Guy Greetings for CCMC340

It's Thursday and time for a challenge from Create with Connie and Mary.  This week is a color challenge using Basic Gray, Lost Lagoon, and Sahara Sand.



These colors are perfect for a masculine card, so I pulled out the new set Guy Greetings and made a birthday card for my Father-in-Law.



This was such a fun card to create, I used one of the stamps from Best Year Ever to make a really fun sentiment.



I stamped the "Best.Day.Ever." sentiment on Very Vanilla then die cut it with a Banner Framelit.  Next, I stamped "Father" from Guy Greetings with Basic Gray on Lost Lagoon and die cut it with a banner from the Circle Flip Card Thinlet set.  It fit perfect over "Day." and made a new sentiment!



The card came together quickly once the sentiment was taken care of.  I used a Sahara Sand card base with a layer of Basic Gray then a layer of designer paper from the Adventure Bound paper stack.  I stamped "Hats off to you" along the bottom of the designer paper then adhered the banner above.  And since my Father-in-Law wears lots of hats, I stamped a couple with Basic Gray to fussy cut and add to the card.  I think this will be the perfect birthday card for him!!

Now it's your turn to stamp!  Why not join the challenge this week??  Just go to Create with Connie and Mary for all the details plus more great samples from the Design Team.

Love your card, Nicole! Substituting day for father is so clever. Great way to combine both sets and I love the addition of the little hat. It is just the right accent.

Love this card...very manly! And another great idea for the vintage man set! Think I'll make a set of these for father, husband, brother. Love the DSP!

How clever are you to combine the two sets to make this personalized card for your father-in-law! How you created the banner and added the hats are such great touches to make this card for him! Love that DSP with it too!
