Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop-Guy Greetings

Hello! Welcome back to another Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Blog hop! Join us each week as artisans from around the world share our ideas using Stampin' Up! products with you!

This week we are featuring the Guy Greetings stamp set. This has been a fun set to play with. A few of the ADT members used it to create samples for the Leadership 2015 sample boards. You can view some of my past creations with this set {here}. I was amazed at some of the fun samples the other members created, and I can't see what they came up with using the set this week! Check out my creation:

Supplies used for project: Guy Greetings stamp set;  Lost Lagoon and Versamark ink pads; Sahra Sand cardstock, Watercolor Paper, and Moonlight DSP stack; Basic Black embossing powder; heat tool; black thread and needle.

Though I wouldn't typically think of purple as being a very manly color, I think the touch of Blackberry Bliss on this card is just the pop it needs yet it is still masculine! Plus, I just can't get enough of the Moonlight DSP, which is STILL ON SALE for 50% off! Grab your DSP stack before they are all gone! Speaking of which, you have one week left to win this fabulous DSP stack along with the Birthday Surprise stamp set and some fun pocket page scrapbook cards (created by me)! Check out the deets on how to enter {here}.

Hope you are enjoying the ideas so far, let's continue the inspiration by hopping over to Cindy's blog and see what amazing ideas she has to share!

Leadership Samples-Guy Greetings

The North American team members of the 2014-2015 Stampin' UP Global Artisan Design Team will be sharing some samples that we were asked to make for the Challenge Boards at Leadership in Orlando, so be sure to go to their sites (listed below) and check out their creations!

For this challenge, I was to create with the Guy Greetings stamp set. . . and I tell you, it was a challenge for me! I don't often create masculine cards, but I was excited to stretch my limits and participate in this challenge! When I am struggling creatively, I like to find inspiration somewhere to help me get started. In this case, I was totally inspired by the layout on this card that the amazingly talented Cathy Caines created! It definitely helped me get going with this set! Thanks Cathy! Here's what I created:

Though this set can be used for many guys, I choose to focus on my dad since Father's Day will sneak up on me before I know it! This way, I will already have some ideas handy! Hope you are inspired to create something for all those amazing guys in your life!!!
