Masculine card

 This week the challenge at Art Impression is "Let's hear it for the Boys".  Today is my husband's birthday so the timing was perfect for this challenge.  He loves to golf so I picked the Art Impression's Golfer Gordon stamp set to make his card.  This image is soooo darn cute, he just makes me smile.  My husband got a good chuckle out of the sentiment.


I stamped the image on cryogen white cardstock and colored him with copic markers.  Masculine cards are fun to make because they are so simple, although I rarely make them.  Why is that?  Guess women just seem to enjoy them more than men and probably appreciate them more too.  Either way, I like making both.

Hope you decide to create a masculine card so that you can enter the challenge with me.

Have a great day!

Buttons and Bows

 This week's challenge at Art Impressions is Buttons and Bows.  I choose to use a golden oldie stamp set of Art Impressions called Golden Gramma.  This is an old stamp set and, unfortunately, it is discontinued, but it one of my favorites.  She is the true depiction of a granny, with the curlers from years past and all.  Picture your gramma running after you to give you one of those best gramma hugs ever.  Those were the days! ๐Ÿ˜‚


I stamped the image on cryogen white cardstock and colored her with copic markers.  Since I love shape cards, I decided to get out my silhouette machine.  Such an easy way to create any shape you want and then make it into a card.  I used a punch from my stash to make the border.  

Hope you enjoy my card and it makes you think of your gramma.
