Masculine Hello and Thank You Card using the Ranger Letter It Line

Masculine Card by Jess Crafts using Ranger Letter It Line

Hello crafty friends! Today I have a post for you in collaboration with the Ranger Ink Letter It line and Scrapbook.com. I am using the Letter It line from Ranger to create two simple masculine cards. I used the large star die from Scrapbookdotcom to stamp a mask and then used the small stamps from the Letter It Collection to create a background. For a full tutorial of how I created these cards check out my video below:



I love how elegant and perfectly coordinated the colors in this collection are. The inks and stamps are give gorgeous impressions. There is no need to use a stamping tool to get a perfect image although for positioning reasons I used it for the large sentiment.

Hello crafty friends! Today I have another 6x6 Paper Pad tutorial featuring Doodlebug.

I think their designs are adorable and I can easily whip up a bunch of cards for card drives like Cards for Hospitalized Kids. If you want more info on donating card please check out my Card Drive Resources page. So today I'm using Doodlebug Milk and Cookies 6x6 pad while making 20 cards!

To see it all in action check out the video.
