Everyday Hero

I am going to regularly share a product or two that I currently really love. I don't know about you, but I can have a new favourite every day, at least!

When I first saw the "Everyday Hero" stamp set, I knew there were going to be several members of my family that would appreciate projects created with these super stamps. They are fans of the Marvel films and love a bit of superhero action.

It was an obvious go to stamp set when my son-in-law celebrated his 30th birthday last weekend. I have made a variety of these styles of pop-up box cards over the years and it seemed the perfect style to create the illusion of city skyscape with a "Super Stuie" emerging from between the buildings. 

I stamped the buildings several times and snipped pieces off to build up the city. I coloured the super hero with stampin' markers, using a watercolour pencil to give me a soft skin tone. The stars on the background were created with the confetti stars border punch. The happy birthday came from the "Birthday Banners" stamp set using the coordinating "Bunch of Banner" framelits. For the "Super Stuie" sentiment I used the incredibly versatile "Labeller Alphabet" and the numbers were cut using the "Large Number" framelits.

If you are interested in any of these products, you can shop on-line, or contact me directly.

I was really pleased with the result. A wow card for a super guy on his special birthday.

And I have to give a huge shout out to some other very creative people; the folks who created this fabulous KFC bucket cake. Everything except the board and cocktail sticks were edible. It was amazing. You can find Amanda and Carol's Facebook page here. Do check them out.

Now, it is time to think about Christmas. I have had a few ladies express their desire to try and make a couple of cards a week over the coming month, so that by the time Christmas comes round they are all prepared with lots of home crafted cards for all their friends and family. To assist them in their quest, I have set up a special Facebook book called "Christmas Quackers", where we can share inspiration and motivate each other, If you would like to join in, click here and ask to join.

Hope to catch up with you again soon
