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?

Hey Handsome

Hi there, I'm Creating with Kara Davies, your Independent CTMH Consultant. Yesterday was my monthly crop, Craft Day. I chose to work on the Hey Handsome Cardmaking Kit. I got nearly everything cut while at Craft Day and finished all 16 cards later at home.

I brought snacks for the ladies that came along to craft with me. The new Bluey album Dance Mode had to make an appearance.

Design 1

Design 2

Design 3. I don't have sandpaper on hand so I used my keys and scissors to scuff up the cardstock to look more like denim. Use what you have!

Design 4

These glasses are so cute. I used a metallic marker to color them in for a pop of color.

The kit includes this exclusive stamp + thin cut set, gold glitter gems, 16 card bases and envelopes, cardstocks, papers, and printed full color instructions.

Check back later this week to see how I turned this masculine kit into a feminine one!

Current project underway...

The CTMH Logan Ladies and I held our monthly Craft Day yesterday as the Ipswich Papercraft Show has been postponed to September. I was hoping to have my National Scrapbooking Month goodies on hand and to make my samples yesterday. Those are in delivery land limbo (grr) so I dug through my stash to try out a new pattern. This is what I got up to!

Hubby and I have been doing online trivia for a little over a year and have amassed a playing group from Woodridge to Kingston to Kangaroo Point to Sarina to Adelaide! Eventually I'll have pictures from all of our different households plus the trivia host (Isolation Trivia - Livestreamed for Lockdown) to put on here.

To create this layout I used the following products. Click through to purchase! Sea Glass Toffee and White Daisy Exclusive Cardstocks, Skylark and Home Sweet Home Paper, In This Together Stickers, Stamping Starter Kit, Espresso Lagoon and Charcoal Exclusive Inks, In This Together and A Typeface Stampsets, Make It from Your Heart™ Volume 5, Trimmer VersaMat™ Non-stick Micro-tip Scissors and Adhesive Runner.
