The Artful Stampers Blog Hop # 19

Welcome from Annette's blog this week.

We have a colour challenge again.

I decided to do another masculine thank you card this week as I thought this colour scheme went really well. The You Brighten My Day stamp set is from our Sale-A-Bration catalogue and can be chosen for free with any purchase of Stampin' Up! products to the value of only $90. 

The first card I made was a copy of the card that Brian King from Stampin' with Brian made last week. I really loved the simplicity of it (I did change a couple of small details though).

CASE'd from Brian King

I then decided to try and come up with my own interpretation of this card, so flipped it on its side and did some embossing as well.

The Artful Stampers Blog Hop #18

Welcome from Carolyn's blog.

Sketch Challenge time again.

A quick one this week. I needed to make some thank you cards suitable for males so took advantage of this weeks challenge and a new stampset. The Guy Greetings set from the new occasions catalogue is really great as it can be used for all sorts of occasions for the men in your life. You will definitely be seeing more from this set I am sure.

I am thinking that I am going to make a set of these cards using some of the other Hello You Thinlits Dies. To give to my Grandma for her birthday in April. The most time consuming part is fussy cutting the flower layers, but I love the depth that it gives to the card.
