It is so hard to make masculine birthday cards most of the time. And it is even harder to make masculine Valentine Cards. Most valentine cards are sort of “mushy” or at least that is guy speak for I don’t want any part of it!! LOL!!! Well, today I have a non-mushy valentine card. I hope you will think that it fits that description.
Geared Up Garage Bundle, 150610
Some guys may be thinking that the car jump starts their heart! I know there are some who really loves classic cars. Hopefully this will work for your guys as well.
This is also a very quick card, which makes it one of my favorite kind. All it took was some cutting, two stamps, and one crank of the Big Shot. Woohoo!!
The touch of red is a bid towards the female classic of black and white with a pop of color. I thought of that when I saw the black DSP from Classic Garage Designer Series Paper. The red is actually the reverse side. How convenient is that?
The sentiment is stamped and then die cut. The two pieces are created from one die. It embosses the little ends and cuts out the center all at once. I think it would be great to heat emboss the sentiment on a different color and then pop it into the center. But I wanted to keep things simple on this card.
Thank you so much for visiting today. I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s blog hop and today’s card. I will have another project for you tomorrow, so please come back. And as always, all of the supplies are listed at the bottom of the post.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s January Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word – and this month our projects are centered around LOVE. You’re certain to see some amazing ideas for Valentine’s Day in the hop, but there are other ways to honor love in the lineup, too. What fun! We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
My card definitely follows the “LOVE” theme. Just not in the way you would expect maybe. I adore all , well almost all, animals. Especially dogs and cats. So when looking through stamps for this Love project, I couldn’t help but give Happy Tails and Nine Lives a second look. Since I couldn’t decide on one of the sets……….I chose to use both of them…….together!! What better kind of LOVE!!
Happy Tails Bundle, 150631
I tried to not get too fancy with the colors of the animals. That can be a bit tricky sometimes. I went with Crumb Cake and Soft Suede, which pairs beautifully with the Flirty Flamingo. The Wood Textures DSP was a great find, which led to the stitched heart “cut out” of the fence behind them. I do love the Be Mine Framelits and the fact that some do not cut out pieces but embellish them.
The sentiment is from the Nine Lives stamp set and is so true!! In case you were not aware, the Nine Lives stamp set pairs with our Cat Punch from the Annual Catalog. And isn’t it perfect that Stampin’ Up! designed the two so they face each other? A match made in heaven, at least to me.
As always, I have all of the supplies listed at the bottom of the post. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. I would love to hear from you.

I created this card for a friend who recently lost a loved one. As hard as these type cards are to make, I thought this sketch is perfect for a Mother/Daughter, or two friends, for a variety of occasions. It just so happens that it fit perfectly with the Global Design Project 174 sketch challenge. That never happens for me!
Artfully Aware, 149447
Here is the sketch that my card just happened to fit. We are given a bit of leniency on it matching the sketch exactly.
The technique I used is a fairly old one that is super fun. I took the negative from a die cut oval and taped it to my card with removable tape. You can also use sticky notes to hold it in place. Then all you do is sponge inside of the cut out. I added a little bit more in some places. If you want a very smooth layer, try using the sponge brayer with repeated passes. I just used one of the stampin’ sponges that is cut into pieces. I hope you will try this technique. Any die cut or punched shape is free game for this technique.
Thank you for visiting today! Please come back tomorrow for another InKing Royalty Blog Hop. There will be a lot of great projects for you to hop through.

I am playing along with CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge #306 today. Brian King was who inspired this sketch. Of course, I had to give it a try. My first thought after seeing the sketch was that the Frogs would be perfect. Here is my card.
Part of My Story, 149719
Here is the sketch I am CASEing:
As I said above, I decided on the frog from Hoppy Together, A SAB stamp set, right away, and then the Lemon Lime Gingham was a perfect match. But I could not find the sentiment that seemed to be “Just Right”. Then I ran across the Part of My Story stamp set, another SAB item, and new I had found the correct sentiment. “I’m So Glad You Are a Part of My Story” is one that I loved the minute I saw it. It makes me think of dear friends, loved ones, and especially the friends and family we can just be our super silly self with. The perfect pairing for the crazy frog!!
Other than finding the perfect match, the card was super quick and easy. I stamped in Tuxedo Black and colored the frog with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. I love that you can see a touch of the Gingham check through the coloring. It adds a bit of dimension to his body.
Thank you for visiting today! I hope you will return tomorrow for a another new project. All of the supplies are listed at the bottom of the post.

I have pulled out one of the cutest and memory filled stamped set in the Occasions Catalog for today’s project. At least it brings back memories to me. I am a big reader, and I was even as a young child. Apparently as soon as I learned to read I was hooked. Have you guessed which stamp set it is? It could just be me, but the Fable Friends set reminds me of the Fables I read as a child. So of course I could not wait to play with these cuties.
Fable Friends, 148670
The duck is closer to the fables I read, but I could not resist this little squirrel. It looks like he is bringing a flower to a friend and is all dressed up to do it. How sweet is that?
This layout is a great way to use leftover designer paper scraps. I played around with the way to lay them out. I began with large , medium, small moving to the right. That just didn’t do it for me. So I tried this and loved it. Your pieces could easily be all the same size or as I did. I hope you will give it a try.
Thank you for visiting today! I hope you will return on Monday for a new project. Hopefully your weekend will be a good one.

When I made the Rooster card earlier in the week, I stamped the rooster twice, of course, to try coloring him a bit differently. He didn’t end up too different from the earlier one however. But the card layout is a bit different. Here is the second Rooster card.
Home To Roost, 149736
I still used the Poppy Parade for the cone and beard. And that led to the Poppy Parade Frame. Since the Mossy Meadow is quite darker, I decided to use the Poppy Parade as the ink on the sentiment. One thing just led to another!
Speaking of the sentiment, it is from the P.S. You’re The Best stamp set. It is a great little set with the typewriter. It has cute little sentiments, and wonderful little background stamps for subtle additions to cards.
In case you missed Monday’s Rooster, you can see him HERE
Today’s little guy is not as bright as the first Rooster. I still used the Bermuda Bay. I loved the color and richness it gives to his main body feathers. I am not sure how well you can see in the photo, but I carried the Smoky Slate out onto the tail feathers as well as the wing. It looks good up close. You will just have to trust me. LOL!
I was so thrilled when the Tin Tile Dynamic Embossing Folder carried over from the Holiday Catalog. I hope you didn’t miss that. It is listed on the inside of the back page of the Occasions Catalog as one of the main carry overs. WOOHOO!! I love the depth of the embossing, but a tin tile goes perfectly with the country feel of the rooster.
