Coming Up With A More Masculine Colour Combination.

Well Hello, and Welcome to this weeks blog post.  Many of us struggle when it comes to cards for men. With the May release from concord and 9th last month, I fell in love with Sketched Dots Turnabout stamp. It has a contemporary feel to the design. In fact it is a great starting point to a more masculine card.

I had completely slowed down.  Enjoying the practice far more, not a expert but defiantly heading in the right direction. Products New Baby Stamp ( Colorado Craft...

BIG and BOLD Sentiments Make An Amazing Statement, using Concord & 9th Products

Well Hello & Welcome I am as you know or may not know a great lover, of the turnabout stamps by Concord and 9th. So always excited to see what they bring out next.

So over the last few weeks, I've looked at all my cards and placed them in different piles. Good and  Not so Good.( what is pleasing to the eye to me) This has helped me work out what my style is.
