Hello! First off, I want to wish everyone a Happy Mother's Day! I am glad that my May card kit samples are ready to show. The theme for this month is For the Boys! This is always by far the hardest month to come up with good ideas for. I think it does not seem as daunting when I need a card for a man because usually I know him and can base the card on what he like's or if he is a serious person or likes cuter cards, etc. But, when I make the samples, I need to have them be a little more generic which makes it lot more difficult. But, I love how they came out and I hope you do too! There is only one in the set that mentions "dad" but I did find some Happy Father's Day sentiment stamps so if you need me to add something, don't hesitate to ask. Also, if one just dosen't work for you, I will always try to accommodate substitutions. Okay, let's get to it ... enjoy!
First up, is a birthday card and it uses some dies that I have used quite often but I am pretty sure I never have made it a card for the kits until now ...
And when the tab is pulled at the top ...
Next one is stamps and papers I got at scrapbook convention last year. I have used a similar stamp on a guy card before but I also think it would be a good one for a younger guy too...
The inside of this one I left blank, so it could be for a few occasions.
Okay, I have used this set of stamps before of the tools, and this one has that sentiment with "dad" but I don't think it needs to be your dad, but could be for anyone that is a dad, but it does not work for you, I can type something up on the computer as a substitute. The inside sentiment is computer generated, but too fun!
I think I used the stamp on the next one on a retirement card a few years ago, but perfect for a guy card too!
I love this next one. There are so many cute gnome stamps, but this set will always be a favorite of mine. I know it is older because the dies are not open in the middle. I don't think I have ever used it on a kit card, so it is time! He makes me smile!
And last but not least, my bonus card ...
That wraps up the For the Boys kit! If you are interested, please let me know right away, as I will start cutting paper tomorrow!
Happy Stamping!
Tina
