Welcome, welcome, welcome to the official kick-off for our April Release! We are so excited about his month being dedicated to the boys! While most of the products are geared towards teens and toddlers, today I have a few new sets to share with you that can be used for practically any age!
Tiffany Pastor has used her fabulous & unique sense of style to put together two amazing sets that leave the door wide open to endless possibilities. First up is Grunge Me. This set is chock full of amazing design elements that can often be found on trendy t-shirts and logos today, making them perfect for so many applications! You will love mixing and matching, layering and experimenting with all this set has to offer.
The details.
- Grunge Me will be available for purchase on April 15th.
- It will retail for $15.
- Grunge Me contains a total of 14 stamps (1 abstract frame, 2 sentiments, 2 paint splatters, 2 birds and 7 additional pattern/background building elements).
The second set she designed for this month's release is entitled My Dad, My Hero. This sentiment set focuses on grandfathers, sons and dads, making it so easy to create the perfect Father's Day cards, birthday cards and more. The term "hero" is also used repeatedly throughout the set making it appropriate for projects to encourage our troops and more as well. The meaningful words and bold titles are truly memorable and will add so much to your stamp collection!
The details.
- My Hero, My Dad will be available for purchase on April 15th.
- It will retail for $24.
- My Hero, My Dad contains a total of 29 stamps (10 titles, 1 hero definition strip, 9 companion sentiments, 1 bracket, 8 accent images)
- The titles included in this set are as follows: Dad (2, one large outline, one small bold), Father, Grandpa (2, one large outline, one small bold), Son (2, one large outline, one small bold), My Hero (2, one large outline, one small bold) and Papa.
Now that I have introduced you to these two amazing sets, let me share some of my creations!
First up, a bright colorful card that could be appropriate for either a birthday or Father's Day!
I used our new Alpha-blocks die (more about this later in the week) to cut a frame with multiple openings from white cardstock. I die-cut the openings first, then trimmed around the outside to make everything even. Note how I left some extra space at one end of the frame.
With the extra space I allowed at the side, I stamped the corrugated pattern with Smokey Shadow ink followed by the outlined Dad title in black (both images from My Hero, My Dad)
I then die-cut the blocks from six different colors of cardstock: Pure Poppy, Orange Zest, Summer Sunrise, Simply Chartreuse, Ripe Avocado and Ocean Tides. There is a small dotted rectangle pattern in Grunge Me that fits PERFECTLY in these openings! *sigh* I just love it when these happy little accidents happen!
For the interior, I added a sentiment and bracket from My Hero, My Dad. I am totally in LOVe with this sentiment because it is exactly how I feel about my dad…he made the choice to live his life to the best of his abilities, to work hard, to always be there, which in turn showed me the kind of person he wanted me to be. It doesn't get much sweeter than that!
I created an accent strip for the interior repeating the same cardstock colors from the cover. This time I stamped each of the pieces with a small striped stamp from Grunge Me. In this photo you can also see some of the splatter images I stamped on the Smokey Shadow cardstock with black ink.
And here you can see some additional splatters that were added to the cover.
Now for some simple one layer cards! As soon as I saw Tiffany's Grunge Me set I knew I wanted to experiment with layering and building patterns.
I started with this amazing distressed circle pattern stamped with Ripe Avocado. Notice how I kept to the rule of three when deciding where to place the images.
Next I added small splatters using Ocean Tides ink, followed by the dotted rectangle showcased in my first card.
The sentiment and dotted stripe (also from Grunge Me) were stamped in black. As a finishing detail, I used my Crop-a-dile II to punch holes in the center of the three circle patterns.
I have always thought that little peek-a-boo holes like this in a card can make the project more fun, giving it that little unexpected detail.
Here is the same card in more feminine colors.
Raspberry Fizz & Simply Chartreuse.
Both of these cards would be great for nearly any recipient! And can you just imagine all the fun color schemes you could recreate them in?
Another simple card with style coming up next.
I used this fun square border from My Hero, My Dad to build my focal point. I stamped the border four times, once each in Spring Moss, Ripe Avocado, Ocean Tides and Enchanted Evening.
I used a single dot from the set to add a bit more vibrancy and color emphasis to the center of each square. I also added this sentiment combination, being sure to overlap the bold portion slightly over the square pattern, while the remainder of the text was placed to the right of the pattern.
For the interior, I used some additional sentiments and accented the side with a single square image from the set, again repeating the colors that appear on the cover.
If you look carefully, you can see how I added two embossed lines at the edge of my card base using my Scor-pal.
To shake things up a bit, I recreated the same card, only geared towards a more general use/recipient.
The strips of squares & dots were stamped in Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores, Spring Moss & Ripe Avocado. The sentiment (from Think Big Favorites #3) is added in black.
I wanted to be sure to showcase how the My Hero, My Dad set can be used to create more rustic projects rather than just modern looks.
I stamped the hero definition strip vertically with Dark Chocolate ink and then added the corrugated border alongside it with VersaMark. The star was created with the Seeing Stars dies. I die-cut the largest star first from Dark Chocolate cardstock, then ran the star through my die machine a second time with the medium star centered on it. Before adhering it with foam dimensions, I stamped the distressed circle image from Grunge Me in the center and highlighted some of the circles with an E55 Copic.
This sentiment combination was stamped with Dark Chocolate ink. I colored the interior of "Father" using my E55 Copic once again.
I think this too could look fabulous in a variety of colors!
How about a card for Grandpa?
I started with a white card base and added a stamped pattern to the cover using elements found in Grunge Me. The dotted rectangles were stamped first using Enchanted Evening ink. I then added the striped rectangle in all of the leftover spaces. LOVE, love the way this turned out!
This wonderful retro-style frame from the set works really well with elements from Modern Basics! The frame (from Grunge Me) was stamped with Spring Moss ink. Then "Grandpa" and "an incredible" were added with Enchanted Evening ink.
And I can't forget to mention the little bird from the set as well.
I have one more set of layered grunge cards for you today.
This first one started with the corrugated background from My Hero, My Dad stamped in Summer Sunrise.
I then added this fun line & dots image.
Last, a few splatters stamped with Terracotta Tile. And the sentiments are amazing together. The "epic year" sentiment is from a new set that will be debuting later this month.
The "son" portion is from My Hero, My Dad.
Here's the same card in an alternate color scheme and an alternate sentiment. The colors used for the background are Aqua Mist, Spring Moss & Simply Chartreuse.
This beautiful sentiment is from Through the Trees, added with black ink.

I am amazed at the creativity that flows from the PTI designers…you all are amazing..these stamps are awesome.
These sets are perfect for masculine and teen projects but are versatile enough for other styles too. These sets will definitely fill a hole in my stamping arsenal. Excellent!
I love these new grungy masculine sets – they will certainly fill a hole in my stamp collection. Thanks for the inspiration!
My favourite set is definitely the grungy one – because it’s the most versatile. Perfect for whipping up all kinds of projects 🙂
I thought perhaps I wouldn’t be as interested in the masculine sets since my Dad and grandfathers are no longer here with me. However, I was wrong! I’m loving that corrugated stamp, the splatters and the line of squares. These two sets will be a nice addition to my collection! And it’s only the 10th! Bring it on – I’m getting a tax refund!
WOW Nichole!! your samples are breath taking! seriously, my jaw dropped and stayed there till I finished looking at your samples, you have done an incredible job in showcasing the stamp set! its so alive, its so me..its something I am going to buy!
My favorite set is My Hero, My Dad. The sentiments in this set speak volumes about my dad. My dad is the best dad ever! This stamp set is a must have.
Wow – your cards are amazing! Grunge style is not one I normally gravitate to, so I love how you showcased the versatility of using the sets for multiple occasions and recipients. I love how there seems to be a lot of elements in the sets that can be used individually for more subtle “grunge effects”.
Wonderful….I really struggle with Male cards…this is perfect 🙂 hugs x
Wow, what great inspiration. These sets are much more versatile than I would ever have imagined from the sneak peeks.
I love the grunge. Great cards.
Eveline.
I love this set, totally different style from the other sets PTI has released to date.
Love the grunge style. Bye Irene
Love the grunge set – very versatile. Really cool cards as well – love your samples 🙂
Such a great start to this months release! I love the grunge me set. Your projects are fantastic!
Awsome card designs Nichole! These sets are going to be so versatile!
Oh i need more masculine stamps! Awesome design and love the new die too! Love your cards Nichole!
Loooved the cards here today! Oeh, that grunge set looks just amazing! Wow, all the new cards you can make with that, awesome! Perfect for backgrounds and details in simple cards! Love the one layer cards showed here today! Something totally different than last month, but you all did it again! 😉 And who wouldn’t love to win this amazing package you mention here, wow!!!
Hugs, Wendy
Wow, grunge has always frightened me and so I have never dared try it, but your examples of how to layer up the images and that bright colours are allowed has changed my mind. I think I could try dipping my toe in. Great inspiration!
Very fun! I would make cards for my dad and for my kids’ grandpas with these sets – it’s really hard to make masculine cards… thx for the inspiration!
wow, so grunge. Lovely. and so much possibilities. Grate. I can’t wait to see the rest.
AMAZING!! Nichole….I love each and everyone of these creations…such wonderful sets as all cards for males are hard..you have made it look so easy..thanks for always being so inspiring. Hugs!
This is by far the best masculine set I have seen in the three plus years I have been stamping. Your cards are amazing. Thanks for sharing this … Can’t wait to get my hands on it!
Wow! I love the way these sets are geared towards our boys, yet you’ve shown us just how versatile they are for everyone! Super excited! Beautiful as always 🙂
Love your cards! Creative and colorful! TFS
These sets are exactly what I was hoping they would be. Perfect for masculine cards but great for everyone with all the built-in versatility. PTI definitely needed some sets that filled a gap in your collection with these specific styles. I cannot wait to play!!
ooo..ooo..ooo..I love that Grunge set! It’s so modern and fun! I can’t wait to play with it!
What a wonderful selection of cards today, so MANY! and each SO beautiful! Very Inspiring, thankyou so much.
OMG!!!! I am in lOvE!!! You did such a great job at show-casing these stamp sets. I know I will be buying them!!!
Love what you have done with these sets – really liking the Grunge set. Fab ideas once again.
Gorgeous set and beautiful cards. Sure going into my cart.
When I saw the previews this month, I was hoping this would be cheap PTI month for me. No such luck, and it’s only the first day of the countdown! I love all of your projects today, Nichole! I can’t wait to own the Grunge Me set!
Luckily my Dad is still with me so first card thoughts would be for him. But i love all the variations you showed using the elements for cards for anyone.
The Grunge set looks great! Will fill in my collection for those teen,tween cards I need. Also love the Alpha Block die. Cannot wait to see more.
Living in a house with only boys, it seems this release is meant for me!!!! I’m loving the “grunge-y” style!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE Grunge Me! Great for teens 🙂
Lou
These sets will add such a professional edge to my card making – so inspirational.
What an amazing new concept for “boys” cards…I have 4 grown “boys”…but I always make their cards and usually struggle to come up with a “man’s card…but what I really love in the Grunge set is it can be “girlie”, too!! Love it when a set can be used for more then what it was intended!!
wow….my kids would love this! And I love the look of the Smokey Shadow paper with all the colors! gorgeous!
What wonderful sets and ideas for masculine cards! Can’t wait to try them out!
Grunge Me is awesome! Masculine, yet very versatile! Loving the sentiments in My Hero, My Dad as well!
I am really loving the grunge background elements! Great for masculine cards with less layers! I am always making Father’s Day cards and birthday cards for all the men in my life, so I could really use these building blocks!
Fabulous!!! I love these sets to make the modern cards that I like to create for the men in my life, such as my brother, my father, friends….
I thought, perhaps, I would in fact NOT “need” everything from this particular release, however….it’s not looking good (for my pocketbook) so far. Really REALLY incredible samples! Although this is not the direction my cards usually go, I could see myself having fun creating with these sets and could definitely use some masculine versatility in my collection.
The grunge look is big right now. Thanks for the versitility in your products.
Great design elements! I especially like the corrugated cardboard texture stamp. It adds just the right touch to so many things.
So GORGEOUS or most I say COOL ..the cards are stunning love them!
Love both the sets I like to make backgrounds
and these are so cool for this.
I have two sons a husband/ brother in law/cousins/ uncles/ …..and many more men in my live I make cards for so this is such a great set.
Very versatile set–changing colors really changes the look. My favorite is the rustic look.
I have four boys…and lots of brothers/brother-in-laws! Definitely could use these sets a ton! I love the clean design of all the cards shown today – AMAZING!
I, so, love these sets! They are fabulous for my life filled with hip tween boys and solid loving men! I’m, especially, excited about the grunge set and see lots of scrapbooking and 3D project uses for it, as well as cards!!
You’ve really filled a need with these two sets. I always struggle with creating cards for my nephews and I’m so excited about this release! It’s modern and trendy, i’m thrilled with what you’ve done!
How wonderful to see some more masculine sets coming our way! The samples are fantastic!
Oh My goodness I love each and every one of these projects and all these stamps are already on my wish list! Just gorgeous work!
I love how you’ve taken grunge and turned it into mainstream! The Live for Today card is just beautiful and would work for everything from birthday to sympathy. I’m very excited about this set!
looking at those sets and its creation, My Hero, Grunge…it just made me yearn for it!!! It yield such a strong emotions in me…unique sets!
Great Set! i dont have many sets for Dad and this makes a Great set to begin the collection. Love the retro feeling the stamps give.
I love the grunge look but don’t know if I could put it together on my own but your samples sure solve that problem : ) Thanks for the chance to play!
Absolutely amazing cards today!!! I can’t wait to visit the other DT members to see their creations throughout this “new release” month to see theirs, as well!!!
Grunge Me just went to the top of my wish list. Love it!
oh my, the grunge me set is is absolute must have. my son and husband will definately be getting some of the cards from that set!
Each month I’m blown away by the creativity I find here, and this introduction to April’s release is no exception!
Your projects are fantastic!
Great inspiration.
Thanks.
I loved them all… U would not believe me if I said, I gazed at them all droolingly drooping…. (I know it isn’t a word so what, it lets me express my state then… ;)That has inspired me sure to use some of the stamps that were just lying around since months…. They had these weird designs on them, but VOILA! I can put them to use in an awesome manner… Thanks again for sharing…. Hugs)))
Really liking what I am seeing from My Hero, My Dad! Think I am going to NEED this one for sure! =)
Wow, you make making masculine cards look easy!! Love your samples!!! This grunge looks great. I really thought I wouldn’t need any of the masculine sets, but you make me want to!
I really like the open alphabet words on the cards. Looks like a go-to particularly when a male card is needed (& I have virtually no stamps for those occasions). Also, like the alpha-die. Very nice!
I love all of the building and accent images with these two sets. Particularly the corrugated border and splatter images. Male cards are always the hardest and right now I have more men in my life than women! I’m totally outnumbered!
wow…finally a masculine set that works (for everyone)! your cards ‘rock’ as always.
What I like about these sets are that they are different. You don’t see masculine sets this anywhere. So many different cards from these two sets.
I am doing the happy dance…I love that grunge look! The layering possibilities have really got me excited.
I have to say I was a bit skeptical of all the “boy” sets this month, but you have once again shown me the way Nichole! The Grunge Me set is very cool, and I was intrigued when I saw the sneak peek, and now know it’s a keeper!
the grunge set is a must-have, and i LOVE the cardboard stamp in the dad set.
Love, love, love your cards! I HAVE TO HAVE the Grunge me set!!! How awesome!
Love that yall have included the men in our lives…hard to find masculine sentiments. Y’all did a wonderful job with all the projects!
Wow- I am blown away by all the different ways to use this set. Wistfully, I didn’t start making cards until after my Dad passed away. He would have really loved the sentiments shown here. Make them and send them before it’s too late!
Oh boy, just when I thought I might be able to catch up on my wish list, you showcase these wonderful new sets!!!! I love how you showed that they can be used for female cards too!!! Love both of the sets you have shown today and I could have used them last week as my eldest son turns 21 tomorrow and I really struggled with his card this year!! Looking forward to another fabulous PTI release:)
These projects all look fabulous and we can’t forget about the men in our lives.
I love the grunge!! What a neat way to add perfectly to a “manly” card!
Great Cards!! The samples are awesome! Many ideas for fun masculine cards.
Wow! I didn’t think that I really needed this set, but I really like Grunge me. I liked that you used it in so many different ways. Thanks so much!
My word, Tiffany’s sets are so perfect for the men in my lift! I’ve never had children, but my father and brothers are the men to whom no other men can live up to, which is probably why I’m still single! 😉
Sets for men are among my favorites in my stash and I can’t wait to add these to it!
Thank you!
Wow! Wonderful sets for masculine cards but as you’ve shown, great for feminine cards, too. Very versatile. Love the sentiments. Awesome samples, Nichole!
Love the grungy look~
Over the last 10 mo. I have made 200 cards to sell for the Tearfund charity and have become aware that I don’t really have any teen stamps…. THESE ARE PERFECT !!! They convey the message without being cheesy – something I think PTI excels at. Thank you so much for the inspiration, products and the opportunity to win !!
Your projects are always amazing. I love one layer cards; grunge stamp set is perfect!
Oh, I didn’t WANT to like the Dad set so much…but I do!! Love BOTH of these sets…definitely on the wish list! 🙂
It is great to have non-flower options. I also liked how the grunge set could work with frilly and curly sentiments.
When I saw the title about ‘grunge’ I was on the fence. BUT, when I saw the projects, I was WOWED!! I love the corrugated look especially. I could see this set being versatile in so many ways!
What an amazing set and what wonderful talent to present it! You made ‘grunge’ look good. Thank you.
I thought you said we had a month off?! Ha! Loving Grunge Me…got to have it. The cards with this set are awesome! Tiffany has herself a winner!
I love that grunge set…….. and so useful for the girls too!!! Great job on the design of this set Tiffany and of course Nicole you always know how to bring a fantastic set to life!!! Thank you for the inspiration!!
Wow …. these cards are wonderful. I love the corragated stamp, bit grungy. Thanks for sharing with us. Cheers
Here I was, thinking I didn’t really need any more masculine or boy sets…ummm…well that’s changed now!! Can’t wait to get these!
What a cool new look for PTI! Love it all!
Wow! Seeing more masculine stamps is VERY exciting!!! Love all the examples of cards you’ve shown. Fabulous!
WOW-WOW-WOW!!!! I am so impressed with the new sets coming and your projects are wonderful! Can’t wait to see the rest of the sets and projects the team has created!!!
Wow, these sets look amazing! Love your cards!
PTI, you are amazing. You come up with stamp sets that meet every need. These sets are perfect for the men in my life. Thank you!
Again….I’m amazed….who knew I would fall in love with grunge??????
All the cards are simply amazing!
Great cards to showcase these sets to show versatility. As always, amazing!
I have to be honest. I didn’t think I’d like the Grunge at all. But I LOVE it!! You and the PTI DT did a fantastic job showcasing it!!
AMAZING! So many great projects showcased today and these sets seem to make designing masculine cards EASY! I love it! Can’t wait to get my hands on these!
I love, love, love that grunge set! It’s the perfect set to create cards for the teenage boys in my family. Love it!!!
I too was thinking I wouldn’t have any use for these particular stamps, then I saw them…I’m hooked. I love the Grunge Me, the paint splatters. Are the dots and lines from Grunge Me or My Hero? I really like your use of the Modern Basics images on the Grandpa card and am happy to say I already own that one!
Very nice cards!
These are so versatile!
To be honest I’ve been afraid of buying too specific of stamps because I was worried they wouldn’t be used enough to justify the expense (although I have admired them greatly!) But you’ve changed my mind today! Not only will I be able to make great masculine cards for my dad, husband and son (and send a batch to OWH) but I can use them for the amazing women in my life (my daughters are two of them!) While Through the Trees has always been a favorite of mine, I love Grunge Me and My Hero, My Dad too!
What a great variety shown with this grunge concept. I never knew there could be so much versatility with a masculine set. I am excited to see more. My projects are mostly on the feminine side, but I may cross over to the other side with your amazing display of samples!! Great job!!
How cool these new sets are! Not only they are masculine (which I always wanted!) but you can also give them a twist and make the girly too! TFS 🙂
Didn’t think the masculine sets would be something I would use a lot but I’m so glad I was wrong! Love these ideas for the men in our family. There goes my catch up month off 🙂
The grungy style stamps look like such fun to work with. I like the paint splatters – I could use that every time I made a little mistake on my card and no one would guess!! I really like these card elements for my sons and husband, but I’m so impressed with the feminine cards using the same elements with the ‘girly’ colours.
Wonderful I so needed more male card ideas and stamps. I love them all your so creative!
Woah! I love the paint border, and I love these cards! Wonderful work, Nichole! Great to see how versatile the cards can be with just the sentiments changed.
I like that this set is more to make cards for the men in our live. Love it.
Sandra
Love the versatility and the modern look that you showcased. And the alternative color schemes show that these stamps can be used for any recipient. Fabulous ideas Nichole!
I am sooooo excited to see “guy” stamps. When I go to make cards for my boys it is always such a challenge because there is just not that much out there geared for the “masculine” look! Thanks so much PTI…these are definitely on my “to purchase” list! Love Love Love them!
I didn’t think this release would be that appealing to me based on the peeks, even though I have two sons. However, in true PTI form, Nichole, you have made these two sets look like awesome must haves. Can’t wait to see some of the other stamps now.
All of the cards are fabulous. Love the grunge set and the die. Another fantastic month!
I love when you show us two cards with the same design in different color combos. Love this time of the month.
Love the grunge set, and the different design elements in both set. So many options. Beautiful cards!
wow! those cards are amazing…I’m not sure how you can choose just one set as a favorite..I really love the grunge me set and it would be one of the first ones I would purchase…then the one with the circles, the dots and stripes are awesome too…..
Thanks for all of the inspiration
Really fun sets! Love this new direction of PTI stamps. The fonts on the sentiments I saw today are just fabulous. Can’t wait to see what the alpha block die is all about either.
I’m loving the grungy textures of these! So many possibilities. We are going to have loads of inspiration for masculine cards at the end of this release. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Wow. These are really great cards. I can’t wait to see all that is in store for this month.
I just love the corrugated background stamp. Even if you can’t use all the personalized stamps I can see dozens of possibilities.
I LOVE to create my own patterns and backgrounds so this set is for me!!! Super cool ideas!
Love these grunge patterns. They are so gorgeous layered in different colors, WOW!! Love the variety of projects you have shared today!
Great masculine sets!! Love what you did with them!! Very versatile!! Great cards!!
Amazing how you take a stamp set and turn it into something so perfect for any occasion!
I LOVE both of these sets because they’re SO versatile, but if I had to choose just one, it would be Grunge Me. You have created such wonderfully different cards which means one can get so much use from each of the stamps in this set. I can’t wait to start using them!
Love all the grunge elements. They would be great to use on all my masculine cards.
Those paint splatters are AWESOME!! Fantastic inspiration as always Nichole!!!
Oh my, these stamps are awesome! I will definitely be getting these, thanks Tiffany (and Nichole) for putting these two sets together, they are brilliant and a must have!
I don’t care for grunge style but after seeing your projects I can see how I could use this set, love your my father my hero
card.
Wow! I just love these new sets. I can see using them for my son, my husband, my nephew and coworkers. Lots of teen girls are into the grunge
look too. These sets will really help round out my male choices. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration as usual!
Gorgeous cards! I love the versatility of all the stamp sets! The Grunge set is really catching my eye. I love them all though so please don’t make me pick! LOL!
I am very happy to see that once again, you have created sets that have a specific purpose (for the men), but that are so versatile they can be used on cards for a multitude of purposes! Amazing.
These cards are great inspiration. I struggle with “manly” cards and these are brilliant! I love the simplicity and the colors. I love the grungy images, the “you rock” and the “epic year” saying. They will be awesome for man and boy cards. Thanks so much for helping me out with “boy” cards.
Sets for the boys! Fantastic! Can’t wait for tomorrow!
I love the new Grunge set! It’s already looks like a wonderful (and expensive) release:)
Wow! Love both sets! The grunge set was a surprise. I would have never thought of something like it, but seeing what you created with it, makes it a definite favourite. Thank you for showing so many great man-boy cards, I always struggle with them….
The new set has a wonderful graphic quality and coupled with the new “guy” set really opens up the possibilities of some great masculine-oriented cards. Many look to have that “clean & simple” look, but with some excitement.
I was really disappointed about this release until today! I’m really impressed with Grunge Me. It looks like it could be really useful for all the cards I make for my high school students. Grunge Me looks like it will go in the “need” colunm!!!!!
I’m so looking forward to all your sets this month! With my husband and three boys…I need plenty of boy sets! Love what you’ve shown so far!
Who knew that grunge could be so fun? I was thinking I wouldn’t “need” any sets this month! Thinking now that I was wrong! Thanks for all the inspiration and the chance to win!
I love these sets, the grunge look and layering effect is great. I think these sets would work great for creating cards for coworkers and for the High School Wrestlers that my husband coaches! Looking forward to seeing more.
I am so in love with these samples… these sets make it look easy to make a masculine card… I have such a need to get sets like these…
Just when I thought i came upon a PTI set that wasn’t calling my name…I’m new to PTI and still struggle with layering. You show such techniques that even novice stamper can master…Thank you, thank you!
I would make cards for my son & his friend’s birthdays. I never quite know what to do with those, but I don’t want to BUY cards when I have spent all this money on supplies! I’m really looking forward to a couple of these sets to help me build fun “cool” cards for these boys! Thanks for the inspiration, Nichole!
WOW! This new release set is PERFECT! I already have so many ideas for it for cards for teen boys and my DH!
I’m LOVING the corrugated & splatters stamps!!
These are just amazing!!
I love all the sentiments for dads 🙂
Wow! Who knew you could make such beautiful cards with a grunge set! I love both of these sets and see how they can be used for almost anyone – such versatility as usual!
I really love the “Grunge Me” images – I have a lot of nieces and nephews for which these images will be perfect. Thank you for a ton of card inspiration today 🙂 Heather J.
Oh wow I am head over heals for that grunge set I can see finally my male cards resolved. I can see cards being made for both of my sons friends as well I wouldn’t be limited into what I will be able to use for their cards. THIS is the answer I’ve been waiting for!
Love this set! I am always looking for ideas for my dad, husband and sons! I love the You Rock Card in the green and pink!
Wow, great inspiration on sets I didn’t think I needed, now I do. Would of loved to have the saying for my Dad, about integrity regarding the challenges that come his way, his birthday is April 15th and his challenge was dealing with my Mom’s Alzheimer’s and how he was an inspiration to all of us in how he handled it. She was diagnosed in 1999 and just passed away Dec. 28, 2010. They missed their 60th wedding anniversary by one week. Great cards!!
Okay, WOW! The Grunge set is so on-trend and amazingly versatile for those hard-to-create masculine projects. I can see myself turning to this time and time again. My favorite is your first card with the bright color blocks paired with Smokey Shadow. Brilliant!
I really like how you show a male version and a female version of the cards. I don’t have any Dad sets so this will be perfect. Can’t wait to see more as I have two boys! The alphabet block die looks interesting as well!
Such fresh and fun ideas! I’m enjoying all the men and boy images/sentiments. Can’t wait to see more!
I am so excited about these sets. They are perfect for all the men in my life (and especially the teenage boys too)!
What unique masculine stamp sets — I love them all!
All of these samples are incredible! I love all of the background possibilities from Grunge Me and the sentiments from My Hero, My Dad are amazing!! Masculine cards are going to be so easy from now on. 😀
Love Grunge Me! I have brushes like this that I use in Photoshop and always thought it would be great to have a stamp set like this…now I will.
Your cards are awesome as usual. I love the new sets, I have very little masculine stuff. Thanks for the chance to win.
Wow!! These sets look very versatile as always you come up trumps with your creations.x
I love that you showed grunge with gorgeous colors! The new die is awesome. I am intrigued by the possibilities of all that you showed today.
I am loving the grunge set. I get so intimidated by masculine cards, that I don’t make too many of them. I would make cards for my dad, my brother, and my kids’ uncles. Also, my son’s friends for their birthdays. I like how this set could instantly be used for girls as well. The hero set looks fun too. I am absolutely in LOVE with the Dad card you first showcased today. That is a showstopper!
This looks like a cute set – really like the Grandpa card, my do you have patience! I’m excited to see the Alpha blocks die!
Love both sets, but with 2 grandsons in college, the grunge set is for me. the dad, my hero card has great fonts, can’t wait to see the complete set
I love all the different looks you’ve achieved with these sets – styles to suit anyone & everyone!! Love the grunge!!!
Wow, I just LOVE Grunge Me! And thanks for showing ways it can be used other than masculine cards.
I am freaking out over these sets! I have so many ideas on using these for my scrapbook pages 🙂
I love the corregated background!!! I just love how everything can be mixed and matched for different needs!!
I love the splatter, and the corrugated look. I tend to think of these types of images as more male-oriented, so I particularly appreciate how you showed their feminine side.
Oh, WOW…not sure what to say about these sets, but your cards are just great! Have always wanted to try layering my stamps to get that grunge effect, but never had the stamps to do so…these are perfect. With one little 5 year old boy and another who is 8 going on 18, these are perfect. Thanks to you and your team for such fabulous work. Cheers!
Wow, I love how many projects today! Great ideas for masculine cards, a definite need in my stamping supplies! Thanks for sharing, they are amazing!
Thank you for filling this niche. I had resorted to buying cards for my son and his friends because I had nothing appropriate to make them. This looks perfect.
I have been waiting for a grunge and masculine set laready love this release
I’ve been searching FOREVER to find just the right masculine stamps and setiments. Outstanding job! Love the grunge.
Love the new grunge. Awesome cards. Your ideas are always inspiring!
Am so in LOVE with the grunge me set!!! *Squeal*
I thought I might be able to “take a little rest” this month, but that thought has now gone out the window. I love these projects and can see using these stamp sets for so many occasions! Have fallen in love with the Alpha Blocks die also!
Today is a prime example of why I love PTI!
Not only do you produce top quality product, but you teach us how to use them!!
I would never have tried the grunge look on my own. But, your post today convinced me that I could do it. Thank you!
As always, PTI comes up with amazing ideas! What fun the grunge set will be. Thanks for the chance to win
These cards are amazing. Making masculine cards has just gotten easier. I especially love the My Father My Hero card and the Layered Grunge cards. I really like how you used different colr schemes of the same card to mix things up.
I LOVE graffitti and Grunge Me is the set I was most interested in from the previews. It does not disappoint. Can’t wait to get my hands on it 🙂
I’m stunned!! From the original sneak peeks, I was sure that I wouldn’t have a use for this style stamp sets. I’m just not a “grunge girl”. But, wow!! I truly love what you’ve done with these sets! Although they have a grunge feel, they are still very classy and tasteful. They are unlike anything I have. Can’t wait to see the full reveal!!
I love the grungy look – being able to add a bit of interest to the background, in either discrete colors or bolder ones, without overwhelming the focus. Love it!
Perfect masculine/teen sets! I don’t do many masculine cards but I love these grungy images. You guys are amazing!
At first I thought I wouldn’t use a set like this, but after seeing how you used them for both masculine and feminine cards I can think of lots of ways. I would make cards for grandpa, and my son and maybe a few teenage girls in there too. Can’t wait to see the rest of this release.
These sets have to be THE coolest masculine/boys sets I’ve ever seen! I think my son would actually be excited to give one of his friends a card using this set – and that’s saying a lot!
I must admit I was skeptical about the grunge set but I love what I see so far. I love the ease of making awesome looking cards with minimal effort for all those guys in our lives. These sets are winners!
I love the grunge set! This takes card making to a new level. No more men cards with boats or golf for me!
Keep up the amazing inspiration ladies
Wow. I was thinking I didn’t need a masculine set, but now that I’ve seen this, it might just be hopping its way into my cart. Awesome cards!
Ok Nichole…you said you were going to give us a “break” with this release….First of all, I can’t believe that anyone would even think of suggesting such a “break”!!!!! Second of all, mission not accomplished 😉 I love them all!!!!!!!!!
I really need more male stamp sets because I have a lot of boys and men to make cards and scrapbook for so these sets will be a wonderful addition!
I really didn’t think I’d be so wowed but I love these sets! I have 3 boys and I’m always looking for some good masculine sets. I LOVE the Grunge Me set and think that will have to be added to my ever growing list!
Once again, I had no interest in these sets until I saw them in action. Now, they are both must-haves for my stamp collection.
Fantastic release…I am looking forward to the full reveal.
oh my word!!! i can’t wait to see more of this release….i absolutley {{love}} the corrogated cardboard stamp – that is a must have
I love the font of the ‘Dad’ and ‘Grandpa’ and ‘Son’. Plus those longer sentiments! Totally fills a need in my stamp collection. Thanks for sharing!
Love that you are focusing on the guys this month! It is so hard to find good masculine sets! Love the grunge look & how you used them! Great job…can’t wait to see the rest!
Both of these sets are home runs, and the cards are amazing! Both are must-have, whether by purchase or by winning. Of course, winning would be nicer, but either way they are coming to my house. Thanks for the inspiration.
Wow! So excited for this release from all the previews you’ve shown. I love this grundge look that is every where in advertising right now and so excited that now I can create that myself with the wonderful PTI products! Your cards are AMAZING as usual! Love the clean look and bright colors. TFS
It is nice to see some ways to put together the graphic elements. That is always so hard for me, so I tend to shy away from those types of sets. Thanks for the inspiration!
Such a fun release! Your projects are truly inspirational! I love how you showcased them to not only be masculine but ‘everyday’ cards too!
My favorite is the My Dad, My Hero stamp set! That one is sure to get lots of mileage in my stamp room!
Your samples today are all so AMAZING, Nichole! Love how you’ve showed us the versatility of these sets! I’m really loving that grunge set!
Love that grunge – but I’d rather call it “distressed” as I’m rather too old for grunge I fear! But it will be on my list for sure. We’re an all girl family as Dad and Granddad are no longer with us and I don’t have brothers but I really really like the stamps I’ve seen and will enjoy creating abstract patterns for my projects with them.
WOW! And yesterday I said I fit into the category of not needing the masculine genre of stamps. Who cares about NEED–now it is a matter of WANT!!! Love the grunge look and especially appreciated the way you showcased their flexibility and more feminine side with different color takes and a variety of sentiments!! Great job!!
I just love the Grunge set!! It’s so perfect for boy cards! Between my nephew, my Dad, and DH, I’m always struggling to find masculine stamps and this set fits the bill perfectly.
Nicole your cards are AMAZING!! I love the patterns you created! I think you could make any stamp set look like a must have.
These sets would be perfect for ALL the men in my life, especially my Husband, brothers and stepsons!!!
once again you’ve shown me that a stamp set can be used in different ways. Love the projects (just wish I had my dad around to give him a card) and especially love your creativity!!
LOVE these sets, especially the Grunge Me set. Can’t wait to get my hands on them. I have two daughters myself but five nephews so they will get a lot of use 🙂
Love the grunge look! These new sets will be great for my teenage grandsons!! I always struggle to make cards for them, but with what was shown today with these sets brought a lot of inspiration! Thanks for the chance to win!! I can’t wait to see the other set with the epic years!!
These cards are perfect for the upcoming events. I love the star card…and would love to make something like it. thank you for sharing the inspiration. KSH
My search is over! Male geared sets that aren’t hobby or sport related are so hard to find, especially for teenage boys. I’m loving the sentiments that go along with these sets also. Really liked the look of the rainbow Dad card.
WOW! WOW! WOW! I am completely blown away by everything here. Incredible work!! I just love how you created the same card in varying colour schemes. Thanks for the continued inspiration!
I think it’s great to have some masculine choices. Great inspiration!
I am always impressed by how you highlight the versatility of the stamp sets!! I thought this might be a month where I wouldn’t have too many to add to my wish list–BOY was I wrong! Love that these are grunge-lite in that you can apply them with a light touch or build and build layers to really grunge things up! Thanks for the inspiration and the great stamp sets!
Wow! What a way to kick things off! As a mother of three boys, I’m really excited about a month dedicated to boys. Love the grunge!
I really like all of the elements in the Grunge Me set. They look so fun!
Awesome. 😉 I have been looking for products that will help me make some more masculine cards. Looks great!
Thank you, thank you fabulous PTI designers!!! Once again you’ve perfectly created stamps that are on trend & so desperately needed in my collection 🙂
LOVE the corrugated border, stripes & dots, and the splatters – so many layering possibilities! The 15th can’t get here soon enough.
I love, love, love the rainbow card! Amazing sets as always!
These sets are sets I didn’t even know I needed until I saw your examples! Ha! I will be ordering these now for sure. Your examples are amazing!
Laurie F
All of today’s cards are really sharp! I especially like the two Layered Grunge cards though. Thanks for the inspiration and chance to win such amazing things!
Love the corrugated look! And really, really love the star card…gorgeous!
excuse me, can i have a few of those grunge patterns in extra large so i can paper my wall w/ it??? lol… i love them! thanks for the same pattern/different color scheme ideas. will make my next batch-making session go faster.
Masculine cards are always the hardest for me to create–PTI to the rescue!
I don’t have a son and only one male parent left so I thought I might be safe this peek. NOT! I LoVE the Grunge set. All the different ways it can be used for nearly any occasion is amazing.
This set is awesome! Can’t wait to see the rest of the set. I also love your sample cards, Nichole!
These stamps are sooo cool! I’d make cards for all the men in my life with these stamps–the stamps are so versatile!
These projects are wonderful and they highlight the versatility of these sets. I love the fonts in the My Dad, My Hero. I look forward to using these to make cards and mini scrapbooks for my husband and father.
Oh, I see so many possibilities with that grunge set!!I love it!
The best masculine sets ever! Love the grunge look but each fabulous member of the design team takes it to a whole new look. Awesome as always.
Wow, I like all the projects. I would most likely reach for the grunge set the most, but I do like what I see with the tree set. I would love to have some of the versatility in my collection. 🙂
ohhhh emmmmm geeeee! when i saw the initial sneak peaks, i thought i possibly wouldnt want alot this month, maybe just the alphas and a background set! yep as of now! this HAS CHANGED!
another fabtastic sneak peak! cant wait for the rest !
u r all an inspiration!
what great projects!!! when i first heard “grunge” i thought it would be something i could pass up, but you have a way of making this set a must have. thanks.
Fabulous! Definitely for our grandchildren as they move into the tween years. And with the versatility, many more ideas floating around in my head.
Wow, just love the Grunge Me set. So modern and hip. Love all your cards, as always!
Wow! The Grunge Me stamp set just made it on my must have list. Love all the alternatives you did for each card. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
I just knew that the Grunge stamp set would be one that I wouldn’t need, but again you proved me wrong Nichole!
love the grunge and so excited to see some man stamps.
Lovin’ grunge me! Looks like that set could be used a million different ways. The my hero, my dad set will definately fill a hole in my stamping collection. The outline Dad and grandpa are my favorite sentiments, I love the font used. We’ll be able to make some amazing man and teen cards with the combination of these two sets.
So many possibilities with these new sets! Grunge away!
I really love the corrugated image & the 2 rectangle patterns from Grunge me. They could be used to create many different moods on a card.
I definitely have a harder time making a card for a man or boy using what I have. These sets will fill the hole in my stamp stash. I love the grunge set and the sentiments in the My Hero, My Dad set really tug at my heart.
Nicole and ladies of the art,
First you outdo Stampin’ Up! for me, now you’re grunging neck and neck with Tim. Looks like you have another winning look.
YOU Rock! Thanks to all of you.
Wow–you’ve truly inspired me. What a wonderful job showcasing these images and their versatility. I tip my hat to you!
Great stamp set and projects. Like always PTI is versatile!
Wow!!! I am always looking for card ideas sor my hubs, father in law, brother and guy cousins so the grunge set is on my list. I love the large splatter and corrugated background on your cards!!!
WoWzEr!!!!! These cards are fantastic. I love them allllllll. My favorite sentiment is live for today. But wow, so creative and wonderful.
WOW! I’m really thrilled with the samples today! I wasn’t sure whether the masculine and grunge stamps would be something I would use, but now that I see the samples I think they are versatile enough to go across a range of styles. Yipee!
I’m really excited to see stamps geared towards men/boys. I’m hosting a PTI swap on SCS and coincidentally that is one of the categories. So this is just perfect!
From the sneak peeks, I didn’t think I would be too interested in these sets. But, once again, you’ve proven me wrong :). I can see using the grunge set for all the little ones in our neighborhood who are outgrowing “cutsie” way too fast! And the hero/dad set for friends and relatives serving our country. The sets seems to be incredibly versatile. Thanks again!
I love everything I’ve seen so far! I love grunge!
i really loved the last 2 cards…love the pattern you created at the bottom…almost like a grunge garden of sorts! cute cute! can’t wait to see what’s next. xoxo andie librandi…
Nichole, you are doing it again. I really thought I was going to be good this month, but you have changed my mind. I can honestly say ‘I don’t do grunge’ but you are changing that statement. This grunge is a clean, simple, elegant grunge and I’m going to do it. I love your cards today!
….and here I thought THIS was going to be the month when I could ‘catch up’ since I have very limited young men in my life. Ah, I thought, finally I can get those sets I have on my wish list because EVERY MONTH there are some MUST HAVE sets. BUT NO!!!!! I LOVE the corrugated and spatter patterns! OH MY! Thanks for a chance to win them….and more!
You’ve shown such great versatility in the use of this stamp set. What I initially thought would be strickly a masculine set has become a universal set. Love it!
Love the way you can make all different backgrounds~ and all the examples AMAZING…
Any male would love to receive these cards today, and I just happen to have a lot of males in m life. I will love playing with these sets.
SO happy to see the grunge set – it’s the perfect builder for lots of cards. Fantastic!
Love it! I love it that you’ve made stuff that is very masculine!!!! 🙂
I *knew* it!! From the minute I saw the sneak peeks, I knew these were going to be amazing sets! Both of these sets are definitely going to be coming to my house. You brought to life exactly the ideas I had in my mind ;-)… except better, of course! I would love to win this collection!!
Wow! I love all of the different looks. The projects are great, and the stamps seem like a lot of fun!
I have fallen in love with the Grunge Me set! I especially love the cardboard stamp and the paint splatters. Too cool!
Grunge Me!?!? Wow, that’s genius! LOVE the sneaks of the set and all of your projects… A fantastic Day 1!
Love the Grunge…can’t wait for the full reveal!
Was so surprised at how much I Loved your samples. I didn’t think I would need these sets when I saw the Sneak Peaks but after seeing your cards I want them. Can’t wait to see the rest of the sets. I LOVE the Grunge Set and the new Die! Amazing!
Love all the cards shown today! I really love how you used the new grunge set. It looks like another must have set.
Wow PTI – these new masculine sets are EPIC! I am definitely sold on them. I love the cool look for my son, but my favorite are the Dad sentiments that you showcased – they are really special! I especially liked the rustic card with the star accent – just AWESOME!!!!!!!
I absolutely LOVE the grunge set. These stamp sets are coming at a perfect time since my husband is getting ready to deploy for a year and I will be making him lots of cards.
I am really loving the grungy set! I loved that your samples were “multi purposed” today. It is great to see the versatility of the sets!
Thanks for all the inspiration for creating masculine cards. It is great to see that these stamp sets are so versatile.
What absolutely beautiful sentiments! I always find it a challenge to make them cards for the men in my life. I wish my dad was still alive because I most definitely would have made him the card with the verse “You chose to live the live…” I see so many possibilities with this set. Thanks for a terrific start to this month’s releases!
WOW! I love all of these masculine sets, my favorite is the Grunge Me set. But they all are great! They all would make a great addition to my PTI closet 🙂
Thanks again for another month of goodies.
My 37 year old son and I are just sitting here oohhing and aahhing these cards! How ingenious! Masterful!
Oh, Nichole, these sets weren’t even on my radar during the sneak peeks but now I think they’re must haves! I love the cards you made and I especially love when you made the same card in a different color scheme for a different occasion! Talk about showing off the versatility! Can’t wait to see what else this week has in store!
This team of yours blows my mind every time. The designs they create for stamps are so unique, and then when they use them…….. Pure genius.
Since I only have boys, I always need masculine cards. I think the corrugated background is so awesome and I can see using it a ton! Love the projects today!
Awesome, Nichole! Thank you for all these examples. I like how you showed the masculine card and then a more feminine one. It helped me see how versatile these sets are. I am getting them all for sure! This will fill that whole in the ‘boy’ sets that I have. Thank you!
Very creative and versatile stamps that would be so much fun to own!
Love the grunge cards and the possibilities.
The new die looks intriquing. I can’t wait to see other projects made with it. I’m glad there’s a “Dad” set too!
Just love your ideas, why can’t I think of something like this for the men in my life? I always struggle with masculine cards. Get tired of fish and golf. Love all the sets intro’d today.
I love how you have shown us Masculine cards and then the feminine equivalent. THis gives us a set which is truly versatile.
Fab
Lesley
I am blown away by that grunge set. Another I didn’t think I needed, but boy was I wrong!
The Grunge set will be perfect for my nephews-tweens and older. Can’t wait to see more.
You gals all “ROCK”
I would use these awesome sets for my grown son & stepson! Always LOVE any help I can get to create masculine cards and these new releases simply NAIL IT when it comes to that! THANKS so much; I’ll definitely be purchasing these!!!
Who knew, grunge can be so cute!! I am in love with the different elements of the set, and the father set is just perfect! I just love the “the best Dad” sentiment in the 4th card, perfection!
Your cards are so inspiring, thank you!!
I have been wanting to try a bit of the grunge look since it is so perfect for teen cards but have been afraid to take the plunge. These sets look perfect for my first try and now I’m anxious to get my feet wet!
Fantastic cards and great stamps!
I’m currently in the process of “trying” to add some masculine cards to my stash and I’m having a very hard time. These sets would work perfectly! It seems like I have mostly flowers and all things girls! Thank you for helping make it easier to make a card for the “men” in my family (big and small)!
Love these cards and the masculine set. Masculine cards are always a struggle for me.
Oh. MY! What you can do with these stamps — your samples … all of them … are wonderful!
Each month I am amazed by the new sets. These sets will make creating cards for males so easy. Love them.
You do one layer cards like no other. So creative!
Loved your cards and your ability to showcase the same card in two totality different uses. Love the grunge elements…that corrugated stamp would be my fav! A whole new look of distressed!
Awesome as always!
There is nothing I want more right now than these two sets. Sooo many possiblities…
That grunge set looks pretty cool, love the paint splatters.
I don’t really know who I’d make projects for with this set, but they are still such beautiful examples. Your one-layer cards are so inspiring, especially with the Think Big sentiments. I do not know if I would buy these sets (although trust me, there are plenty of others to go into my cart in their place), but it would be a real treat to win them just so I could experiment!
It is so exciting to see so many sets focused on our favorite “males” in the family. Great way to make them stand out.
Great sets. I wish I could have them all. Very nice projects. Keep up with the good work.!
Masculine cards are always challenging. These sets will make it easier to create amazing cards. Thanks for the inspiration.
The samples again make me want these sets!
I love all the projects today, they are fantastic. So many possibilities.
I would make cards for my dad.He always seems to get left out of the card giving. I love the corregated cardboard stamp.
I am liking the simplicity of the the “you rock” cards – quick and versital
The grunge set is definitely coming to live at my house! I can see many great cards for my two boys, ages 7 and 9. I’m looking forward to several sets that appeal to me!
Linda
I just love the background stamps which means a multitude of combinations. I’m always lacking for just the right DSP so this will go a long way to eliminating that problem. Tks for sharing, love your products!
WOW!!! Looooooooove the Grunge Me set!!!
The samples are FABULOUS!!!!
Wow! I love that Grunge Me set! Fab cards! 🙂
These sets will make it so much FUN to make masculine cards … can’t wait!
I really didn’t think I would be interested in My Hero, My Dad since I lost my Daddy a few years ago…
would buy it a million times over if it meant I could have him back though.
But with all the other elements that have been included…
it’s going on my list…
for love-of-my-life-man-that-I-married…
my little loves-of-my-life…
even for friends and relatives in service
Beautiful, beautiful cards.
Thanks so much for the inspiration.
These are absolutely amazing. I have the hardest time coming up with guy cards. Wow.
What an absolutely beautiful assortment of cards! Each really shows the versatility in each set! So excited! 🙂
I must not have been the only one asking for masculine images, particularly teen oriented. Can’t wait for the reveal on these!
Just gotta say – another amazing presentation! You have made these stamp sets very desirable just with your sample cards! Hope, hope I win! Sandy
THis is so inspiring! I’m learning a lot about desing from you ladies! Thanks!
Grunge me looks like it will add so much fun texture and style to projects! My 4 little boys will think I am so cool if I can re-create these fun teen trends into projects for them!
I love all of the samples shown today but especially how you showed a masculine sample and then a neutral or feminine alternative. I have many brothers-in-law and nephews, so I can see lots of uses for these.
And here I thought that a masculine-themed month would be less expensive for me! I love the grunge elements and all of the layering possibilities. Thanks, too, for showing color variations of the cards. It’s amazing how different they look. I’m looking forward to getting Grunge Me together with Distressed Stripes,
I’m amazed at how you take a style that normally wouldn’t appeal to me and alter it so that I like it! I also like that new Alpha-blocks die – can’t wait to see more of that!
Grunge Me is a direct challenge to me to think outide of the box! I never in a million years thought I would be able to create a card with this theme. Grunge Me is so creative and I think I will actually be able to pull it off! I love it.
These sets are a lot more versatile than I originally thought. Your artwork is beautiful, and I am excited to play with these!
These sets are so missing in the crafting world! I can’t wait to get my hands on them!! Love the cards you made:)
LOVE LOVE LOVE these sets!! I am so excited for this release – I have all men in my life, so these will be perfect additions to my PaperTrey arsenal 🙂
I love the Grunge Me set. It looks so universal with building backgrounds and for so many men in my life, I could use this no problem. I have my Great Grandfather, Grandfather, Father, Husband, and 2 sons. Boy oh Boy, I think I could get real inky!LOL Thanks for the chance to win!!!
Holy cow…once again, I’m in awe of all the craftiness goodness. 🙂
I love the Grunge elements set. I so often feel like my cards need just a little something along the edge that’s not necessarily a focal point but adds to the overall look. This looks like it would fit the bill. Thanks for all the amazing cards. Your style is always inspiring!
I love all of the sets. I am so excited for these boy sets since I am surrounded by boys. Boy sets are not as much fun to buy as girl sets, but with PTI that is not the case. I cant wait to get my hands on these.
Oh I love that grunge set! I looove the paint splatter and the corrugated stamp especially!
I, certainly, am not into grunge but with 7 grandkids between 10 and 15, they ARE!!! These new sets would solve my yearly pile of what-to-do for birthdays and other celebrations for all of them. The color block card for your dad is sensational! Love that…
When you asked a while back what we would like to see in stamps, I said I really liked the graphics on guys Tshirts and had tried to create something like them without much success…..Tiffany must’ve seen inside my head because she couldn’t have designed the Grunge Me set any more perfectly. It is exactly what I have been looking for!!!!! Nicole your cards are awesome. I can’t wait to get my hands on these sets—Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
what a cool set with so many possibilities!! Love that grunge set background 🙂
I think I would use these sets to create cards for some pretty cool female friends of mine! I LOVE the way the sets can be done with softer colors or vibrant pinks and oranges to make them feel so different. The cards you made are so cool, Nichole!
Love, Love, Love, the grunge set!!! REally versatile and cool.
Well so much for me having a catch up month. You have amazed me once again Nicole. I love how you combine elements from different sets. I stuggle everytime I sit down to make a masculine card. These sets will make it so much more enjoyable. They can be used for any age and for girls too! Wow..off to a great release.
Ok, these sets are way cool! I love your examples using them! I would get a lot of use from these sets making cards for my husband, step son, and my 3 teen nephews! I especially love the grunge images with the splotches and circles! I would get endless uses from these sets! Thanks so much for the chance and inspiration!
The grunge set is definitely versatile! I was not sure I liked it until I saw how the other DT used it in various feminine colors. Wonderful!
Of course my fave right now is the flower fusion! Simple love these little sets!
I echo the sentiment of a poster who says that grunge has frightened her. Thanks for the step by step details of how to do it. They are all great!! I hope that you introduce Guidelines 3 paper (for rectangles) sometime in the near future. I particularly love your stamped background paper and doubt that I could get it as straight as yours.
Although I thought this might be my “catch-up” month, was I wrong!! I might have known, as you always show the versatility of the stamps you bring to market.
Thanks for an opportunity to win some. 🙂
I can already tell this is going to be an amazing release! I really really like the grunge images… and the corrugated! Perfect for my brother, sister, father, friends, everything! Thanks for the great chance to win as always too 🙂 Papertrey is the best!
HOLY MOLY! Your samples are A-MAZING! You really nailed it with these stamps. I am in love with the sayings from the My hero, my dad set. Simply perfect.
I really like the Grunge Set & the Corrugated Stamp from the My Hero, My Dad set. I can really see myself using the Grunge Set on those males cards. Now, if the Corrugated Stamp had just been included with the Grunge Set…it would have been perfect 🙂
So excited about the masculine sets this month! With a hubby and 3 boys in the house, these will be must have sets!
Love Love Love the Grunge set! czan see myself using it alot as well as the my father my hero set! great cards!
I like the background-y type images! They are flexible enough to have uses beyond masculine cards–yay!
Love the grunge stamps! They would be perfect for teen birthday cards and for scrapbooking!
wow… these cards are exceptional. I love everything grungy and this set is truly amazing.
I had my shopping cart full and ready to go… Until I saw the images this morning! Now I am going to wait so that I can add the grungy and Dad/hero sets to my cart. I was thinking that I didn’t really need to get masculine stamps because my husband and two little boys aren’t into the card thing anyway… but the sets are really versatile! Love, love, love it!!!!!
You certainly know how to show the magic of your sets! Looks like the grunge stamps can be used with almost anything…love how you’ve created backgrounds for your sentiments and how Betsy kissed her love bug to create a perfectly different and masculine style. So clever!
I knew I was going to want a set or two when i heard about the theme, but so far I “need” them all an it’s just day 1.
I love how so many of your projects have grunge elements, but are still so clean in design, with lots of white space. Great versatility!
Love the fun colorful cards and the fun grunge look!
I am just loving these stamp sets!! The elements from the grunge set could be used for just about anything, and I just love how fun and fresh they are!! And they can totally be paired with all the different sentiments we already have in our PTI sets…and I love being able to mix and match!!
Love these stamps! It’s so hard to find stamps to use for guys and these are perfect!
What a wonder ful set. Great for all the men in my life. Wonderful projects
Wow! These cards are fantastic!
I am really excited about the Grunge Me set, it looks like it will add tons of fun elements and texture to cards! Very cool!
I have 2 boys, one a teenager and one five and a girl in the middle! I know these sets will be great especially for my 13 year old, but I think I’ll be using them for lots more!
These stamps will make it a lot easier and faster to grunge things. A really nice set of cards, and you make it look so do-able!
I am in big trouble because I want all those stamps! I can’t wait to see more. Your cards are amazing.
Once again you have put a perfect PTI spin on a new concept! Thanks for this much needed style!
I love the possiblities with these sets! Your examples always leave me itching to go play with paper…thank you for that!
I love the look of these sets! So versatile… and easy to build your own patterns in personalised colour choices too 😉
Thanks for the chance to win, hugs, Ruth S
I am not a grungy sort of person but I would like to try it. It would be easy to get started with these stamps. Your cards are great. Where do you get your inspiration?
I have been looking forward to this all week. What a great start to the launch. i love all of what i have seen. i
think like many of your customers my biggest gap is for men and teens; this will definately help fill my hole!
MERCI!

ooh, I’m really loving the grunge look. It could have have so many different uses and could easily be used for cards for males or females. Can’t wait to see the rest of April’s release!
Even though there are no boys, dads or grandfathers in my family right now, I am loving that grunge set and the My Hero, My Dad, too. Nichole, you and the PTI design team have made everything very appealing. I think I’m going to have the same struggle selecting sets this month, too 🙂
These male-focused cards are awesome but I love how you showed that the same layouts can be used for other cards. I also love when you show what you’ve done to the inside of a card. I love adding stamping to the interiors of my cards. Thanks for some great inspiration today!
Just when I think I’m safe from some sets, Nichole comes and dazzles with her creations. My dad, father-in-law, and all grandfathers have passed away, so I did not think I needed My Dad, My Hero, but I so love the elements included with the set. As Nichole demonstrated, they can definitely be used for cards for anyone (as long as you don’t use the sentiments). And I love how they work really well with the images from Grunge Me (so much so that I wish the images were all in one set). I also love the card where Nichole combined Grunge Me with Modern Images – like they were made for each other. I have 2 boys, so I’m looking forward to the rest of the release. I hope I win one of the prize packages – otherwise, I may have to hit the “I Want It All” button.
Stunning, as always! I promise to give these sets a good home (if I am lucky enough to win!)… 🙂
Really loved the many cards you created with this new grunge set Nicole. VERY versatile/flexible set. Who would I make cards with this set? It would be perfect for my grown up step-son, grandson, nephews, and ANY teenager would love this kind of a card! Great inspiration.
Let me just say…I ADORE the grunge set! Wish I could order it today!
Fantastic, Nichole!!! I’m excited to get my order placed and it is only the first day of the count down! AAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!
I love the manly sentiments and look. Thank you for all your creative inspiration!
I have like ZILCH when it comes to masculine stamps sets and I like the versatility in this! I really like the patterns and I appreciate how you showed how just a change in color could make something go from boy to girl!
Love all the cards today! They are so creative and I love how they can work for both boys and girls with the background sets depending on the colors you choose to use. I also really like how many parts have a background component.
I didn’t think these stamps were for me and my style, but I’ve totally changed my mind. I love how you showed to layer and to use color. I guess I pictured a rough looking black and dreary card, but this has the grunge style with lots of life. I would use these sets for masculine birthday and holiday, but also for general encouragement cards regardless of gender. I love the My Hero My Dad set. Every stamp would see ink! Thanks for the chance to win! I need them:)
I’m so excited to see some boy stamps!! It’s harder to find boy images out there I’m loving these from PTI. I also love how you’ve shown how a simple change of colors can make a stamp set go from boy to girl!
Your creativity is so influential. Didn’t think the Grunge Me sounded like anything I could use, but you proved me wrong. You always show how versatile these sets can be. Looking forward to more on the alpha-blocks die as well as other new releases. Just stunning showcasing by all.
Amazing!! I did NOT think I would be interested in the Grunge Me set from the peek, but you, Nichole, have won me over with these AMAZING cards! So inspiring!
These are fabulous stamp sets for masculine cards. I love the abstract “grunge” images done up in all of the different colours!
Love the grundge look…works for so many different creations. Not just for the guys. Anxious to see what else is new.
I love Grunge Me! I thought it was going to be one I could skip, but after seeing today’s gorgeous cards and some of those great images, I need it for sure!
These ideas are all amazing! What a great set for masculine cards and SO MUCH MORE!! 🙂
LOVE! It is so nice to see Masculine sets that are actually useable! The struggle for those masculine cards will get MUCH easier!
Thanks so much
Susan
I love the grunge set – so “in” right now! All of the cards are so great, but I am over the moon about your My Father, My Hero card – so awesome!!!
What great cards! Thanks for coming up with these cool masculine sets.
I’m loving the options with the Grunge Me set and I really need a set to make dad cards…these are perfect.
What a great set! I highly doubted that a grunge set would be one that I would like, but WOW! It is so versatile. . . guy or girl, bold or subtle, new or old. .. .great fun! I really like that it can be used on cards for either guys or girls!
Your cards are amazing! The stamps sets are amazing ~ how you girls keep coming up with such brilliant designs I’ll never know but I’m grateful you do !!!
Loved the cards today. Thought I didn’t need these sets but have decided I definitely do. The sentiments can be used for anybody not just a Dad. Love It! Looking forward to seeing what the other designers do with these sets (so I can copy them all)!
Wow, I just love the grungy look of your samples. They’re great inspiration for creating groovy masculine cards.
I wasn’t sure the grunge set was for me but I love the way you used the designs in the soft colors for the friend card! Helps to see it in a new light!
Wow, interesting combinations of sets and styles…
Nichole, I really liked and appreciated how you flipped colors and sentiments in your samples today. It was great to experience the endless possibilities with these sets when it would be so easy to keep a ‘male only’ mentality… The pattern building looks very fun with these sets and I can’t wait try it out myself. Thank you!
I’m so excited to have some stamp sets geared towards males! The card examples are awesome:)
wow… look at those cool sets and all the wonderful inspiration!! {no chance of a month off here I am afraid!!!}
Robin
WOW!!!! Everymonth, I sit here hoping I can go without some of the sets, but AS SOON as countdown starts, I NEED THEM ALL 🙂
Thank you for another great start to release 🙂
I loveee love Grunge Me! Awesome cards today Nichole, as always. I always enjoy the countdowns just to see your fabulous work. Thank you for sharing your talent and inspiring me to do so many things!
Such different design elements and great sentiments. I’m goin’ love this release!
Love that corrugated background stamp! Wow…the images truly invoke masculinity without the usual cliches. Well done!
This release is right up my alley! Being the Mom of 2 boys, sister to 3 brothers and wife to a cool dude (if I do say so myself) – I am surrounded by men! I LOVE that the My Hero, My Dad set includes the sentiment “Papa”; that is what my boys call their grandpas. The Grunge Me set looks so versatile – I would use that to make cards for my girlfriends too!
Oh my – I am in love! I have many nieces & nephews – all teens. The grunge set is awesome. I have been wanting a good “guy” sentiment set and I love with what I see in the My Hero, My Dad set.
Nichole – your first card rocks (ok, all of them do, but that one really is clever). I love how you used the alpha die to make the windows and then carried all the elements throughout the card. And thank you for showing how to use these images for feminine cards as well!
Thanks for showing the versatility of these sets just by changing up the colors – wow! The little bird looks awesome!
I LOVE the Grunge Me set! I have a 19 year old son and three nephews and I always struggle to make cards for them. This set is perfect!
I loved every card you made today, they just kept getting better and better as I read down your blog. Who would have thought that I would like that grunge set? Such a great set and SO happy to get that large “Hello friend”. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.
I love the Grunge Me set! This is exactly what I have been needing to go with some other stamps I have. I also love the corrugated stamp. So much for playing catch up this month:)
This is such a popular masculine trend right now and PTI is noticing and offering creative designs for us to capture in our cards and projects!
beautiful cards…can’t wait to see more.
Didn’t think I’d be interested in these stamps sets until I saw the last card. Love it and can see how truly versatile the set can be. Now I can’t wait to see what else you have in store this week.
I love the images and look of the “Grundge Me” set. I think this could be used in so many fun ways!
Love love love the Grunge Me set – my son is a teen now so this is perfect for birthday cards and gift card holders! Can’t wait to try it out!!
When I saw the first sneak peek for this set I was not excited because I don’t do grunge. *edited to add* I WANT TO DO GRUNGE!!!!
Your cards always do such a good job of highlighting the new stamp sets. I loved the grunge…surprisingly so!
I think the grunge set is perfect for all kinds of projects…love the sentiments you’ve showcased so far.
Ohhh I’m lovin your grungy cards …. perfect for those hard to make bloke cards!
What fabulous cards. They certainly pack quite a punch.
Oh my, where to begin. First let me say that after learning that most of the stamp sets this month were geared toward men, I didn’t think I would be buying too many this month, but then after seeing the projects today, I have totally changed my mind. I absolutely must have My Hero, My Dad. And I just love Grunge Me. I have college age kids and can see using that set in making cards for them. Can’t wait to see what else is in the lineup.
Today’s projects are wonderful examples of what can be done with masculine sets! The patterns will be perfect for making backgrounds too.
LOVE all the cards…and these sets are a must have! As a mom of 2 boys it’s always difficult to make cards for them and the hubby. Can’t wait to see the other releases!
Nichole, you and Tiffany rock! I love this set! And your cards as always are fantastic. This is a must have set for me.
I love the sentiments on the “The Best Dad” card, but love the look of the “My Father, My Hero” card.
very, very nice! Love all the background graphic stamps.
I love all these sets! I’m always blown away by what the design team does!
I love each and everyone of these creations…such wonderful sets as all cards for males are hard..you have made it look so easy! The grunge set is very versatile. Thanks
This is a fabulous release! I have 3 sons and have such a hard time making cards for them – I see definite possibilities in these stamps!
Cool male cards! These look great!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! These 2 stamp sets are amazing! I live in a house full of boys and I have a father and brothers…finally! Exactly what I have been waiting for!
Love, love, love these! I am always looking for more ideas for masculine cards and these are perfect!!
I was thinking that I was going to get a month off this time because I dont tend to make may masculine cards…and I sure was wrong! Especially that Grunge me set.
OMG, been waiting for male sets and now GRUNGE…oh wow, oh wow…these are MUST HAVE sets for me. Definitely going broke this month! Thank you PTI!
Grunge is great for masculine cards. Love all the great cards. I have always had a difficult time doing masculine cards.
God bless,
PeggyS
What great new stamps to fill a void in the PTI line. You have shown just how versitle they are.
I am so excited about the grunge set. I have 2 boys and this will be great for their cards.
I think my favorite is the first card. I really like the way you filled in behind the blocks with colorful paper. The color scheme is striking.
I love how you showcased the versatility of the male grungy look. Not only is it perfect for the guys but with the change of colors this stamps can be used for girls as well.
Just beautiful projects today Nichole. I’m surpising myself by how much I’m liking the grunge stamps. Very cool.
Awesome!! I am loving all the new masculine sets and know I will reach for these over and over!!
the spatters, distressed images and the color combinations! Wow. What fun is going to be had creating with these sets. I can’t wait to make a few things for my son! He will love these images. Thanks for always providing us with great ideas to get our imaginations flowing.
I have a big gaping hole in my stamp collection – this gorgeous set of new released would fill that quite nicely and help me on my way to making some great male family and friends cards!
My bank account is getting nervous for this months release!! I think I’ll have to order it all!!!! Please let me win something!!!!
I love this grunge set!!! It’s simply awesome!!
I can never have too many masculine sets.. these will be fun for kids and nature too..
Love all the ideas so far.. should be a great release!
All these masculine sets are to die for!!!! Love your cards Nichole, as always!!! You’re an inspiration….
I love the grunge look, but usually can only create that style using digital elements. Thanks for this stamp set. Now I can add a little grunge to my scrapbook pages.
My favorite part has to be the corrugated background stamp. I love the depth the image adds.

Love the cards and great set for Men. Love the new die
Always trying to find new ways to make man cards! This is great! Thanks for the incredible incentives to make cards!
I am amazed that when I think there is nothing for me one month that I find it is right on the money…my money…gone but I love my stuff.
Oh, how I struggle with cards for guys. Thank you for filling this void in my stamping arsenal! Hopefully getting these will make that task a little easier.
Wow…all of the card samples are fabulous! I really like the Grunge Me set!! I love how – with just the change of ink colors – you made the You Rock cards so different!
Only recently discovered Papertray Ink and love what I’ve seen so far. Love the grunge set – so versatile.
I’ve had my eye on the grunge style stamps in the Stampin Up catalog for quite some time. I think they will be great for birthday cards and mini-scrap books. My hold off is because the SU set is so much more expensive, and I’m trying to minimize my “wood block” stamps and focus on the acrylic due to space issues. So glad to see this come to PT! Count me in!
How creative and fun! Thanks for showing the versatility in these great stamps!
“Grunge” is not really my style, and I don’t have a male parent or grandparent anymore, but I LOVE these sets! They will be great on scrapbook pages about my favorite male people, and are perfect in ‘girly’ colors for cool nieces and girlfriends. And I love that little bird- it will be appearing on many cards in my near future!
I was one of your fans who was looking forward to a month to “catch up”. . .well, you’ve changed all that! Nichole, these cards are amazing. The last one is my favorite, because I love its simplicity and the colors you used. I don’t have a need for a lot of masculine stamp sets, but I can see that these sets are versatile enough to work for many types of cards.
Oh gosh! You got me with the grunge set! And I love the way you used the feminine colors for a girl card! So many times grunge sets are geared toward the masculine!
Very grunge! Great first masculine set!
Love the cards and the fun images i can use to make cards for my sons.
I love the sentiment in the first card. So true!!
I’m excited with these new sets offered! I’m especially excited there will be a stamp that says “PAPA”. This is what my kids have always called my dad and it has been hard to find it in a stamp! I can use this one for ALL occasions! 🙂
Oh, wow!! I really thought this would be a *light* month for me. But I already see that My Hero, My Dad will be going into my cart. What an incredibly versatile set!
I really love all your examples of today’s countdown stamps!! After getting a second and better look at just what these stamp sets include and can create I will seriously have to rethink my belief that I wouldn’t want any of this month’s stamps. I really like the grunge set, I liked how you showcased a masculine and feminine card by just changing the ink you used.
Wow. These sets really offer a new way of thinking about masculine cards.
Oh my goodness, Nichole!!! Your cards are magnificent!! You have certainly opened my eyes as to what to do with Grunge Me. Amazing work with My Dad, My Hero also.You worked magic and now I am so excited. I can hardly stand waiting until the 15th. I think I’m going to combust,lol. TFS.
Oooh! I really need this stamp set with my hubs deployed.
I don’t usually make masculine cards, but I love the grunge look and how you applied it in so many different ways! Great cards!
Wow!!! I wasn’t sure I’d need these sets when I saw them during the peak, but you have officially changed that! These are so great for masculine cardss – will make this challenging card-making task a breeze!
Oh wow!!!! Finally things for boys, I have got to get all of these.
Love that grunge set. It would be perfect for all of my teenage relatives!
I love your ideas Nichole. I wouldn’t have thought to use these types of stamps in such different ways. I’m in a house full of boys so I have many opportunities to use masculine sets.
Each month when I watch your previews, I keep wondering how you continually have so much inspiration to give us! These sets are so much fun and I would send cards to my sons, son-in-laws, and my husband. I also have seven grandsons so these sets would be used.
Great manly cards and great stamps, a winning combination!
Wow! I’m going to be honest, when I first read that this month was devoted to men/boys I was kind of disappointed and figured I would be filling in my wish list from previous months on this order but WOW! I love both of these sets! The Grunge Me backgrounds are awesome! I can’t wait to make a Father’s Day card for my hubby with that in combination with the My Hero, My Dad since he’s serving in the Air Force. What wonderful ideas and sets!
These new sets are definitely ones that were
missing from your collection. They fill an
important need and are also so versatile.
This will be a great release.
Wow!! What fabulous masculine cards – can’t wait to get my hands on these sets now that I have all of this inspiration 🙂
Love, love, love!!!!!!!! These are a must have in my male dominated household! 🙂
The grunge set looks like it is going to be a lot of fun. Wonderful projects today, as always.
Oh man (no pun intended), am I ever in trouble!! I absolutely LOVE grunge and know my two teenage grandchildren will love it also. No dads or grandfathers here, but might have to get My Hero, My Dad JUST for the corrugated pattern! Ha, that would be one EXPENSIVE stamp!!
My favorite is the Grunge set, but I also love the My Hero, My Dad set, too. LOVE the corrugated stamp! I’m so excited about the masculine sets coming out this month cause I have 2 boys and we’ve just had 2 little baby boys in our family.
Love these masculine sets so much!!! What I really LOVE is the versatility to easily turn your project into a feminine beauty. Genius!
Wow, these are cool new sets! I can think of tons of ways to use them. Layering those grunge elements would be SO much fun. Great ideas!! 🙂
What a great couple of sets!!
I always struggle to make scrapbook pages for my pre-teen son. You can only use stars and arrows on scrapbook pages for so long, before you start to tire of them. This new Grunge Me set will be so fun to play with! I can see it not only on cool scrapbook pages, but also on birthday cards, tags and gift card holders. Yea, PTI!!!
Fabulous projects that really sell these stamps! The corrugated cardboard stamp is my favorite.
Those grunge elements are so cool. Can’t wait to see the rest of this release.
PERFECT!!!! i dont have much stuff for males
Men cards are hard to create. Mine is not the grunge (?) type …so trying to find some balance between that and the all those sport images is hard. These are looking more metro male…sophisticated. Thanks for your design take.
That Grunge Me set is just so great for cards… I especially loved the Grandpa card that was featured! Thanks for sharing, and for creating such amazing stamps!
Wow! Fabulous cards! I love the ‘window’ die! My mind is racing thinking of all the things I can do with it!
I love the grungy-type images in these sets. There are some neat shapes and sentiments. I am intrigued with the Alpha-blocks die and can’t wait to hear more about that!
I love this set! Even if I don’t win it it’ll go on my “to buy” list.
I was just searching for masculine sets last night! LOVE that grunge set – it looks like it would be perfect for all sorts of cool, retro, modern cards! 🙂
Definitely a must-have!
~Kendra
I love the masculine set, great for those manly cards.
The first card I would like make with this set is for my stepdad…..he’s the most wonderfull man in the world to my mum and his 3 stepkids and 3 grandchilderen.
Thank you for a chance to win.
Love the grunge! So trendy right now. I also love that you can use these sets for so many more occasions.
My Dad is no longer alive, but I am lucky enough to have my daughters married to wonderful men, so I will be making Father’s day cards for them as they are great Dad’s for my grandchildren!! Love this set!!
Awesome examples! When I saw the sneak peeks earlier, I was kind of like, what am I going to do with masculine stamp sets? But I like seeing how versatile the stamps are when used in other projects.
Love, love, love todays sneaks…especially the grunge set. Lots of ideas flowing…can’t wait for the release.
Charmaine
Loved the design on the grandpa card…the colors are so clean and crisp!!!!
awesome sets! you guys rock!
Wow, your projects are amazing. I wouldnt know what to do with those stamps at first glance, now you have opened up a whole world of possibilities. LOVE it!!
I would make cards for my brother, husband and male relatives but also having seen the versatility here and the other blogs you could make cards for anyone! 🙂
Sometimes when you go to make a card for a man you go through your sets and all the flowers and flourishes don’t seam to make the cut. It is fun to see cards for the boys.
Wow, you did a great job of designing cards for these stamp sets. I like how you showed how versatile they can be.
Love today’s intros, the cards ar fantastic! Once again, endless possibilities. Finally a masculine based stamp set that can be used for so many occassions and for all the men in our lives. Very creative. Definitely a must have set.
I would love these sets. My son is 11 years old and about too old for the cutesy cards I make. These samples would be perfect for him, as well as his Dad!
Oh I’m loving all the masculine stuff going on this month. The grunge me set is in my basket for sure. I’ve been wanting some boyish splats and such for ages. Fab stuff!
I love the masculine sets and how versatile they are – not just sports/animals like most of them are. The CAS cards you made are so creative.
I love the Star dies, they are really adaptable for masculine cards; and also the sentiments…perfect; just what my collection is in need of.
Stunning samples!!! The sets are so very different and I can’t wait to see the entire sets! They would definitely fill a void in my collection 🙂
Love these colorful creations! I really need some manly stamps in my stash. Everything I have is just dripping with lace, flowers, and pearls. Looking forward to the rest of April’s release.
With a family full of girls, I wasn’t sure about this month’s theme, so I’m really excited to see how the designs are interpreted for more than boys. Some of the background accents are really unique, and I’m smitten with that rainbow card and the cutout star. I’m pretty sure Nichole and her team could sell ice to eskimos.
The Grunge is very cool. This will be great for scrapbooking teens, men, sports…
These new stamps and the cards you made with them are fantastic! I just love the grunge elements — it’s perfect for teen cards (and I need a lot of those right now). I think I need this one!!
These are wonderful sets so far. I love the texture of corrugated cardboard stamp. The sentiments for the men are just great!
Can’t wait to see what is in store,
Marla
These sets are absolutely fabulous. I am totally in love with the grunge stamps and what you have done with them ….WOW!
I love the grunge look. That set is awesome!
These will fill the “missing man” hole in my collection. Most male oriented stamps, until now, seem to consist primarily of fishing, cars or nature. Those images simply don’t fit the men in my life. But I also love the idea that by simply changing colors and sentiments, I could use these sets for women too! How cool is that.
I would make cards for my Dad, my Brother-in-law, and most of all my nieces! Love the grunge!
Thank you, thank you for focusing on masculine cards this release! Great job showing us just how versatile the grunge set can be. Love your color choices!
What a fabulous line up of inspirations! PTI, you so rock my stamping world. 🙂
I really like how you showed how a masculine set good be girly, too!! Thanks for all the inspiration and the chance to win!
I love these sets! I am surrounded by boys (and men) and I love Betsy’s use of the My Hero, My Dad set as a military/patriotic, as I am surrounded by soldiers, too. I see many great uses with both these sets!
masculine cards are always challenging, but these sets will definitely help to ease that. plus they are versatile enough to use in other ways. thanks for all the inspiration.
While I don’t see myself using all the stamps in this set, there are some pretty awesome ones that could be used anytime. What a nice job on your cards.
I really like the corrugated background and fun lines and dots. The possibilities are endless!
Wow! What a cool masculine set!!! Your cards are so inspirational and colorful!!! I also love the window die.
I love these masculine images–I live in a household of men so these are must haves!! Great Inspiration so early in the April Release!
Love the samples you made with the grunge set and can’t wait to see more!
I loved the versatility of the sets! They’re for boys/men but can easily be changed up to use for anyone! Great job once again!!!
Having neither a father nor sons, I thought there’d be very little for me in these sets but I’m pleasantly surprised! I can see myself using the grunge sets to make some great cards for my friends.
How could I pick! I absolutely love all of these cards. I struggle with “guy” cards and these are all wonderful and so versatile. Thanks for all you do!
Wow – these sets have lots of great designs for adding texture & depth without creating layers. And some great sentiments. Can’t wait to see more.
Wow! I just love all these manly sets! What incredible cards they will make! So many mix and match options, and they are versatile enough to be used for girls too!
Your samples really show how the average stamper can use these new kinds of sets! I didn’t think I’d gravitate toward many of the offerings this month, but, boy!, was I wrong! I think I must have the Grunge Me set!
Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Helen
Nicole, I love all of your examples. I love your style; these are cards I would make…simple and clean and beautiful. I especially love the Grungy set; it’s so fun and can definitely be used for masculine or feminine cards. Thanks for the chance to win.
Oh my, what lovely cards. I have a difficult time with masculine cards, so these are the perfect cute sets to use for these types of cards. I am in love with the Grungy Set.
Love your take on masculine cards…absolutely fabulous projects! Totally excited for this month’s releases.
The Grungy set looks so fun, for making layers and layers on all types of cards. Thanks you for all your beautiful examples. The possibilities are endless.
these sets are amazing! I’m totally in love witht he corrugated stamp. Too cool! These would be so fun to use for making cards for my boys and/or my husband, or any guy in my life, really. I think they’d be great for scrapbooking too!
OMG. This is my favorite stamp set to date and what a toss up btwn all the YOF. I live in a house of all boys so this is the absolute perfect stamp set for me. I am so excited to start creating with this set, come on April 15th.. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.
It never ceases to amaze me how your card samples sell the product…great job!
Great stamps and ideas for men are always needed, there never is enough. Thanks for the great ideas!
These are some awesome projects!!
OMG! I am loving the “graphic” design feel….Seriously these are AWESOME and can’t wait!!!!!!!
I love the “dad” sentiments and the new dies. I would love to make some Father’s Day cards with this set!
Love these grunge images. Perfect, I think, for teenaged boys!
Ah, Nichole. Leave it to you to make me think that I might need a set that I thought I would be able to forego (and get caught up on my wishlist!). By the way, thanks for the chance you gave everyone to catch up by winning their top five yesterday. Ironically, I have five old sets in my cart that I would’ve loved to win… but didn’t read yesterday’s post until 6:59 this morning (and on my phone, no less). Grrr. 🙂 Seriously, though, you’re the best!
I love all of your cards! I LOVE all the cute stamps you used from the Grungy set as well as the corrugated stamp. I will definitely want to add these to my collection. Thanks for sharing and for your generosity with the give-away.
Nice! These images are so much more than just for guys and the sentiments are so thoughtful. Love the filled and outlined words. Great twist! Thanks for a chance to win!
all the projects are awesome! I especially like that grunge set….
This is such a wonderful set! I love all cards here too. TFS.
I really love all these cards you created! The grunge look is great and I like all the graphic elements. Can’t wait to see more!!
I thought I could sit back this month and not be buying masculine sets, but your sample show great ideas for this set. Just love it.
Ok, I thought this was suppposed to be my month “off.” Apparently not! I love these sets and they are so much more versatile than I originally thought.
To be honest, I didn’t think these sets were going to appeal to me. But after seeing your examples, I know I was so wrong! I love the Grunge Me set – and I have 3 nephews who all wear T-shirts sporting these designs. Not to mention my own 2 boys who are sure to wear them in a few years. So – yes – plenty of boys in my life, so that set would get lots of use.
Incredible samples. My hardest cards to make are for male family members. Thank you for addressing that aspect of card making.
Loved your cards! With a husband, 2 sons and 3 grandsons (6, 8 and 16), I will find many ways to use these stamps. Thanks for all the inspirations!
I love these more masculine designs. The “grunge” is a fun concept too. My favorite sample today was the grandpa card–the use of the grunge set with some touches of modern basics makes for a very contemporary card. The little bird is darling (but not too feminine!) on that card.
Nicole, your cards are so creative, as usual. I’d have to say that my favorite set here is Grunge Me. But I love the last card with the sentiment from ‘Through the Trees’… lovely!
Thanks for designing some stamps that are for the guys in our lives! Beautiful inspiration again today from all the designers!
these new sets really intrigue me. I love the possibilities you’ve shown us (and I’m super excited to see more)
Love the graphic nature of these stamps. Great for teens and men.
OMG – I need to get my hands on these for the men in my life. I’ve always been at a loss as to what to stamp for my husband and son. These sets are perfect!
Those are two very cool male sets! I also really like the new die that was used!
Just when I thought this would be a “light” month for my wallet, Nichole goes and does it again! WOW! I really thought I would not be needing too many of the “boy” type sets revealed this month, but Nichole proved otherwise – of course! I LOVE the way she showed the same stamps used one way for masculine and then just by changing the colors – BAM! A perfect card for ANYONE – not just boys! AMAZING! I bet Nichole could take mud and stamp something gorgeous with it – she is SUPER talented! Thanks for showing the versatility of these awesome sets (that I should know by now PTI stamp sets ALWAYS have!) I am really LOVING the corrugated cardboard stamp – way too cool!!
Oh, and I haven’t even looked at the other PTI DT’s projects YET! Sorry wallet, you are in BIG trouble! (again!)
Wow, you were sure busy, Nichole! Love everything you’ve shown today!!!
I didn’t think these were going to be stamps that I would want to get…but boy, was I wrong! Very creative cards!
Oh, my. I am speechless. Again . . . I have no idea how you do it, but month after month I am completely blown away! I cannot wait to make some grungy cards for my son and other boys. This is EXACTLY what was missing from my stamping arsenal. I cannot wait!!
these are all just fabulous! love the grunge looks along with these great guy saying! 🙂
Love the new stamps and awesome masculine and teen spin!
I love all the cards you created Nichole!! I have always struggled with cards for the men in my life, but with all the great releases this month, I think my troubles are over!! Thanks
These cards are fab! I’ve been hoping for some guy style stamps for ages!!
Totally NEED these sets!!! PERFECT for every guy and girl in ones life! Awesome inspirational cards…THANKS for that!!
I enjoyed the ideas for masculine cards. I especially liked the spectrum-style card. Thanks for a chance to win these great sets.
These look like such fun sets! Thanks for devoting this month to the boys!! 🙂
I love these grungy images! They are not only perfect for all the males in our family 9that totally dominate vs. females) but love how you showed to use them for the female friends and family in our lives!
I love the background images! sooo many uses for them.
one request: this may be a silly question, but is there an easy way to use a stamp (like blocks for the Dad card) with multiple colors without cleaning the stamp between uses?
thanks!
WOW, AMAZING love what you created with both stamp sets…this would be a must have stamp set for anyone’s collection….thanks for all the super ideas.
I love the grunge me set. Wow! That grandpa card is so fun. They’re all great projects!
Great versatility with these new sets! I love the line and dots stamp from Grunge Me.
These are incredible! I can’t tell you how excited I am about a lot of these sneak peeks! There’re plenty of boys in my life of all ages!
I should have known that even though I have no little boys I would still “need” all of these cuties!
It’s a good life!
Terri E.
I am LOVING the ink splatters. Such a cool hip look for some dad cards. I def. think this needs to be added to my collection. 🙂 Thanks for sharing and the chance to win!
Think I will find lots of use for these stamps. Dad, husband, son, sons-in-law, and FOUR grandsons. Yeah, I’ll find lots of use for these. Amazing.
I absolutely love ALL the cards! If ever there was a set I would NEED, this is it! Can’t wait to see more!
The best masculine cards I’ve seen… Love the Grunge stamps and also the sentiments on the Dad, My Hearo and My Father Knows Best stamp sets.
Love both these sets. So versatile – fresh, fun and unique. There’s something at PTI for everybody. No matter what your style!
Sooo much inspiration for those really difficult masculine cards. With a husband, father, brother, bil, 3 nephews and 2 grandsons, I think I can keep these stamps sets very inky! Love the “My Hero, My Dad & Grunge Me” sets…also the Seeing Stars dies are really fun. Plus,Nicole, your sample cards are such fabulous ideas to CASE ;o) Thank you for the chance to win!
Really liking the grunge stamps…
I needed some inspiration for Father’s Day, thanks for providing it. Love the stamp sets!
Awesome who knew grunge could look so good. Thanks for the design and inspiration for those cards most of us dread wonderful as always
You all never cease to amaz with the versatility! Love the girly version with pink and chartreuse!
I like both sets. The Grunge Me set would be perfect for Tweens and Teens. I can see making cards for both my niece and nephew with this set. I love the corrugated pattern and paint splotches layered!
Definitely liking what I see and looking forward to more of this dedicated-to-men countdown! So far, the grunge set it totally on my wish list!
I love these special Father’s day sentiments!! Sometimes I just feel it’s so hard to make a more masculine card, or even a Father’s day card. This set is just amazing for it!
Love the versatility of the stamps. ALWAYS love your products.
These sets are just what I’ve been waiting for. I have 19 men in my life as of now and 7 boys under 10 years, so that takes a lot of stamping. And since these sets are so versatile, I can use them for all the girls in my card world. Thanks for such fun sets.
These new sets are definately a different flavor from most of your previous sets, but definately fun! The ideas are already starting to flow… 🙂
Love the male focus this month. With 5 brothers it’s always hard thinking of new card ideas for them, so I’m loving what you’ve showcased today. (and love that it can be used for the girls too!) Looking forward to what’s coming over the next few days!
LOVIN’ the looks of that Grunge set! So perfect for making cards for my nephews who are into snowboarding!! Super hip and trendy!
Great sets for the wonderful men in our lives!
I really love the samples showcased this month – beautiful!!!!
I like how the retro style of My Hero, My Dad (especially the square blocks border) coordinates with the style of modern basics. I can’t wait to see more!
Although all the samples are fabulous, I loved the way Betsy grunged up the car from Enjoy the Ride! Those are the kinds of techniques I forget to use but make such a cool difference. I am so looking forward to this masculine release-I always avoid making masculine cards and these will give me something fun to play with.
Wow what FANTASTIC cards!! i’m totally in love with this set! It seems so versatile!! Thanks for the great inspiration!!
I love the masculine feel to these stamps. I have trouble making cards for males. I am excited to create with these. I really like the color schemes in the cards.
F A N T A S T I C ! ! !
This set is gorgeous! Love the masculine theme this month! Boys love to receive cards too!!
OOOH! I love the grunge look!! Fabulous designs Tiffany!
Absolutely LOVE the grunge!!! I was trying to make a card for my nephew yesterday & could’ve used this set. Can’t wait to get it!
I love the grunge stamps! I am always looking for new ideas for cards for the men in my life.
Fantastic sets and I love it! I have a house of teen boys and I come from a family of all boys, so I am often at a loss when it comes to cards for them. Flowers are cute, but it’s just not their thing. So thank you for filling this niche, I am totally buying them!
Love the grungy look! It will be fun to have a set or two geared towards the boys in my life. Your creations today were inspiring!
Sweet as! I like the My Father, My Hero card and I also like seeing how some of the layouts. like the son one, could have been adapted from using floral images to the grunge ones and work so well.
wow, both of these sets look awesome! They totally make me wish I had boys (instead of three girls), but I could so so so use them for brother, husband, father, in-laws, etc. Masculine cards are so tough when you don’t have manly stamps, but these would solve that problem!
Love the new stamps! I just got my 1st order of PTI stamps … and am already looking at what to order next 🙂
These cards are all so different, but share similar elements. I think I really like the new sets. I am especially intrigued by the grunge set.
wow really loving that grunge set – so versatile!
Love the Grunge set! They are all so versatile and edgy.
Your cards are simple and elegant…a look that I like very much! I like that they are geared toward the masculine crowd, as this is always a challenge. I especially loved the star kraft card. These sets look very fun!
I’m loving the new grunge textures! The corrugated, splatter, lines and dots – they are amazing! Looking forward to the rest of the peaks.
Wow…nice sets and examples…..
Both of these sets are great, and as usual the cards are so inspirational!
I LOVE these masculine sets – especially the grunge look!!! I love all the samples and also seeing great possiblities for teen girls with just a simple change of color combos!!!!!
Wasn’t sure how I would like these sets, but now that I’ve seen them in action, they are awesome! Great sample cards, as usual, and would fill a need in my stamp collection!
Every once in awhile, I see previews and think, oh, I won’t need that set. Then, the countdown begins and you ladies wow us again! I am very excited about these sets! The My Dad, My Hero will be great for my dad and my husband – love the phrases! The grunge set is the one I am most surprised by; I think this will fill an amazing void in stamping supplies to now be able to make cards for people like my teenage nephew, whom I usually feel won’t care for a homemade card. I love the samples – great job!
your aqua, moss & chartreuse card won me over for the grunge! i can see me using the lighter colors of the grunge as background for any card!
I love the new Grunge Me set. Perfect for creating cards for all the boys/men in my life!
Oh My Goodness–I do love the “Grunge Me” set!
Great cards and wonderful stamping sets. Even though they are geared for masculine, you can easily use them for feminine also. Really like the corrageted background stamp.
I have 4 boys and my husband to stamp for, so I can definitely see myself using these sets. Your samples are a great inspiration, Nichole!
I don’t know if I have a favorite sentiment from these 2 sets but I can’t believe how much I love the grunge splatter and corrugated background. I can see this adding so much to cards and scrapbook pages. Love it!
Love, love all your samples. The currogated background is awesome. I have 2 boys and do daycare for all boys, so as you can imagine I make a lot of cards for boys. Excited for all the stamps sets this month.
Every single one of these is sets is FABULOUS, and I love beyond words how you made so many of your projects in today’s post in a “dual mode”, showing how the same stamps can work for different themes and genders. Can’t wait to get these! You’ve blown me away once again!
Great new sets for the boys and men in our life! Lovin’ the possibilities.
Wow! These are so fun! I love that corrugated background!
I don’t make a lot of masculine cards but I can see so many uses for the grunge set. Definitely good to “man up” a card for any occasion. Great job.
I would love these sets. I have several guys in my life that would love a card made with these colors and stamp sets.
For some reason, masculine cards are always the hardest to make. These have got to be the best “masculine” stamps I have ever seen. They are fantastic not only for the men in our life, but for everybody. Thanks PTI for another wonderful release.
I love everything about this set. It makes great feminine cards as well!
You have really pulled me in to this month’s sets. I didn’t think I would be, but I can now see the many possibilities. I love all your cards. Perfect for cards for the troops too! Well done!
I can see myself using the grunge me set, love the graphics and splatters. I have twin twelve year old boys that would love to get a cool card made by mom, soo cool!
I am so impressed with your card samples, Nichole!! So creative and totally showcases the wonderful new masculine sets–I really love the background accents and all the fun possibilities with them!!
These sets are AWEsome! As the boys in my family age into tweens and teens, it’s been harder to make cards or craft for them, because “cute” isn’t appropriate anymore. I love the Grunge Me set for that. And the My Hero, My Dad set looks great too – that corrugated background? So cool!!
Thanks for sharing these awesome projects, and thanks for the chance to win!
Wow, I absolutely love this set and the fact that you can create manly looking cards and still twist the colors just enough to look great for girls as well.
This is a definite must have set for me.
Wow, these new sets are fantastic and much more versatile than just for masculine cards.
And wow, the cards are fantastic!
I love the elements in the grunge set! Very unique and cool! Thanks for also showing them in more than one color scheme to make them feminine. Beautiful! 🙂
HOT Diggity Dog!! 😀 SOOOO excited for these sets!! I can definitely use them for ALL of the men in my life, young, and not so young ;). Lovin’ the grunge elements, and the sentiments are great as well. Thanks for filling a void in my stamp collection!!
I am seriously loving these sets. I MUST have them. I love all of the different uses, and I love how you showed that these sets work great for girls, too. I will for sure be making cards for the the special men in my life (dad, grandfather, husband, etc.), and I can’t wait to use it on some scrapbook pages for our baby boy to be.
Oh I love the samples! I always have a hard time with the guy cards. Love the grunge, looks like fun!
Amazing sets!!! I have 2 sons, a husband, a dad, a brother and 3 brother’s in law, so I could really use these sets… BUT, what I LOVE the most, is that they could be use for girl cards as well. Love how you show the same card with two color combinations!!!
My favorite stamps are the corrugated background and the dots and lines image. I think they not only look great on your cards but also would be fun to use in an art journal!
These are so cool! I can see these will be fun to use to make masculine or teen cards. I especially love the first card!
I am really excited about this release!! I am in need of more male stamps!! Woo hoo!! Love what you have shown so far!
Oh, man these are awesome (pun intended)! I am the lone female voice in my household, living with my dear husband and two sons. I find making masculine cards sooo difficult, and these sets would make life so much easier. I especially love the layering look. Well done!
I love the masculine stamps and sentiments!!! Awesome projects to along with them!!
I knew there would be more uses for the “guy” stamps! That is what I really like about all the PTI sets, everything is so versatile.
WOW! what a great idea! Dad/son/grandfather sets! amazing! I love them all and as usual, your creations are lovely, they make me want all the sets just to be able to case your ideas!
i love the grunge set. I can already imagine the backgrounds I could make with, girl or boy.
Great creations using those sets! Love how you made two versions of some cards to show their versatility. The grunge is right up my ally!
I LOVE the cards that you’ve made, especially the first one & the last two. I didn’t think I’d like the”grunge” look, but once again, you’ve proved me wrong! And I definitely love your color combinations! PTI colors are THE BEST!
loving these images and sentiments. they are just what I’ve been wanting too. can’t wait to see more.
Thanks for ways to make nice male cards!
Cards for men are so much harder for me but I love what you’ve brought to the table this month. Love the grunge & the wonderful ideas you’ve created.
It’s very tough to make cards for the guys in our lives. You gave us so many wonderful inspirations! They look so simple and easy to make. Thank you again! 🙂
These cards are incredible! I love how you showed a very masculine card and then turned it around to be very generic. Wow! Wow! Wow!
Thank you for showcasing so many fabulous cards for the men in our lives.
I love all the projects! I would definitely use these sets to make cards for all the special men in my life. Everything is always so versatile. These sets are perfect for all the teens in our family. Thanks for a chance to win. Erin
Great guy card sets!!
Since I am surrounded by men in my house, I would love to get the chance to make some projects with these great new sets!!!
What cool cards! I’m not usually a grunge person, but these sets are tempting! Thanks for the chance to win.
Oh my word! These are really cool designs that I know would cause any guy in my life to appreciate card making.
Love the cards and the previews of the new stamp sets! I can’t wait to get my hands on these!!
It is great to see stamp gears towards mens, boys, and teens. The graphic stamps I am very excited to see the full stamp set.
Wow! I’d love to win!
As usual, you have hit a home run with these guy themed stamp sets. Way to go!
Love the grunge look on everything! I can think of many uses beyond cards for these new sets!
Love the grunge set… Perfect for those tweens/teens! So loving this release this month… Thanks for thinking of the men/boys/teens!
Wow, I love these cards and stamps! I could definitely use more stamps for the guys in my life. I also love how you showed that I could use these stamps for non-guy cards. Thanks!
So exciting…… Love this time of the month.
What a different feel to the release this month.
The grunge/distressed look is so fresh and something not found in the previous stamp sets. As a Mom of 2 teen boys this has such an appeal to me. Can’t wait. Let the fun begin!
I loved ALL the cards. Showing some in 2 completely different colours was great. Grunge me is my fav so far, a definate must buy, so much wonderful texture for jazzing up backgrounds.
What fun! I can see a plethora of uses with as many nephews, brothers, brothers-in-law, etc as I have! So happy it’s ‘guy time’ at PTI!
I love the corrugated image and the paint splatter image! I can see using those for so many different kinds of cards!! What a great way to add texture to a project!
Ooooh! Loving the grunge set – such a different style than I am used to from PTI. And soooo cool!
Seriously amazing… So masculine and so feminine… Just perfect!
Very interesting stamps in these 2 sets. I love the grunginess of the corrugated stamp which oddly enough is not in the Grunge Me set. The splatters look great on your samples too.
Thank you for the wonderful samples…you do such a great job, no matter what the stamp set is. I wasn’t sure about the grunge…but I love it now, after I see what can be done with it.
Once again, I will be lots of dollars less this month!! All for a good cause imho! Great stuff as usual.
I could use the grunge stamps to make cards for some young men I know in the military. One is a skateboarder who would definitely appreciate the grunge look!
From someone who is surrounded by men (big and small!) in my life, all I can say is WOW! I want it all! I can see me definitely clicking the “I want it all!” button for the first time ever this month! I absolutely adore everything I’ve seen today. Both the products and the projects. Love them!
Loving all the masculine peeks and creative samples so far. I have boys and these will be perfect. There aren’t that many sentiments/stamps that lean towards older masculine cards, these are perfect.
What fun masculine sets! Great for teenagers too!!
I’m sort of speechless. I can’t believe how amazing these sets are! The “integrity” sentiment on the dad card is fantastic and so accurate.
Im so glad this is a boy theme month. It really fills a hole in my stamping needs. My favorite card you’ve shown was the krafty My Father, My Hero. Fabulous!
Wow – I wasn’t sure about the grunge set when you previewed it but it is going on my wish list for sure – what a fabulous set. I have 2 elementary school-aged boys and I can see many possibilities for birthday cards here.
Interesting new sets! Really liking the grunge look!
I lI’ve these sets 🙂 I will be using them to make gifts for my friends for sure!!!
Thank you for an amazing start to another release
Wow, I am really drawn to all the images in Grunge Me. They are so cool! They will make the best teen/tween type cards and will also work well for things for my hubby and his friends too! And a big thank you for making all your samples in clearly masculine ways and less masculine or even feminine ways. It truly shows the diversity of these new sets!
With five boys, I cannot wait to get these masculine sets!
I adore that corrugated stamp! I think everyone does. I’m really impressed with the coordination with older sets and supplies. It always astounds me how you guys manage that!
Wow! These are great new sets. I love the grunge!
Love this new grunge look!! So fun!!!
These sets are perfect for masculine as well as teen projects!! But they are versatile enough for other styles too. I definitely need a set like this in my stamping arsenal!!
These cards are amazing! I loved the pattern made by combining the splotches, rectangle dots, and circles. Very grunge and perfect for any teen, boy or girl. That corrugated border stamp is a must-have. I can’t wait to get these sets into my hands.
wow…LOVE these new masculine themed sets! I love how we can customize the grunge ourselves and your card samples are fabulous!
Your samples are great. These sets are both so versatile. I had been hoping for some of the images and elements in the Grunge Me set and you have created them and even more. Can’t wait to see more!
wow, I have never attempted anything Grunge but this is really cool! I may have to try these out. Really neat cards too.
