You're The Man Blog Hop

Welcome to our Cardz TV Stamps You're the Man Blog Hop.  If you just happened along to my blog today, you haven't missed too much.  I'm the second stop on our first day of the hop (Saturday, April 27th).  To start at the beginning with Mary's post go here.  I'll have the whole Blog Hop lineup at the end of this post.  Today's Hop is featuring Mary's You're the Man stamp set.

If you came by last week you might have seen my female version of this card, if not click here.  This is one of my favorite stamp sets that Mary has come out with.  I love the glasses and the mustache stamps on it, as well as the sentiments.  This card measures 3x6".  For the hat (cut @ 6") I went to my Cricut Paper Dolls for Everyday cartridge and for the collar and tie (cut @ 2") I used the Designer's Calendar cartridge and cut it twice.  First cut with white cardstock and second cut with a scrap then I pieced them together and added a small white button.   I stamped the glasses and heat embossed them adding eyes to the center that I stamped and fussy cut from a Peachy Keen set.  I used the larger of the two mustache stamps and stamped it with Momento Espresso Truffle ink and then cut it out by hand.  Since this is a guy card I didn't want any fancy embellishments so I settled for a black button with four holes.  I laced some hemp through the two left holes and another piece through the two holes on the right and then wrapped it to the back of the background paper securing it with tape before adding it to my base card.  Last, but not least, I stamped the sentiment with Momento Black Tuxedo ink.  I'm so happy with how this card turned out and hope you enjoyed it, too.  Now you'll want to head over to Ginger's blog to see her fabulous creation.  The fun part about this blog hop, besides all the fabulous inspiration, is that we've spread it out over two days.  Mary has a large design team and splitting it into two teams, one for Saturday and the other for Sunday will keep you from getting a kink in your neck setting at the computer for so long.  So make sure you check Cardz TV tomorrow for the lineup of Sunday Designers with more fabulous creations using You're the Man.  Mary will be giving away two sets of her stamps as a prize for this blog hop so make sure you leave a comment here and over at Cardz TV.   Thanks for coming by and enjoy the hop.
