SF May Blog Hop - Masculine Theme

Well - Mom's day is over - so now it's all about the men lol!   Welcome to the Stampin' Friends Blog Hop for May - check out my blog post below, and then be sure to hop through all the rest (links at the bottom) to see all the amazing masculine projects and ideas.

For the cards above I used the Guy Greetings set - and let me tell you - it is killing me to see this set retired.  I have a hubby, brother-in-law, and a ton of brothers - and this has been my go to set!  It is especially great because it has a ton of images and sentiments.  So you can use it over and over again without repeating your card design.  These cards are for birthday's - but they could easily be transformed into Father's day with a change of the cover sentiment.

Guy Greetings Photopolymer - 137178 - $26.00

Below you can see how I added the 'to a classic' sentiment - and repeated the image from the front of the card.

Then to finish it off - I made these little Hershey nugget packages - so it can be given as a gift with the card.  I don't know about you - but the men in my life like chocolate - but all are watching their 'sweets' intake.  So these little nuggets are just the perfect size for a one a day treat.

They are covered with coordinating colors of cardstock, and then finished with a cute little tag to match the card.  How cute is that!

Hope you enjoyed my projects - now continue to hop on through the other blogs for more inspiration!  ~Maureen

New Catalog Open House

We had our annual New Catalog Open House and retired merchandise sale and had so much fun.  Here are ladies checking out the cards for sale; and stamping one of our FREE make and takes.

One of the make and takes (special project for our hostesses) was this adorable floral tag and clothespin - the clothespin is covered with Stampin' Ups! new Gingham Garden washi tape.  It goes on so nice and look how great it then coordinates with the new Gingham Garden DSP on the tag. 

Here it is shown on top of a gift bag - who wouldn't want to get a gift in this cute wrapping. 

Stop back soon to see the rest of the projects we made.  ~Maureen
