Paper Crafting Blog Hop – For the Guys!

Welcome to our May Paper Crafting Monthly Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the world! Each demonstrator has created projects for the men in our lives! Below my card is a list of links to all of the participating bloggers.

My card features the Seaside Bay cling stamp set (#160436) and Seaside Bay Dies (160444)! I chose this set because my husband and I love the beach! The card base is the new color Pebbled Path with a layer of Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ DSP (#161449). You can see the bottom of the layer is stamped in Pebbled Path. One of the largest tags in Basic White from Tailor Made Tags (#155563) is the focal point of the card. The tag is decorated with stamped images and dies in Old Olive, Soft Seafoam, Gray Granite, Petal Pink, and Calypso Coral.

The tag is finished with Boho Blue 3/8″ Textured Ribbon (#161631) tied with Gray Granite twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack (#155475), three Classic Matte Dots (#158146) and the sentiment stamped in Gray Granite from the cling stamp set, Something Fancy (#160416). Here is a close up of the cute little crab. SSSHHHH, this is a birthday card for my husband!!
