For Him

Today is the For Him release over at Taylored Expressions!! It’s a complimentary release to the previous For Her release in that it has masculine products to balance out the previous! That being said, I think that we can all agree both of these releases can be used for both genders to spread the joy of a handmade card!

Perfect example of this is this first card! I LOVE pens, markers, pencils–whatever. Always have–who knows why, but office supplies are enjoyable 😂! I digress– This is a fun card to use for Father’s Day nonetheless. And since I have a plethora of Sharpies in my collections, I figured it best to send what I love 😊! These are from the New First Draft Dies. The pocket is the new Pocketful die and the background is the New Wonky Grid Background Stamp using a bunch of TE Blues!

I love that pencil–The fact it is separate dies to be able to add the fun details! Love it! 🙂

Next up, I used the New Tools of the Trade along with the Pocketful to create another Dad’s Day card. This one also used the previously released Simple Strips – Man Myth Legend set.

I’m also loving the new Plaid Background. I stamped this with Brussels Sprout on Green Tea. I die cut the tools from TE Silver Cardstock which worked out perfectly!

I though it would be fun to score the backdrop and splatter the dickens out of it since this is how home improvement projects look–that and 15 trips to Home Depot 😂.

And last but not least, this fun one for anyone! This uses the new 5 O’Clock Somewhere Stamp & Stencil Combo and New Worth a Shot sentiment set. Super fun and the The Deco Gel 1.0 MilkyWay set works perfectly on the Black Licorice to create this fun night time celebration!

I white heat embossed these and then colored them in. Love the way the colors POP!

Today at Taylored Expressions, there is a new release For Him!! Sometimes we need to make all the Dude cards, right? I don’t know about you, but I like to keep things simple (shocking!) for the guys, and this release creates cards easily and awesomely for the guys.

First up, we have the new stencil set that you can create four cards with 1-2-3! I only have photos of three because there was a mishap and I was under the weather at the time :).

You create all four little panels at once using the layering stencils in the set, and then come back and add the details with the clear stamps in the set. The sentiments are all from the Mix & Match-For Him set, which is also new today. You really can Mix & Match these up because each stamp is separate–which is awesome for versatility in your stash.

For these panels I used Dijon, Avocado, Gumball, Blueberry and Blue Corn. I made another set using Sweet Potato, but I wasn’t loving it at the time. Eventually though, I will make those cards up. too. 🙂

I added some splatters to the panels before die cutting them out with the NEW STACKLETS! Yes! More new Stacklets! Hooray! I used the Circle Stacklets, Hexagon Stacklets, Circle Ridged Stacklets and Hexagon Ridged Stacklets. BIG FAN of the Ridged Stacklets. These are going to be used often to just add that detail without adding bulk. LOVE!

And check the new Insiders out–These are called The Insiders- For Him. I always forget to take a pic of the inside of the card when I actually put something inside! But this time, I remembered! 🙂

I used the Cloudy Days Masking Stencils that were released with the Here Comes the Sun Kit, but separately, so you can still order this gem!

And lastly, this card was created with the Through the Woods set. I can see using this set ALL year… winter trees!! Eeeep!

For these trees, I used Cilantro, Granny and Dijon. For the background, I used the Rectangle Masking Stencil with Gumball and Blueberry inks. I was going for a dark sky, but it almost looks wintery, doesn’t it? So cozy.

The sentiment I used is from the new Dude Sentiments set, which I am very glad to have. I sometimes need to make Thank You cards for guys and I thought this card would be perfect! I am glad I have this example to create more from.

OH and the CARDSTOCK! Can you see the fabulous cardstock panel behind there? This is the new Woodgrain Cardstock from TE. OOOOOOOhhhh I love it! I’m thinking I better buy another pack of each: Sugar Cube and Toffee so I have them on the ready. Big fan of adding that warm texture so easily.
