Yay! New month, time for a new NBUS #62! SO many new goodies to play with! I've actually had a few stamp sets sitting on my desk for a bit, waiting for some ink! The Textured Timber set from our Online Exclusives looked so cool - and then I didn't use it, lol. Well, today's the day! I did one long plank along one side, and then smudged it a bit with a Blender Pen! I also snuck in the very cool Beside Me set - this one has actually been around a while, but it took me a while to come around to it, but it DOES make for great guy cards! I had fun coloring this seaside duo, and figuring out a layout that would fit everything in! Good times! Beside Me & Textured Timber Stamp Sets; Basic White, Early Espresso & Crumb Cake CS; Early Espresso Ink; SU900, Misty Moonlight, Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight & Balmy Blue Blends Markers; Blender Pen; Nested Essentials & Stylish Shapes Dies; Linen Thread; Rustic Metallic Dots; #NBUS62.

Wow, check out our cool tropical colors this round at Sunday Stamps #333! I was so excited to realized that our colors this week seemed to go perfectly with the new Adventurous Sky suite! his upcoming beauty features beautiful bi-wing planes and aerial designs, along with some super cute fonted sentiments! I'm naming my card today after the DSP, because this is ALL about the papers, plus that fun Father's Day sentiment! Two of the sheets have several ready to mount designs and tags, all you have to do is cut them apart! So fun and quick! I can't wait to see what YOU make out of all our blues this round - meet you at the challenge! Adventurous Sky Stamp Set; Take to the Sky DSP; Basic White & Night of Navy CS; Night of Navy Ink; Stylish Shapes Dies; Night of Navy Enamel Dots; Balmy Blue Twine; #SSC333. Oh gosh, this round's Shopping Our Stash #501 is "no stamping allowed!" I have mixed feelings about this, lol. We have so many amazing stamps! As usual though, I've bounced back pretty easily, lol, because I remembered all these die cut pieces I still have in my retired He's the Man DSP. I was able to put together this whole card front without a single stamp! I had to be really careful to not pile on too much stuff, in fact, lol, I have a TON of tiny little bits and bobs from that die sheet - I limited myself to this trio of coordinating stars! I did stamp INSIDE the card, but I don't think that should count! He's All That Stamp Set (inside card); He's The Man DSP (retired); Basic White, Early Espresso & Crumb Cake CS; Early Espresso Ink; All That Dies; #SOS501. Pumpkin Club July 29!

I actually have most of my new man sets out in a Man Card class right now, so I went to the shelves, and pulled my still current He's All That set - great dies go with this one, and I still have a bit of the awesome coordinating He's The Man DSP, too! I pulled out the barbecue sheet - in our house, hubby rules the grill, lol, and I even found a DSP diecut of this little flaming grill, not that our ever has flares like that, lol. So fun! I had some old Cajun Craze Linen Thread in a drawer that went perfectly, AND I even pulled out the stops and added some grill tools I made with our old Apron Builder Dies from 2019! These sets were made for each other! I put a quick Happy Dad Day inside from last year's Happy & Heartfelt, too!

We're gonna pile it on at Cardz 4 Guyz #323's "lots of layers" challenge this round - more than 3! Well, with a tiny bit of effort, I managed FIVE layers for mine, lol. The very manly Ready To Ride DSP was perfect for it, too - I chose an all-over background pattern first, and layered on black, then did a second design, also layered on black, over that! This little map on the collection sheet of smaller contained designs is perfect for featuring over my highway signs! Then I had one last layer to pop up - the smallest motorcycle, complete with flames, lol, and the sentiment! I cut that out with our new Nested Essentials dies - and the piercings around the edge made it super easy to cut the shape down slightly to fit better! I think my Dad will like this one - I know he misses his old motorcycle a lot!

I did some picking through the list and ultimately landed on the retired Hats Off bundle for this one - what a journey, lol. I pulled out my retired Well Suited DSP to get started, figuring it would have a likely blue plaid I could lean on! From there I checked over my man sets, and kept returning to my Hat Builder dies - so fun! I made it a fishing hat, so I could add another inspo item, too! So I think I have blue, masculine, plaid, fishing and die cuts - and I'm really happy with how my hat came out!

This seemed like the perfect chance to break in our new Gone Fishing suite - SO many cool new man toys, lol! The stamp set itself is fascinating, with fish and lure themes, along with great manly greetings. The die site is over the TOP! I could make a whole tackle box with it, lol, and likely will soon! And I can't get over the gorgeous DSP - I featured three different sheets today! That background sheet of flies is perfectly non-directional, and I added some "water" paper for all my fishies - which were cut from another DSP sheet! Love them so much! Some of the dies even cut these fish, too, of course! Hope fish count as animals, lol... Gone Fishing Stamp Set; Let's Go Fishing DSP; Very Vanilla & Pebbled Path CS; Pebbled Path Ink; Stitched Shapes Dies (retired); Rustic Metallic Dots; #TMR174. Ah, a great challenge this round at Cardz 4 Guyz#320 - embossing, wet or dry! I definitely have to turn to my Legendary Ride suite for this one - I can't get enough of the Metal Plate EF! I have another of the illustrations from the collection sheet of DSP, too - check out this spiffy motorcycle rider! He's all business, lol. I floated him over an embossed sheet of Galvanized Metallic CS, and added my sentiment on a large circle. At the last second, I colored in the headlight of the motorcycle with a Pumpkin Pie Blends Marker, too, a fun highlight! I even used a few of the "bar" style embellishments, I've been stewing over how to work these in for a WHILE!

Very nice - Cardz 4 Guyz #298 has a Father's Day challenge for us this week - good timing! Today is the day I get to break in the new Brewed For You stamp set - I got this bundle from my downline Barb, who accidentally ordered more than one - I have SO been there! Turns out, this is a really fun set - wait'll you see the dies! (Next time!) For today, I did a stamped background using the pub glasses - I added some foam to each, plus the beer, of course, lol. I finished with a detail strip of the He's the Man DSP and this sentiment from our departing Happy & Heartfelt set. I love it when it all comes together! Brewed For You & Happy & Heartfelt Stamp Sets; He's the man DSP; Sahara Sand, Crushed Curry & Basic White CS; Early Espresso & Crushed Curry Inks; Ornate Frames Dies (retired); Rustic Metallic Dots; #C4G298. Oh gosh, there's 5the cutest inspiration pic for this week's Cupcake Inspiration #520's Father's Day theme! Love that 'stache! Now, it just so happens that my Da has a mustache like this, and so even though we're not supposed to take our inspiration cupcake TOO seriously, I couldn't resist bringing on the handlebars, lol. I still have my old Mustache die from 2014, and I combined it with the strongman from Guy Greetings (2018!) for my envelope, along with this cute sentiment from the current Ride the Range set - seemed apropos! I went ahead and put a Father's Day greeting inside from Guy Greetings while I had it out, too. Can't wait to send this one to Da! Ride the Range & Guy Greetings (retired 2018) Stamp Sets; Basic White & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Mustache Die (retired 2014); Black Sequins; #CI520.
