Quick and Easy Masculine Birthday Card

If you every urgently need a birthday card for a young male relative but, to your great surprise, don't find anything suitable in your large stash of cards, here is an idea for you:

Take a piece of a saved tissue box (not the pink, flowery one), a big die, a matching sentiment stamp, a few pieces of washi tape, and a white card. 

And you are ready to write your wishes inside, sign it, make the rest of your family members sign, and mail it!

There you have it!

(But then again, you are probably more organized and plan ahead and everything...)

Stamps: My Favorite Things (sentiment)
Die: My Favorite Things (Happy)


Challenges:


CASology #191 "Washi"







Shopping Our Stash #245 "Something for the Big or Biggest Boy"






Retro Rubber Challenge #35 "Anything Goes"
I've had the stamp set for about 1.5 years






Be well,

Merry Christmas

With this card I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

I have to post this early because I probably won't get around to post again before Christmas!

Please forgive me for not being more active here. 

Looking forward to having more time to play and blog after the holidays!

Stamps: Hero Arts (winter scene), unmounted, unknown sentiment
Ink: SSS Smoke, Colorbox Chalk Warm Red

I managed to keep it really simple this year and even made a one layer card! I had a hard time getting this solid image to stamp well.

And look at this - it works for several challenges!

"Less Is More" - One Layer, Snow



CAS-ology - Snow




Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Winter

Simon Says Monday challenge - Anything goes





I am very happy to see that I have three new followers! Hopefully they will understand if I welcome them properly after the holidays. Then you also might have more time to visit their blogs!

Wishing you a very happy holiday season full of everything that makes you happy!

Warmly,
Susanne

Another masculine card without embellishments...

... although I know plenty of women who like geometric shapes and shades of blue (myself included)!

This one is for CAS-ology where the cue word is "Triangle" and for MUSE challenge #43 where Theresa Clavird provided this beautiful card for our inspiration. 

I used her diagonal layout which I really like and will certainly use again. As I mentioned above I didn't use any embellishments but I did raise three of the triangles with foam pads - can you see? Click on the links to find lots of inspiration. For both challenges you have until tomorrow (Sunday) to play!

As always, thank you so much for your visit and your comments! They make me so happy!

Wishing you a restful and creative weekend,

Susanne
