You're the Man

Yay! I can begin sharing my samples using the new You're the Man set from Practicing Creativity. I was so excited when Courtney asked if I'd work with the new set because I knew without even seeing it that it would be awesome. Her sets always have these great images in them that are multi-functional. And its a guy set.... I totally needed a set like this!!

You're the Man has these really cool solid and outline tire stamps in the set. I thought they made the coolest pattern though and used them to create the background in this feminine birthday card. I stamped them in alternating patterns to create the background. I embossed the sentiment in white EP on magenta cardstock. A bit of twine and button finish the card off.

For this next card I decided to create a "you're the MAN" card for my hubby. I stamped the bolt in Staz-on ink on shrink plastic and shrank it down. Because the bolt was a long image the shrink plastic wanted to twist and stick to itself when shrinking. I found that holding one end down while shrinking helped some. After it was finished and while it was still hot I pressed an acrylic block down on top of it to cool flatter. It still has a bit of a curve to it, but I figure that adds character, LOL! I stamped a sentiment on cardstock and hung it off the bolt to mimic a sign. The bolt stamped in light grey makes a great background.

I'll be back tomorrow with some more samples. In the meantime, be sure to stop by Courtney's blog and check out more sneak peek samples!
