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 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!
