunkydory.

I've given this card the sentiment, "enjoy your day".  As stated, it can be used for Father's Day or for a birthday.  I stopped short of adding something in the inside because I will not be using this at the moment.  When the occasion comes (for male birthday), I'll fix up the inside with a personal message.  Otherwise, I'll include some pretty paper and put in in my box for the soldiers.
