Rustic Retreat Cabin in the Woods Birthday Card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

Welcome! Welcome! Happy November. We have a fun sketch challenge this week, starting a month of challenges of right! <<< Check it out

I so enjoy being a part of the Global Design Project design team, it’s awesome to have a new reason to stamp every week.

For my card I pulled out the Rustic Retreat stamp set to create a winter birthday card. The cabin is colored using Stampin’ Blends. I’m also participating in the 30 Day color challenge again and this is my project for Day 4. Trying to color something every day.

HELLO! Welcome to another Fancy Friday blog hop. This month’s hop is focusing on projects for the MEN in our lives. What stamp set would you pull out if you were making a card for a guy? Sometimes it can be tricky.

Today I am using the Rustic Retreat stamp set. It has a lot of great rustic images that might resonate with the type of guy who likes the outdoors, animals and earthy colors.

The card design was inspired by my coffee mug. I collect starbucks coffee mugs. I love the layout, colors and design of the new Utah mug. I decided to use the images in the set in a similar manner and create my own background. I made two very similar cards. I couldn't decide if I liked the card or not so I took another stab at it.

What do you think? Is one more successful than the other? I’m still on the fence. Sometimes I can really nail a good masculine card and other times … well, I’m sure you can relate. Lol.

Hop along with us. My fancy friends have lots of great masculine projects in store for you. Next up is my fancy and VERY talented friend Elizabeth. Thanks for stopping by!
