Practicing Creativity May Release


Good morning!

Today I get to bring you the first set of cards featuring the new Practicing Creativity stamps! This set is perfect for the guys in your life- just in time for Father’s Day in June!

My first card features just a few of the cool designs from You’re the Man. When I first saw this background design, I knew I just had to bring out my markers. I kept this design simple since most guys don’t like “fussy” cards. :) I was originally going to stick with a gray, black and white color combination but I thought it needed a pop of color. I added the Hawaiian Shores grosgrain ribbon which was just the perfect touch. Can you believe it? No bow for this card! *gasp*


This next card is still fairly masculine but it definitely has a “Paulina” touch to it. ;) I used the solid tire tread design for this card and the awesome Happy Birthday sentiment. Do you recognize the argyle and cloud-like shape? Those are from Key to my Heart and Look Up! I love how easy it is to mix and match Courtney’s sets! Just wait until you see my card on the 5th- I was able to incorporate FOUR of her sets into one card. Pretty excited about that one….

Well, I hope this got you excited about You’re the Man! Be sure to stop by Courtney’s blog to see her cards & videos and then visit Alice’s blog tomorrow! She’ll be bringing you her creations using this set!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a fabulous day!

  5. Hi Paulina, I really love both of your cards today. Perfect! They are so lucky to have you designing at Practicing Creativity! I am looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful creations. Hugs :)

  6. Perfect “guy” cards, Paulina! I especially love that chevron pattern and the way you colored it! And the screws in the corner of the sentiment frame are a great finishing touch!
