What's New

Tree Of Life

Tree of Life Add-on: spring

Tree of Life Sweet Cuts

Tree of Life Add-on: spring Sweet Cuts 

Today I have a couple of masculine projects to share with you using these new sets along with some existing Paper Sweeties products....so let's get started.

My first card is to welcome a baby boy.  I kept this one fairly clean and simple.  I used the tree die and the sweet bird nest stamp and die to create my focal point. I am so in love with this sweet little nest with it's baby egg! It is so adorable!  I felt that it would look wonderful as the focal point for this baby boy card. What do you think?  I loved the way it looked and decided not to add leaves to the tree this time....it keeps all the focus on that sweet baby egg!

 Along with the new stamp sets and dies I also used the "Bouncing Baby" stamp set for the sentiment.  I added some Copic coloring to the sentiment to tie in the blue circle background.  And I thought the whole card was set off nicely with some lovely gray gingham paper for the background.

Next I wanted to showcase the tree with its leaves and created a masculine "Thank You" note:

I used lots of texture on this card with some corrugated card stock and an embossed scalloped panel.  I stamped the tree onto an oval die cut and then stamped the leaves in olive and added the twine bow.  I love how easily these trees come together! The sentiment is from the "Hello Friend" stamp set.

There is lots of inspiration to see again today! Here is the link list:
