Bash My Stash Card for Dad with the Cardz 4 Guyz Challenge # 342

Mar 4, 2024 | Cardz 4 Guyz | 0 comments

Welcome to the newest Cardz 4 Guyz challenge! Our host for challenge #342, Johanna, chose Namesake Day – Use a Letter for the theme. When you finish here, please visit the challenge site to see what the rest of the very talented design team members created. Then, don’t forget to upload your creations to our gallery. We look forward to seeing your creations there!

Here’s my DAD card:

This truly is a Bash My Stash card -the cardstock, DSP (designer series paper), and the large letter dies are all retired. When I started pulling supplies for this card, I realized I don’t have a great deal of masculine DSP. You know what that means, right? Time to place an order!

Current products are the Real Red cardstock, the Basics Embossing Folder, and the Deckled Rectangle dies. Sometimes combining current with retired products works out.

If you by any chance still have the Sports Fan 12 x 12 inch DSP, that’s what I used. I fussy cut the “Yay” banner and trimmed down the “Best Day Ever” ticket.

I hope to see your interpretations of our challenge theme in our gallery over the next two weeks.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a Peachy Day!

Today’s the Day! New Online Exclusives are now available!

I’ve already ordered some of these products and have more on the way. I can’t wait to start playing with them! Take a look at just some of the new products available!

I love the script used for these sentiments. I’ve used the birthday one, and it fits so well on a landscape 5-1/2 by 4-1/4 inch card!

The stamps for these adorable critters are two sided stamps: the outline image is on one side and the animal is on the other. The sample card uses the animal stamp.

Personally, I think this background stamp is gorgeous! Don’t delay in ordering as it just came back in stock. I’ve got an order on its way to me, but this stamp might just be worth paying shipping for just this item.

I had previously ordered the natural polka dot ribbon, and now have the rest of the suite of products on the way. This suite would be suitable to masculine or feminine cards, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it!

Again, thanks for stopping by today!

Bashing My Stash Using Festive Creatures for Cardz 4 Guyz #336

Nov 28, 2023 | Cardz 4 Guyz | 1 comment

Welcome back to another bi-weekly Cardz 4 Guyz challenge. Our host for challenge # 336, Julie, chose Festive Creatures for the theme. When you finish here, I hope you will visit the challenge site to see the projects posted by each design team member. We’d love for you to play along and post your projects in our gallery!

Here’s my bookbinding card:

You can see additional bookbinding card posts here and here.

Measurements:

  • The Cherry Cobbler base measures 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 3-1/4 and 4-1/4 inches to create a bookbinding fold.
  • The Old Olive mat measures 5-3/8 by 3 inches.
  • The cute DSP (designer series paper) measures 5-1/4 by 2-7/8 inches.
  • Trim a piece of coordinating DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap. Punch a 1-inch circle of DSP for the envelope seal, which then gets run through your XYRON create-a-sticker,
  • There’s a coordinating piece of Old Olive DSP under the Cherry Cobbler ribbon. It measures 7/8 by 5-3/8 inches.
  • The white cardstock for the inside measures 3 by 5-1/4 inches.

Assembly:

Here’s a close-up picture of the open card:

  • The only place I used dimensionals was under the sentiment square. I used liquid glue or tear & tape for the rest of the elements.
  • Adhere the Old Olive cardstock to the base of the card.
  • Adhere the cute critters DSP to the Old Olive cardstock.
  • Adhere the strip of DSP to the left hand bookbinding part of the base of the card.
  • Wrap a piece of ribbon around the 3/4 inch piece of cardstock and DSP and tie a bow.
  • Use at least two pieces of tear & tape to the inside of the bookbinding piece of the cardstock and burnish well using a bone folder.
  • The sentiment comes from the Brightest Glow stamp set. I stamped it using Cherry Cobbler ink on white cardstock.
  • Crop the sentiment using a square die from the Stylish Shapes die set.
  • Then, run the square through your Cut $ Emboss machine using one of the Basics embossing folders.
  • Outline the sentiment square using a Cherry Cobbler Stamping Write Marker.
  • Adhere to the front of the DSP using dimensionals.
  • Adhere the white cardstock to the inside of the card.
  • With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.

Thank you for stopping by!

Have a Peachy Day!
