Manly Meadow

I'm excited by this week's "in the garden" challenge at The Male Room #136! 
I ran straight to My Meadow for this one, I was thinking of the little wheelbarrow right away!  I built a little scene with the barrow front and center, and used Pretty Peacock for my accents - love this In Color!  I hunted around for a sentiment, and finally came across this one from Butterfly Gala - but I have a Happy Father's Day from the My Wonderful Family Paper Pumpkin inside - this card will be perfect for my Da - he has a HUGE 2 acre garden down on his ranch outside Austin, and I can just picture him out there puttering in the kale, lol.  This'll be my hint to add some pretty flowers, too!
My Meadow, Butterfly Gala & My Wonderful Family PP Stamp Sets; Whisper White, Pretty Peacock & Crumb Cake CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Old Olive, Early Espresso, Granny Apple Green, Real Red, Pretty Peacock & Pool Party Inks; Rectangle Stitched Dies; Pinewood Planks EF; Linen Thread; #TMR136.

Dad to the Grill Rescue

Oo, excellent challenge at this week's The Male Room #113 - a cooking or baking theme!  I know my sweetie is a master griller - that boy can cook!
This card is kind of a joke about something that happened here recently - a neighbor had a little trouble with a grill fire next door while we were out in the pool, and hubby ran over to help calm the inferno real quick - I've been teasing him ever since, lol.  I figured I would use the Apron of Love for this card, but then I got the idea to use the Everyday Hero set, and gave him a grill toll instead, lol.  We all need a grill hero sometimes!

With their usual perfect timing, SU Only #201 has a masculine/Father's Day challenge for us this week - excellent!
For this one, I couldn't resist grabbing my Everyday Hero set off the shelf when I was working on yesterday's Retro Rubber card - another fun guy set that just didn't get enough catty-time, so far as I'm concerned, lol.  And I LOVE that this set has male AND female heroes, lol.  Today, though, it's all about the dude!  I wanted to take a few of our new colors out for a spin, too - surprisingly, Balmy Blue is growing on me, how about that! 
Yay, Daddy (that's a our daddy pep rally cry around here, lol), you're the best - always!

Super excited by another collection challenge at As You See It #177 - this one for the guys!
With the tree part of the collection, it just seemed natural to pull out our awesome new Rooted in Nature set, and some Wood Texture DSP to go with, lol.  I tried to sneak in the other elements, and play with shapes and layering a little.  Last of all, the UPS man came and brought my last order for me, which had my new Basics Adhesive Sequins - I thought these looked kind of Crumb Cake-y, so I added a few of those, too!  Woo hoo!

Stampin' Manly Moments

We're trying something a little new over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday today - just in time to kick off June, we're doing a little "man card" blog hop for you to enjoy!  I've repeated the links list below, so you can hop along and celebrate the guys with us!
For mine, I decided to show off an alternative card for the latest Paper Pumpkin kit - Manly Moments.  How could I not go for it with a title like that??  I ruthlessly scavenged some parts from the kit to make this new set of layers on my own card base, and used some of the leavings to create a stencil for my envelope front (even manly cards can't have naked envelopes, lol.)  I added some old Crumb Cake Taffeta Ribbon, and some old dark gray sequins to go with the touches of silver from the kit.  Pretty, but manly, too, lol.  The Pumpkin lives!  Now hop along to Sara for some more dude-ness!

Love the simple elegance of this layout from Case This Sketch #270!  I think it'll be great for In{k}spire Me #349's Mothers' or Fathers' Day challenge!
I decided to take on Father's Day for this one, and I wanted to try something punny that's been brewing in my mind for a bit, lol.  One of my fave sheets in the gorgeous Tutt-Frutti DSP pack is the rich and yummy papaya sheet - YUM!  And hey, "papaya" has "papa" in it, hmmm.  Thus this card was born.  Sorry, blame it on Dad Jokes!  Happy Father's Day, baby!

We have a lovely iconic sketch from In{k}spire Me #334 today!
I decided to yuk it up today, and Dad Jokes was just right for it, lol.  I can't decide which is funnier - the "cheesiness" of the jokes, or the fact that I've heard every single one of these from my own Dad.  Or that our daughter now gets to enjoy them from her own father (Love you, hungry!)  I tried to go with pizza colors, kinda, but in general, I kept it pretty low-key.  I think I pulled it off - this is not an image heavy set, as it rightly focuses on the corn-ball, lol...

Stamp Ink Paper #102's masculine challenge is perfect timing for Father's Day!  I bet I can make it manly with this layout from Freshly Made Sketch #291, too!
Today I settled on a little blend of old and new - my trusty Guy Greetings hasn't seen ink in a bit, and my new Tree Rings background stamp was giving me the hairy eyeball from my desk.  So it just had to be, lol!  I'm not sure that I've ever stamped this car from Guy Greetings, and while I initially planned to use the awesome truck from Country Livin', it was just too big.  But it turns out I love this car, too!  This will be a great Father's Day card for my Dad, and that's the greeting I put inside!  Note:  do I get strokes for refraining from adding sparkle or frippery?  I better!
Guy Greetings & Tree Rings Stamp Sets; Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip & Whisper White CS; Early Espresso, Cajun Craze & Crumb Cake Inks; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Blender Pen (on the Tree Rings); #SIP102; #FMS291.

At last!  I have a chance to play at What Would You Stamp #118 - Urban District!  Yay!!  I think I'll try it with this fun new sketch from Try Stampin' on Tuesday #324!
It was totally a natural fit to bring in my Urban Underground DSP to go with this card - which will be perfect for my own Dad, of course!  I love the patterns and embellies for this suite, but it's a pretty narrow color array!  It's hardly noticeable that I snuck in Smoky Slate, too, is it?  Still, I'm so sorry we didn't get to keep this suite in the new catty - between this and Nailed It, we finally had some solid "man-stamps!"
Urban District (retired) Stamp Set; Urban Underground DSP (retired); Delightful Dijon (retired), Smoky Slate & Very Vanilla CS; Basic Gray Ink; Layering Circles & Build It (retired) Framelits; Urban Embellishments (retired); #WWYS118; #TSOT324.

Here's a pretty bubbly sketch from In{k}spire Me #294!  I'm going to toss in this manly color challenge from Global Design Project #81, too!
Since I was already thing "manly" colors, I hit up my manly stamp sets, lol.  Nailed It rose to the top, yuck, yuck, and also gave me the chance to go rogue on the suggested shapes, one of my fave sketch things to do, right?  My layering is a little out of order, but I still had a blast coloring away, and then using the awesome framelits that go with this set.  I've also finally learned to not go crazy with the glue on the "ruler" diecuts, just dot it on the solid spots, since that die DOES actually cut all the way through for the markings, sigh.  That only took me three or four tries, lol.
