Men's Card "Cross my heart and hope to FLY"

This card was made at our Stamp Club meet up this month. I love our little get togethers as they are fun, idea sharing & every month one of us gets the freebies as a host. This month was Kaszazz month, so I get to show the group something new, get their imaginations flowing, etc. I do the demonstrating for the Kaszazz month & a friend of mine does Stampin' Up! the alternative month. This way, we get a great cross section of stamps, colours, dies, embossing... the list goes on & on.
Anyway, back to the card at hand. A quick run down on what I came up with, Apart from being all Kaszazz products.... lol. The papers.... I used one of the designer series 12x12 sheets (Funky Forest 2941 Lagoon Flourish Stripes) for the background colour of the car (page 64, Retro Car 4494J of the main catalogue) stamped & fussy cut around the car, all stamping was done with "Memento" black ink pad as well as the sentiment which is from the newest catalogue. I used the "Tags #3" (2915) for the label (black card stock), I "stamp dyed" the wide striped navy & white ribbon plus a tied checkered black & white thinner ribbon on the tag, vanilla card stock & a fine nibbed art pen for the roughly drawn lines around the outer edge. I enjoy coming up with "male themed cards" it's a good challenge if you get bored with the flowers & lace of female cards. Let's face it, if you make cards a lot.... then you most probably have tons on female cards.... more than you have to give to friends & family for a lifetime...lol
Talking of "Challenges", I have decided to enter this one into "The Stamp Spot" Blog Challenge the month of April, as it is "Masculine Cards and Paper craft projects".

The Stamps used for these 2 cards are from the latest small Kaszazz catalogue, as are the papers. We did these at our monthly Stamp Club meet up. I hope you like them, if there are any questions regarding any of the products I used, please do not hesitate in getting in contact with me... I am more that happy to assist where possible.


The Black Frame is actually a bird cage die (5323) & I have cut out the bars & the top pointy part that Kaszazz has in their main catalogue, page 222. I know for a fact that this die & others through Kaszazz will fit the Big Shot machine. The "Easy Press" which is the one Kaszazz has one feature that the Big Shot doesn't... it will take an A4 size page, where the Big Shot is limited in that area. Now don't get me wrong.... I have both & I love both as they have their own little extras that I can not go without... lol
