Stampin' Royalty Challenge #24

The challenge this week over at Stampin' Royalty is a masculine project. I don't know about you but I always have a hard time creating a masculine card but thank goodness this challenge came along so that I can make a card for my dad and father-in-law.

Make sure to check out Sandra Farrell's (one of our fabulous design team members) Stampin' Royalty project for this week.

I used one of the sketches from the Mojo Monday's challenges as a base.

I'm actually using a card stock that will be available in the new 2010-2011 Stampin' Up! catalog. As a demonstrator we receive the 2010-2011 catalog along with our pre-order this month so I figured -- let's play with my new products. I love receiving new products from Stampin' Up. It always feel like a birthday day.

The new card stocks that I had used for this project are Early Espresso and Crumb Cake. I'm usually not into neutrals but I just had to use Early Espresso because I'm loving the rich dark brown colour.

The Designer Series Paper is Sweet Pea but unfortunately, this DSP is now retired, but is still available to purchase if you have My Digital Studio.



Since I didn't use any stamp sets other than the Teeny Tiny Wishes for the sentiment I put the 4 colours on the inside of the card instead of a stamp.

Make sure to check out Sandra Farrell's (one of our fabulous design team members) Stampin' Royalty project for this week.

I created this favour box last week and I thought okay, now let's make it even more girly for my fave girl...Caitlin.
This is my Jazzed Up project. Now I can put a mini cupcake in the box.

....and this is the back. I had a lot of fun creating this...now I just have to make 59 more. I'll have to precut, pre-emboss, pre-stamp everything before we leave on July 8th. Wish me luck.
