Paper Crafting Blog Hop – For the Guys!

6 Comments

So happy you are hopping through our August Paper Crafting Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the world featuring special cards for the guys in our lives! Below my card is a list of links to all of the participating bloggers. Here’s a little preview of my card:

My card features the Take to the Sky Suite (#163832) which includes the Adventurous Sky Bundle (#163447) and the Take to the Sky DSP (#163436). This DSP and others are 15% off through the end of August while supplies last.

My card base is Copper Clay, with a layer of Basic White and then a layer of Take to the Sky DSP. Next, I cut 6 “postage stamps” in Basic White using the Perennial Postage Dies (#162607) and then 6 contiguous pieces of Take to the Sky DSP, each about 1-1/8″ square. I lined up the postage stamps touching, with one detached to be used for this special airmail card I stamped the sentiment in Copper Clay and then embossed it with another die from the Adventurous Sky Dies (#163446).

Thanks for hopping with us this month. Go to –> Maureen’s blog to see what she has created.
