Happy Sunday everyone here’s wishing you a day of fun and rest.

My card challenges for today are The Card Concept — My inspiration is from the check blanket and the trees in the background, the planks on the building and the copper color of the lights in the lanterns.

And…

Watercooler Wednesday Challenges —   Marsha’s Challenge: Anything Goes With a Masculine Twist.

The first thing was to cut a panel of Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake card stock for the card base. Next was to crop the tree from Crumb Cake card stock using the Stampin’ Up! Majestic Mountain Dies. I then smushed the tree on the Delicata Copper Stamp pad to color the tree. To speed up drying of the ink, I used the heat tool.

The background is created using the Stampin’ Up! Buffalo Check Stamp and Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake card stock that has been embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder then popped on the Crumb Cake card base using Stampin’ Up! Mini  Stampin’ Dimensionals. Embossing the Buffalo Check panel gives it the appearance of being flannel.

Next, using a Stampin’ Up! Layering Oval Die, I cut an oval from Stampin’ Up! Basic Black Cardstock, popping it on the Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake card stock panel embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder. The tree was then glued to the oval using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The “Time To Celebrate” greeting is from the Stampin’ Up!  Itty Bitty Birthday Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink on a scrap of Crumb Cake card stock and cut with the smallest Stitched Rectangles Die.  It is popped on with Glue Dots.

Five little red hearts are stamped in Stampin’ Up! Real Red ink on a Crumb Cake card stock scrap and fussy cut and added to the card front. The little hearts give it a touch of color and could be used for a masculine valentine card by changing the greeting.

The sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tropical Stamp Set is stamped in Delicata Copper Ink on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Very Vanilla card stock.  The tree is adhered in the lower corner.

A panel from Stampin’ Up! 6” x 6” Neutral Designer Series Paper is adhered to the flap of a Stampin’ Up! Very Vanilla envelope.
