Masculine Birthday - Whiskey Business

I CASEd this card directly from the Stampin' Up! catalog. I used the Whiskey Business stamp set. I had to improvise because I didn't have exactly what was in the picture. As you can see I circled the picture in the book because I wanted to recreate it. 

I made this for my honey for his birthday. Ironically, he often drinks Old Fashions when we go out to dinner.

Stamp Set: Whiskey Business

Paper: Early Espresso Card Stock, Early Espresso DSP (retired), Very Vanilla Card Stock, Crumb Cake Card Stock

Ink: Momento

Embellishments: Twine

Tools: Label Punch (I can't remember the name of the exact punch because it too is retired.)

 

Happy Valentine's Day

Just a little something I CASEd for Valentine's Day. Nothing big. I went online and searched for male or masculine Valentine's Cards and this is what I liked.

 

Tangible Events DMV

So this weekend, I participated in a Paint and Sip event with Tangible Events DMV, a black owned event. It was a live stream event. The artist, Vanessa, gave us step-by-step directions for creating our masterpieces. Her directions were very easy to follow.

Here is an example of the Tangible Box. I got so excited after opening my box, I began pulling everything out and forgot to take a picture.  In my box, there were 2 easels, 2 canvases, 2 packs of brushes, candy, paint, rosé, rum, vodka, and wine. Your box depended on which package you ordered. It had everything we needed to sip a little bit and a paint a lotta bit. 

Here is the picture I painted. I added 2 extra hearts, just because I'm extra like that.

Finally, I was asked to take their logo and create two shirts for the host and his amazing wife. This is a picture of her shirt. Her shirt was silver glitter, while his was white with his name on the back.

I had so much fun painting with Tangible Events. I can't wait until the next event!

Black Lives Matter

Customer requested this design on a T-Shirt.

I Can't Breathe... Again

Unfortunately, there has been another police killing of an unarmed man by choking. George Floyd gasped for air as he tried to tell the officer that he couldn't breathe. The officer had his knee on Floyd's neck as Floyd was face down and handcuffed. Many people have been seen wearing these shirts and because people know that I make shirts, the orders have begun to pour in.

25% of all orders will be donated to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
