Hey Stampers!
How's your July going? We are doing all the summer things so I'm not as faithful and consistent with my blog or my card making but I'm hoping to be a little more diligent the next couple of weeks. I'm not complaining! Summer is for getting outside and we love to do that as much as possible!
The sun is blazing in Montana and with unusually high temps, I'm even wearing a hat most days! That's a casual introduction to the theme of the bundle I want to feature today, hats! There's a great stamp and die set on page 47 of the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog that will have you creating hats for all your favorite people and all their favorite causes, teams and hobbies! It's called "Hats Off" and has a fabulous ball cap die that you can customize and make it all your own! Here's one I created, probably for my husband, who wears a ball cap almost all the time!
I had quite a bit of extra Designer Series Paper from the "Well Suited" collection that recently retired so I decided to use that for my background and color scheme. These are perfect guy colors of Basic Black, Basic Gray, Night of Navy and Pacific Point. There are two hat dies included in this set, one is large and one is very small. Don't you love the detailed stitching the dies create? Just like the real thing! There are all sorts of combos for hat customization and I chose a mountain scene and lightly colored it with some Blends alcohol markers. There are also some cute small dies including a buffalo, fish, tree, star and lightning bolt, all of which help you make the hat just like you want it! I used a dense embossing folder on my white strip of paper to give it some texture, any embossing folder will do!
Just to give you more ideas, Stampin'Up! created a short video featuring this bundle!
If you have some guys in your life and you enjoy making them cards, why not add the "Hats Off" bundle to your stash! I've included my supplies below and a click on any of them will take you to the online store for easy ordering!
Thanks for stopping by to take a peek! I hope you're making the most of summer but also taking some time to stamp, which is the best therapy of all!
Happy Stampin'!
