I feel bad that I have not been showcasing and making cards for my wonderful hubby so this is for him! He has been such a trooper through his whole injury etc…
Today is his 1st day of Physical Therapy at the doctors! He has been doing PT here at the house 3 X's a week but today he is getting to go to the "real office" and he is excited to get his legs rolling!
This truly is a card that is MUCH better in person as the photos do not do it justice what so ever! Another bummer for me is…I left my I Phone in a friends car and this shows me….how well they take pictures…this is a great masculine card!
Here is a quick run down! I wanted to use the Regals Core'dinations Paper in the Cajun Craze Color! Love this paper as you can sand it (like I did here) or it is great to tear it….it is just fun and a different twist!
Running it through the Big Shot with the Houndstooth Embossing Folder was the start of this wow for the card! Next, I used the Sanding Block to let some magic and a rustic yet modern feel to the card come to life!
The sentiment came from the super fun and I think over looked Stamp Set, Spread the Joy! It is fun set and can make some really "heartfelt" cards! I loved the movie The Bucket List and I thought this would be a great sentment for John!
I have had many emails about "fussy cutting" and the best tip I can give you is…don't try to be perfect with your cuts….just roll with it and let the scissors do the work! I always use the paper snips and I think they are the best little scissors out there!
Matting them on Midnight Muse, I cut them again and then used the "ends" of stampin dimensionals to make them get a lift up! To balance the card I simply added some regal candy dots…a perfect and quick touch!
The envelope was a quick run through with the Envelope Liner Framelit using the Regals Designer Series Paper Stack, a must have to make your projects have that perfect finishing touch!
Do you have a "Bucket List"?
This is something that I think of often as there are many accomplishments that I still want to do…and the funny thing is – most of them are very, very simple…just some goals that I have!!!
Have a super-duper day and I am still having a tough time with the time change…I know this one is easier but I keep looking at the clock and thinking….what time is it REALLY!!!???!!!
Tomorrow is a Christmas Card as the countdown is going and I know you will love it! Classic, warm and beautiful….please pop back to tomorrow!

Another great card. Thanks for sharing
Hi Susan,
First so happy John is doing well. I love the colors of the card and the balanced look. I ordered the snips last week, so maybe I’ll be a little snippy next week. 🙂
Glad to hear that John is progressing! I like the colors and products you used on his bucket list card. Something like this will be for my husband’s birthday or Valentine’s Day or just because. Take care! Nancy B
How fun! I love to sand and distress at times! So glad John is progressing well! It must have been pretty good to get out of the house for him! I am having problems with the time change too – I will probably just get used to it when we have to change it again! Just kidding! I don’t have a bucket list. Looking forward to your card tomorrow!
Dear Susan, I love you card. I think it is a really great masculine card. I am sorry your husband was hurt. I do not know what happened. I just found your site a short time ago. I love your site, It is just so filled with great talent. I am glad that your husband is progressing. My prayers are with you, Hugs, Ellen Hinds
