Remainder of Masculine Cards from October SAS

Two of the samples of the cards I made for my October Stamp-A-Stack.  The cards were supposed to all be masculine.  I chose that because masculine cards are usually very hard for me to make because my thoughts usually are of much more pastel or brighter colors and usually something floral, lots of scallops, flowers etc.  So after coming up for the designs for this months SAS, I feel more confident that male cards won't be much of a problem in the future.  Here are the links to the other 2 cards:  Lovely As a Tree Masculine Card and Skateboard Dude

Simple Christmas card inspired by the CAS (Clean and Simple) challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com.  Check out the gallery for the CAS89 challenge cards.  The design is one layer and features stamps from Stampin' Up!.  They are from the Loads of Love set  and the Loads of Love Accessories set.  The tree was stamped with Old Olive Classic ink and the gifts were stamped with black StazOn and colored with the watercolor pencils.  The Merry Christmas was stamped with Real Red Classic Stampin ink.  I stamped the images first and then used my ruler and my red watercolor pencil to draw the lines.  Glitter glue was used on the packages and the tree.

October Stamp-A-Stack Event

Cards for men in your life is the theme for my October Stamp-a-Stack.  I'm looking forward to the challenge of making cards with a masculine theme.  It usually so easy for me to make feminine cards because those colors and flowers come to mind easier so I really have to stretch my mind for cards for the guys in my life.  So since it is football season and the guys are busy watching games on Sundays, I've invited the ladies to come make cards for the afternoon.  This card is a sample of what I plan to do with the SU Extreme Skater image.
