Special Guy + Delicately Woven + Baseball T + Just Sentiments: Everyday

April 26, 2022      Papertrey Ink      Leave a Comment

Are you ready for some fun!  Our new Baseball T Dies are playful, innovative, and such a party to create with.  They coordinate perfectly with our new Special Guy stamp set and dies and are so hard to put down once you start.  Let’s see some projects!

 

The Baseball T comes with three different pieces, including the neck and sleeves, bodice, and pocket.  There is also a cute, wooden hanger that you can choose to use as well, to give it a bit of a different look or create a fun hanging tag.  I chose to create a baby blue and navy tee for my first tag.

 

 

To embellish the front of my tee, I began with the Special Guy Stencil collection, stenciling on the trees and blue diamond.  I then stamped my die cuts and sentiments and adhered them to my tee.  It’s as simple and easy as that!  All that’s waiting is your creativity and imagination!

 

I used notebook paper to create the bodice of this tee, stamping my sentiments from Special Guy in two different colors.  You’ll love the ability to mix and match with this set.  I wanted to use the pocket on this tee, so I cut it from Kraft cardstock, stamped it and the sleeves using stars from Special Guy, and hung it on the tiny hanger.  All that’s left is to attach it to a bag of pistachios, almonds, package of gol balls, etc.

You’ll adore what our designers have created.  Their projects will surely delight and not disappoint!

Supplies used:

STAMPS: Special Guy

INK: Weathervane, Canyon Clay, Ripe Avocado, New Lear, Saffron Spice

PAPER: Kraft, Aqua Mist, Enchanted Evening, Simply Chartreuse

DIES: Baseball T, Special Guy

 

 

 

 

 

Our Special Guy stamp and dies not only coordinate with our Baseball T dies, but also stand alone perfectly on their own and create magical and unique cards.  You’ll also love incorporating in our new Delicately Woven die, which adds such a great masculine touch!

 

I used a Kraft cardstock background, and embossed it using the Border Bling Tin Stitch die.  I then stenciled on trees using the Special Guy stencils and added stars from Special Guy.  Doesn’t this resemble a forested, starry sky?

 

 

Consider creating windows where your Special Guy images and sentiments can take center stage.  I used the Border Bling:  Skinny Stitched Frame to frame in my #1 Dad stencils and images.  The Special Guy stamp set also comes with a small variety of secondary sentiments such as “Happy Father’s Day”, “Happy Birthday”, etc.  I added mine across the bottom in a coordinating color.  I can’t wait to make more of these cards, using this as my template.  Easy as can be and so enjoyable!

These next two photos using the Baseball T dies, the Special Guy stamps and dies, and the new Delicately Woven dies.  I used the Delicately Woven dies behind my tee, adding texture, dimension, and just a little added interest.  I LOVE this new die set.  I think it’ll work not only for masculine cards, but beautiful, florals as well.  The tiny airplane and “World’s Greatest…” might just be my most favorite images from Special Guy.  Truly so hard to pick just one.

You can see just a bit of the Delicately Woven dies behind my tee on this card.  I love using it as a subtle accent, but wait until you see what our designers have done, using it as a focal point….amazing!  Isn’t this a fun tee?  I would love one of these life-sized for my husband.

Your Father’s Day crafting is taken care of, don’t you think?  Relax and enjoy these stunning creations from our designers using this wide variety of new products.
