Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop…Masculine May

Welcome to the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop!  This month our theme is Masculine May.   Before I show you the card I made I want to welcome Sandi Maciver!  She is the newest member of the Stamper's Dozeb Blog Hop.  Unfortunately that means we are saying goodbye to Josee!    We will miss you!

My card is a mix of retiring, current and sneak peek products.  May is always a little crazy that way.

New Products:  I used a new stamp set called Swirly Bird to stamp the cute sailboat.   The Swirly Bird stamp set has a coordinating framelit called Swirly Scribbles Thinlits and they will be available as a bundle in the new catalog.  I used the thinlits to cut out the sun and the "waves".  

Current Products:  I used the banner die from the Large Number Framelits.  The inside sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and it  will also be in the new catalog.  I used Bermuda Bay, Pool Party , Crushed Curry(sun), Daffodil Delight and Whisper White card stock.  The ink colors I used, Bermuda Bay, Pool Party, Old Olive, Real Red.

Retiring Products: I am sad to see the Shine On Specialty DSP is retiring.  I love those silver clouds and I was pleased to find the wavy Bermuda Bay design on the back of the sheet that has the silver raindrops.  The sentiment "world's best dad" is from the Going Global stamp set that is also retiring.

I will be posting a tutorial next week on how to make this card fold.  It is very easy and a lot of fun to make.  Now it is time for you to go and see what France Martin has in store for you.  She always has something fun to share!

Remember you can also go the other direction and see what the creative BJ Peters has stamped up for you!
