King of the Grill- Preview Day 1
Today is such a busy day! It's our third and final day of this month's guest designer spot and it marks the first day of previews for our new release coming this Sunday, April 20th!
One of our new stamp sets this month focuses on the man in your life. Most guys like a card with a little bit of a sense of humor and Rupa Shevde's "King of the grill" is the perfect choice. I remember growing up, my Dad never so much as boiled water in the kitchen but if anything was going to be grilled, her became Wolfgang Puck! And the grill is only a small part of this stamp set. Wait until you see the other images. This set is loaded with all of his favorites.
Father's Day isn't the only use for this stamp set. It's also quite versatile as there are other greetings such as "Happy Birthday" and "Thanks" for your "Mr. Fix-it."
Do you like our new "Bling & Dazzle" For him? Gina K. Designs "Bling & Dazzle Screw Brads" are the perfect accent for all your guys cards. They give a nice little touch without an ounce of "girlie fluff."
For this card I decided to use "Guy ribbon." LOL! That's what my hubby and I call Hemp cording- "Guy ribbon."
Do you like the woodgrained patterned paper? (It reminds me of a wooden deck- perfect for the grill.) I made that paper myself and it's super easy.
To begin, grab a piece of Stampin' Up More Mustard card stock or and equivalent.
You will also need a brown ink pad and a white or off white pigment based ink pad. I used Burnt Umber Palette Ink and then I added some Vivid Ink in Brown at the end. I used Colorbox White Pigment Ink.
To begin, take your white pigment ink pad and rub streaks directly down on to your More Mustard card stock.
Then, take your brown ink pad and rub long streak down on top of your white. Here is a picture with one side done.
When I got done with it, I still wanted the wood to look darker so I added another coat using my Vivid Brown Ink.
Doesn't that really look like planks of wood?
I colored my grill with Copic Markers and then I added some Crystal Lacquer to give the grill and the burgers some shine and dimension. Crystal Lacquer is similar to Stampin' Up's Crystal effects. See the nice shine reflecting off of the side of the grill? Inside I will stamp "Happy Father's Day" and write about one of my great summer grilling memories with my Dad. He will get such a kick out of this card!
Need some more guy card inspiration?
Check out what Melanie and Kendra have cooked up for you using "King of the Grill!"
*And, you could win this set plus your own pack of Screw brads by dropping a comment here. I'll announce the winner tomorrow during preview day 2!
Today is also the last day with our guest designer of the month, Christina Fischer. Check out the beautiful picture frame she designed and read a little bit about this fabulous designer!
See you tomorrow with preview day 2!
Hugs,
Gina K.

Whew Hew!! Exactly the type of set that I need in my collection... hmmm... do they make 'burger' card scents??? Or in my household I should ask for 'burnt' charcoal grill smell!
Great Card; Great Concept!
Reply to this
WOW I love how you made the paper look like wood. I can't wait to try and do that myself. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the new stamp sets also.
Reply to this
Wow, love the grill and the wood grain paper looks terrific. I have seen you do this before on the video clip, but I never tried it. I really like it. I am wondering . . . should work about the same with blues to get the faux denim look. I need to give that a try as well. Thanks, Gina! I would SO love to win this set.
Reply to this
I love your site! You've done a great job putting together all the guest designers, it's my favorite feature.

Great wood technique! I've seen this before but I don't think it had the white craft ink, which looks like a must, TFS! Great card! (Didn't know you were doing the grill, too!)
Reply to this
Finally! That is all I have to say, lol! I can't wait to see the rest of the set!

Gina, ALL the men in my family are grillers -- even my 12 year old nephew -- EXCEPT my dad! But i do love the screw head brads and I've been looking for some so I'll be buying them (even if I don't win -- which does NOT mean you shouldn't pick me to win!)

Great card, Gina! Hmmm, I wonder. Could this be the set you told me to stay tuned for when I mentioned by hubby loved golf? I kind of hope since he's also a King of the Grill!

Enjoy seeing all the ideas on your blog and from your guests!
Reply to this
Wow, LOVE the grill! There aren't enough man stamps out there, and these will be AWESOME! Thank you so much!!
Reply to this
This card reminds me exactly of my dad. He has always been the "MAN" responsible for doing the grill. I am soooooo anxious to see the rest of the set. My dad loves all the cards I make for my mom and he sits and really enjoys the details, but I rarely make him a card because I don't have any "GUY" stamps, etc. Also I am definitely going to be getting some of those screw brads...how very clever!!!!

WOW, I'm so impressed by the wood grain background. I absolutely love the grill card and can't wait to see the rest of the stamps. I have a hard time with guy cards. I make cards for a nursing home for their birthdays and I'm sure I could make a card using this grill. Sure hope I'm a winner

I love the card. I could really use this stamp set. I can relate about grilling, my husband doesn't cook but when something needs to be grilled he will be the one to do it. I cannot wait for it to be released. Now, your background paper, LOVE IT. Now, if I don't have those type of stamp pads what do I do? Have a great day!

The first time I brought home a guy (I ended up marrying him) to meet my parents, he stood outside watching my dad grill. My dad, the ever teasing guy, said, "If the food is good, I cooked it. If it isn't, you cooked it."
