A Birthday Card for a Gentleman! {Color My Heart Color Dare #591}


Hello and Welcome to my blog!

Looking for a birthday card for a special man in your life? 

Forget the cheesy, overly decorated cards. 

In this blog post, I'll show you how I created a masculine, elegant card with a unique touch. 

Using this color combination from the Color My Heart Color Dare #591


Here's my card:

I selected classic colors like Navy Blue, used 3D Dibble Tile Embossing Folder from the Simon Says Stamp March kit and created a black background with a rough texture that mimics the sanding effect, adding a masculine and vintage touch to the card.


I used this die twice for the word "Happy" in navy blue to add some depth it, and the word "Birthday" in order to create a shadow and depth effect. 

The inside is blank to write a congratulatory message, a meaningful memory, or an inspiring quote.

I really love the out come an elegant, masculine birthday card with a unique touch that will surely surprise the birthday boy. 

This card is perfect for any man, from a father or grandfather to a friend or coworker.

Sending Love & Hugs - A Delightful Card with Simon Says Stamp!


Welcome, crafty enthusiasts! 

Today, I'm so filled with excitement to share a card I created using the March Simon Says Stamp Kit. From the moment I received this kit full of goodies, I couldn't wait to get my hands inky and unleash my creativity!


This kit is a dream, packed with exclusive elements that will have you reaching for each piece to create a quite a few beautiful cards.

Here's a peek inside the kit:


Now, let's take flight with my card design!

Began by heat embossing the largest butterfly from the stamp set with gold embossing powder, creating a stunning metallic effect.

I used my Oxide Inks to ink blend the butterfly, adding vibrant hues and depth and using the wafer die, I cut out the butterfly. Set aside.

Cut out a 3.5" x 3.5" circle and embossed it with the Dibble Tile 3D embossing folder, adding a touch of texture. On a piece of white pearlescent cardstock, I stamped the sentiment "Sending love & hugs" from the stamp set using Memento gold ink. 

a closer look of the supplies used: 




I carefully layered the embossed circle and sentiment onto my card base, using a green border and aqua cardstock layer for added visual interest. Using double-sided foam adhesive, I popped the metallic butterfly onto the embossed circle, creating a beautiful focal point. 

The sentiment was then placed below, and the green border added a finishing touch. To accentuate the card, I added a few rhinestones above the sentiment, adding a touch of sparkle. 

Finally, I used Glossy Accents to highlight the butterfly's wings, adding an extra layer of shine and dimension.


I absolutely love how this card turned out! 

It was a fantastic opportunity to practice my Oxide Inks Blending technique again, and I'm thrilled with the results.

Feeling inspired?

Happy Birthday!!


Welcome to my Blog!

Today, I'm excited to share a card I created as part of my journey to improve my blending techniques. Blending has always presented a significant challenge for me, but I've embraced it as an opportunity for growth and skill development.

This particular card project allowed me to delve deeper into the art of blending, pushing myself to experiment and refine my skills.

It's all about embracing the process and learning along the way.


Here's my card


my card base is white vertically 4.25" x 5.5", I used the Embossing folder Petalos from Lora Bailora to make layer one using Pearl White CardStock, then for the second layer I used 3D PatchWork embossing folder from Spellbinders and then used my Oxide Inks to make the Blending background..... this was really a challenge... I wanted it to have the soft look and that you could see all the colors and the blend looked so subtle.  I had so much fun!

Used Black heat embossing powder for the sentiment on a strip of Vellum, sentiment is from the Put Your Party Hats On stamp set from the Simon Says Stamps Monthly kit. As the finished touch I added some sequins around the top layer.



I'll also be submitting my card to participate in this month's #SSSIGChallenge, which focuses on the theme of Ink Blending.

It's an exciting opportunity to showcase my blending techniques alongside other talented creators.
