For today’s Feminine card I wanted to create a cards using “Thinking of you” as a sentiment and products that would stretch to both of projects. For both cards I used Embossing folders, washi tape, my circle cutter and papers from My Minds Eye.

Hi all,
I’m so excited to have started another Online Card Class. This time around I am a participating in a class called His & Hers. Generally speaking, I feel that masculine cards are one of the most difficult types of cards to make. Most vendors/suppliers sell products that are totally geared towards feminine interests. I think this class will provide some great insight on creating complementary cards as well as bring my attention to products that can be multi-functional in a masculine card.
For Day 1 we are focusing what types of materials/colors we feel are masculine vs feminine. We were asked to fill out a little chart and share what we felt were feminine vs. masculine themes. I took it one step further by adding punching out some tags using scrap material of patterns and colors I thought represented each individual category.

Hi All,
For today’s card I wanted to play with a newer supply in my arsenol. For this project I wanted to use my new Derwent Inktense pencils. These pencils are fantastic! They act like watercolor in that they can be blended and intensified depending on how much ink you layer, but the colors are truly bright and bold as the name suggests. I love using a water brush directly onto the tip of the pencil to gain control of the color and then use it on my project. Another way to use the pencils is to color your project directly, and then use a brush to blend out.
Here is the finished product:
Supplies:
Card Base: Hero Hues Notecard
Paper: Neenah Environmental Cardstock Desert Storm
Stamp: Ditto – Double Vision and Hero Arts Sentiments
Inks: Derwent Inktense pencils
Hi all,
How about something a little different than a card today? For today’s project I’d like to show you a variation on a card…it’s a birthday box! This box in particular was made with a recipient in mind. A friend had asked that I create a box that could contain a small birthday gift and a birthday message. I asked what type of color scheme the recipient would like and was given this color scheme. This box is 100% handmade and then decorated using my stash of all things crafty. The papers are from a DCWV 8×8 paper pack. The flowers and embellishments are just a variety of products from K & Co., Prima, and Basic Grey.
Here is the exterior of the box. It measures approximately 5″L x 5″ Wx 4″H. Although it looks like an ordinary box, the sides have been removed. Once the lid is removed from the box, the four walls collapse and create a bit of a surprise!
Close up of the lid embellishments created with Basic Grey chipboard stickers, Prima flowers and a metallic button brad. VERY dimensional =)
And here is the inside of the box. Once the lid is removed, the four walls collapse and create this visual. Super fun, elegant and colorful.
