Weird Holidays: Penny Day

  All card sizes are: 4.25″ x 5.5″ “Interesting topic,” I thought to myself. I did a google search for ‘Weird Holidays’ in May. I chose May 23, my wedding anniversary, to see what that date would be. I was quite surprised to find out it is ‘Penny Day.’ I actually laughed out loud.  My first [...]

Penny’s Little Black Accent *B2B*

Continuing with our “Back to Basics” theme in 2010, I would like to talk about the “Little Black Accent.” A dear friend of mine, Betty, makes beautiful cards and there was something neat about them. I couldn’t put my finger on it. I just thought about how much I liked what she made. Later on, [...]

April Trail Map

March definitely roared out like a lion here in Southwestern Montana. So far, April hasn’t been much better with any spring-like weather. It’s a good time to be in the tree house (studio) playing with all the trail maps leading us on the summer trails to our panoramic vistas! To get us started on our journeys for spring, this [...]

Recycled Baby Wipes package lid card

It’s one of those crafter things: “I know I can use this for something, so I’ll put it away for later.”  That was my thought about the lids of those Baby Wipe packages. I decided to see how they would work for a card and this is what I came up with. I hope you [...]

Sweet Pea Rubber Stamps

Sweet Pea Stamps is a rapidly growing small home-based business located in Michigan. We pride ourselves in quality and value. I am a perfectionist, if it is not quality, I will not offer it.

More on Masculine Cards

Penny has three more masculine cards to share with you today.  As you can see, most of the cards shared by Penny and Melanie these past two weeks show that muted tones work well for ‘guy’ cards.  Color palettes of creams, browns, blues and greens  with a little bit of black thrown in,  evoke masculinity.   Combine these color [...]

Masculine Card 2

The Elephant Masculine Card   Subject is the first thing I think of when doing a masculine card. What could symbolize masculinity more than the strength and magnificence of an elephant? This card, again, uses the Sepia tones and sponging to add depth to the image. So hunt through your paper scraps again and find [...]

Masculine Cards, continued

The Old Truck Masculine Card We all do it! Keep the tiniest scraps of precious paper, rather than tossing it in the bin. Some of them are too nice to throw away and I’m never sure that I can get that paper again if it’s one of my favorites. So, it’s nice to use supplies [...]
