Hard Working Man

It's Masculine Monday over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration!!!  I often struggle with masculine cards, but thanks to the Adventure Bound DSP stack and Adventure Awaits stamp set, that struggle is much less than it once was.

 

This is a super simple card, but the sentiment makes such a big statement...there is no need to add any extras!  This card is going to my hubby...he's been putting in so many extra hours the past few months.  It's hard on all of us, but we know how to work through it and know it will be worth it in the end.

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Smoky Slate, Adventure Bound DSP Stack, Velum

Ink ~ VersaMark

Stamp Set ~ Adventure Awaits

Other Supplies ~ Black Embossing Powder, Mini Brads

 

I will be honest and say I wasn't too sure about this DSP when I first saw it, but now that I have used it, I LOVE it!!

 

Be sure to check out the other masculine creations over at SSINK and see what you might be INKspired to create!

 



The Adventure...

...is over, but the memories will last a lifetime!

I forgot to post this while I was at Leadership, but it's too fun not to share the card I made for my stampin' BFF and roomie, Cynthia.  It's always so much fun to spend time with her and I'm counting down the days until I get to see her again in July!

Pairing the Adventure Awaits stamp set up with the super cute Project Life Let's Get Away makes for an awesome card!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Typeset DSP

Ink ~ Memento, Bermuda Bay, Bermuda Bay Blendabilities

Stamp Sets ~ Adventure Awaits, Project Life Let's Get Away

Other Suppies ~ Apothecary Accents Framelits, Basic Black Taffeta Ribbon, Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim

 

I was a little intimated by these big sentiment stamps, but I am loving them now, even more so after seeing so many fabulous creations with them during Leadership.

 

I can't wait for our next adventure!!!

 

Happy Stamping!
