Hey Handsome - part 2

I'm back with some more tweaks to the Hey Handsome Cardmaking Kit I featured on my previous post.

I used the kit instructions, with some different stamps, thin cuts, and changed the papers for other ones in my stash. Here's what I came up with!

I thought these glasses reminded me of Dame Edna (RIP Barry Humphries) and I wanted to do a Mrs Doubtfire-esque design reminiscent of a floral nana blouse, lace, and pearl buttons.

I went for a more subdued look with this sympathy card. The little chevron stitching stamp makes it really look like a pocket.

This one gives me Quirky Nurse vibes, I think it's due to the collar color I used. The heart is a little too small to be a pocket by itself, I used it anyways!

This one, be still my crafty heart. I adore how this turned out! It's so cheery and blokey!

This one was a test run for a split collar look. More tweaking to come.

Which of these variations is your favorite? It's a tie between Mrs Doubtfire and Leafy Blokey Birthday for me. Such a simple switch to create an entirely different look, with using other papers. Will you give this kit a go?

Products used, click through to purchase: Hey Handsome Cardmaking Kit, Trimmer, Diecut Machine, Scissors, Stamping Starter Kit, Harbour Pine Paprika Charcoal Ballerina and Toffee Exclusive Inks, Lace Border and Stitched Heart Thin Cuts, Adhesive Runner, Foam Tape, Glue Pen, Tweezers, Versamat, Navy and Black LePens™, Clear Sparkles, Blue Belle Glitter Gems, Blue and Black & White Dots, Silver Foil Patterns and Eat Play Love Paper Packets.
