Hello to each of you who have popped by today to see what I have been ‘up to’. Thank you for your interest – it is very much appreciated.
Today’s project is actually a day late. This was meant to be my project for this week’s Freshly Brewed Project blog hop, yesterday. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to print the photo I needed in time. My new Canon Selphy printer arrived Tuesday and it took me until Wednesday to get it connected and working.
This week’s theme was Creating with Kits. I had chosen the ‘For the Guys’ Card Kit for this blog challenge.
I started by making the cards using the two layouts.
The really great thing about this kit is the variety of greetings you can use for these cards.
After I made the cards and I needed to think about how to use this kit differently, I immediately thought of a holiday Rob and I enjoyed several years ago. After an amazing Alaskan cruise, we returned to Vancouver and drove to Kamloops and across into the Rockies before heading down to Calgary (before flying into Salt Lake City).
The mountains and lake card reminded me of the lakes we visited in the Rockies. So my alternative use for this part of the kit was to create a memory keeping page.
I have kept the layout very true to the original card and simply cut it down to fit into one of the 6″x 8″ pockets for the coordinating album. Then I used the same colours to create my journalling insert. The Playful Alphabet Dies were perfect to cut the title for this page. I used Adhesive Sheets to easily attach the letters to the cardstock.
After printing this photo, of Rob and I, it was adhered to a base layer of coordinating cardstock so that I could journal the date these photos were taken.
These are the stamps that are included in the kit. If you like the idea of creating cards for the men in your, make sure you contact me to find out how to order it (if you live in Australia, of course). This is really a truly versatile kit to make cards for ‘For the Guys’.
How many men are in your life that you could make different cards for?
Make sure you see what my lovely Freshly Brewed friends have been creating:
Happy stamping – using kits!
