You’ve Got Swagger – A Cute All Occasion Card

You've Got Swagger

What’s On My Desk This Week? A Cute All Occasion Card

Hello dear friends – I hope you are having a fabulous week! Today I wanted to create a fun, cheery card that incorporated a touch of a summer day, so I dug out my Copic Markers and began to play.

Every now and then I come across a stamp set I can’t get out of my head. Unity Stamp’s Swagger – which features three sentiments plus an adorable chick – is one of those sets. This is one of the cutest little birdies that I’ve seen in quite some time!

If you’re looking for a fun sentiment for your masculine-themed cards – “You’ve Got Swagger” is it!

I used the Copics to color the chick and to paint a scenic backdrop of grass and sky around him – then chose my favorite sentiment, You’ve Got Swagger, from the set to accompany the card!

I paired a lovely floral patterned paper from Stampin Up with textured cardstock from DCWV – distressed everything – and tore the paper mat to expose the lovely white core.

TIP: To make the white core pop even more, I distressed the underside of the paper I tore and layered ribbon between the patterned paper and the mat!

I chose textured ribbons from CTMH and TLC to complement the texture cardstock – a pink heart to complement the stamped hearts – and pretty pink bling to top everything off!

Now it’s your turn to share your creations with us! What have you created or acquired this week? Whether you’re showing off your desk, your latest acquisitions, or your latest creation – be sure to share it with our creative community at one of our weekly parties as well!
