Open Seas Thank You Card

I must confess when I first saw the Open Seas stamp set in the Summer Mini it did nothing for me.  After receiving a lot of swap cards showing how many different ways it can be used...I caved. I do have to say, it is going to be a great set for scrapbooking more masculine pages and ones from the Alaskan cruise!

Lots of distressing on this card - the edges were inked with crumb cake and then distressed with the distressing tool on the cutter kit!

Five Minute Friday: Motorcycle Father's Day Card

Here's a card for pretty much any masculine occasion, but someone in our house is getting it for Father's Day!  (Shhh....)  I think I posted it a month ago - but it's a great quick card for this Father's Day weekend! In real life this card has lots of metallic accents going on with Silver Paper, Silver Smooch Spritz and Silver Embosssing!  I can't seem to get enough of this motorcycle - it is really perfect for masculine cards and I love how the details on the stamp pop with the heat embossing. 

Tips and Tricks for this Card

• It uses a Z fold, where you fold it in half, and then take the panel on the left and fold it at the midway point to create a "Z".  So score at 5.5, and then score on the left hand side at 2.25 - super easy and looks way fancier than it actually is.
• The entire card base was sprayed with Silver Foil Smooch Spritz which I sponged to even out
• The panel on the front uses Silver Metallic Specialty paper to make it pop
• The motorcycle is stamped in Versamark and then heat embossed using Silver embossing powder
• A silver circle brad is placed in the upper left to set things off
