Video Tutorial A Gentleman's Shirt



There are so many wonderful stamp sets, suites and accessories in the Occasions Catalog that I don't know where to start!  I'm always looking for products that are good for a male card, so I was drawn to the True Gentlemen's Suite.  On occasion, my husband wears a bow tie, so I was inspired by him.  
The coordinating punch makes a great bow tie - just punch out some designer series paper and cut it in half.  I used a piece of the corduroy ribbon for the center.  I added a button to the "shirt" to complete the look.  Click on the link to see just how easy it is! Bow Tie Tutorial

Waterfront

I love the stamp sets that create scenes.  As soon as I saw this stamp set, I fell in love with it.  It was designed by  Million Dollar Sales Achiever Connie Heisey.  There is so much you can do with it - so many different scenes you can create.  Mountain scenes, beach scenes, forest scenes....
Before I started Stamping, I took the Sponge Brayer with Soft Sky to create a nice sky on my background. 

Happy Creating!
