You're the Man Blog Hop

So glad you stopped by today it's the
"You're the Man Blog Hop"

 

if you stumbled here by chance you will want to start at the beginning of the hop

CARDZ TV

if you arrived from

Deanna's Papercrafts

you are in the right place

Mary has divided the Cardz TV Design Team
into a Saturday Team and a Sunday Team,

It's the weekend and we've work hard all week
so take a little "ME" time

grab your favorite beverage, sit back and relax,
and get ready for some fun, inspiration,

and the chance to win some blog candy along the way

 And don’t forget to come back tomorrow to Cardz TV for Day 2
with our Sunday team, for even more fun, inspiration
and another chance to win some great blog candy!

Here's what I made for today's blog hop using 
"You're the Man"
Cardz TV Stamps

now normally I don't enjoy making Masculine cards

because I can't add all the things I love like crinkle ribbon, bows and bling

but this card I had a blast with

I started with an a2 base pure poppy, then a mat of vintage cream

then true black. and kraft, photo finish strip die all from Papertrey Ink

to make the kraft look like peg board

I used my scal program and sure you could do this on your gypsy,
cricut craftroom or on you silhouette software

I am a made a little circle .25" and did a copy then auto fill

next I made a rectangle 5 x 3.75
and a moved it over the circles until all the edges were even

then I deleted all the circle outside of the rectangle
 love the way it came out

Next I cut out the tools from a file "Tools" from

My Scrap Chick

now to make the metal parts of the tools is really an easy process

ink them with versa mark then silver embossing powder
and heat emboss repeat that 3 times

Now for the sentiment &  faces (which is my favorite part)

I stamped the glasses and mustaches with memento tuxedo black ink

 cut them out by hand and added them to the tools with some google eyes

in the corners took some red brads and sanded them so the metal would show through
the inside

 

Now your next stop

This week's prize

Button Button who's got the Button

For the Fun Friday Bundle of Joy challenge click Here

 

May be showing my age a little not sure if anyone remembers that game

my brothers and I played it on our staircase when we were little

 

anyway

I was inspired by a post one of my best blogging buddies 

Carri at

DoubleClick AKA Abusybee

her post today was how she sorted her buttons

by color which is how I do mine

but I use Lock Up containers for storage

 

 

 

Love these containers the first few I got were a Joanns

which is a little bit of a drive for me

then I found more at Staples which is closer

and I know you can also get these on Amazon.com

the come in 1.5, 6, 8 and 12 oz sizes

 

what I like most about these if I need a button I can

get my finger in these to push the buttons around and get just the right one

without having to dump them on the table.

 

 

the 1.5 ounce size are perfect for brads and eyelets

 

 

and they look cute on my shelf

 

 

Have a great night everyone!

saw  a similar card on pinterest could quite find a blog

but it was by D. Daisy

and she has her card on Splitcoaststampers

I did change it slightly she had a much prettier embossing folder

so I just added some ribbon to the top

oh and could it be so...

it's not crinkle ribbon ha ha

just trying to get out of the box....

I used swiss dots and Fiskar apron border punch
