Big Trees

So I think trees make great manly man cards. Something about the great outdoors appeals to me when I am making a guys card. Add a TON of distressing and you get....


So sticking with my polka dot eraser technique, I made this cute oval border. Just traced an oval stenicl with penicl and then dot along the pencil line.  Other products used: TH Distress ink in Tea Dye and Walnut Stain, mini blender, Momento inks and of course a pencil with a good eraser.

Hope you like it.

Come back and check out the last great set!!!

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5.
