2nd set of my Team’s awesome masculine swap cards


Yesterday I shared 4 of my Flowerbug's Team manly card ideas for our July card swap.  Today I have three more.  I'm so proud of them; it's obvious they really did their best to make incredible swaps.  

Today's first card was made by Candy. She used the Wildlife Wonder stamp set & Grassy Grove bundle seen here.   

Her colors include Soft Suede & Mossy Meadow.  Here are some tips on how she achieved this amazing card:

  1. Die-cut the tree & grass silhouette from White CS using the Grove dies. Trim to 5" X 3 3/4". 
  2. Stamp the bear on the background White layer (51/4" X 4")
  3. Stamp the grass image on the bottom of the die-cut.  
  4. Use the trio of trees image to stamp all over the 'foiliage' area of the die-cut using Mossy Meadow ink, stamping 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation of ink.  
  5. Use a blending brush to add more green as needed. 
  6. Sponge color to the edges of all layers. 
  7. Distress the edges with the side of your scissors. 
  8. Use a Soft Suede Blends marker to color the trunks.  
  9. Adhere the die-cut over the bear image. Add to the card base. 
  10. Stamp & add the greeting layer. 

Amazing, right?!!  So proud of you Candy!  

 

Next is another incredibly detailed card made by Roxann.  She used the Beauty of Friendship stamp set seen here. 

I love her corner details but the layer of vellum that softens her stamped trees background is amazing!  It gives an ethereal or foggy feel to the scene.  She used Mossy Meadow with Early Espresso ink & card stock.  

I love the triple tag detail on her greeting.  I believe that is from the Mini Pocket Envelope dies.  Such a unique & special card. 

 

Lastly for today is a pretty scenic card made by Deloris.  She used the Grassy Grove  bundle seen here.

Her colors include Old Olive, Soft Suede, White and a bit of blue for her sky.  I believe she used Blending Brushes for that soft background.  

Here's what's included in the Grassy Grove bundle.  

There are a lot of die-cuts here; in fact everything on the front is a die-cut!  The ground, trees & deer are all from the Grove dies.  The greeting is from Peaceful Moments and that die is from the All That dies.  

All are incredible cards for the men in our lives and I couldn't be prouder of them!  

Stay tuned for more masculine card ideas tomorrow and all this week!

  • Want to make a Bay Window card? It’s easy! Stamp with Me Live tonight at 7:30 pm CT!


    Tonight on my Stamp with Me Live we're making 'Bay Window' cards.  These are so fun and actually quite simple to make.  Scroll down to see the measurements.  

    You can watch the video here on my Facebook page.  If you're not on FB you can see it later when I upload it to my YouTube channel here.  *Don't forget to follow me!

    It starts out with a standard 4 1/4" X 11" piece of card stock. Add some scored lines and designer paper and you're halfway there!  

    For this first example I chose to use the Plentiful Plants bundle.  The Bloom Where You're Planted designer paper is on sale in July. You can see it here.  

    I used the Everyday Label punch for the greetings here.  There's an easy way to create a curved edge and a perfect layer.  Watch tonight to see how.  

    Here's the second version I made with the Beauty of the Earth designer paper.  It's also on sale too!  

    I used the same stamp set; Plentiful Plants for the greeting.  I did add a few pieces of the In Good Taste DSP here for the wood paper.  It works so well for nature themed cards.  

    Here's the video!

    Bay Window Cards Measurements:

    • Card base – 4 1/4" x 11". Score on long side at 3/8", 1 7/8", 3 5/8", 5 1/8", 5 1/2"
    • 1st DSP – 4 1/8" x 6". Cut in order at 1 3/8", 1 5/8", 1 3/8", 1 5/8"
    • 2nd DSP – 3 strips at ¼” X 4 1/8”
    • White inside 34 1/8” X 3 ¼”

  • Make up to 24 great cards with this easy layout!


    I created 24 wonderful but super easy cards on this week's Facebook Live video.  I featured the same template but switched it from vertical to horizontal for each set of 12 cards.

    I chose to use the new Pattern Party host Designer Paper because of it's versatility and fun color combos.  You can see this paper here. 

    I kept these cards super simple but you could easily add more layers if you'd like.  Here's a close up of two of my favorites:

    Above is Crushed Curry card bases paired with the adorable Pattern Party black and white side of this fabulous Designer Paper.  I used both the Friends & Flowers and the Sunny Sentiments stamp sets here.  The flowers are colored in with Blends markers. 

    Here are all of the landscape cards; I love this stamp & punch bundle!  

    And next are all of the vertical cards.  I stamped the flower image from the Friends & Flowers on either White or colored card stock and colored them in with either Blends markers or Wink of Stella; or both!  Simply add a greeting strip and some rhinestones.  So easy!  


    The above set of cards is the exact same layout as the landscape cards; just flipped vertically!  I love the versatility of this design!  This is the same designer paper as well, but on the colorful side.  The reverse is all black & white patterns.  

    The images are from the Friends & Flowers stamp set.  The greeting strips are about 3/4" X 3". 

    Think how quickly you could make a stack of cards using this easy layout!  Below is the video to get my tips and see the cards better. 

    Remember that my perk for ordering over $50 in July is a stack of twenty 4" X 6" Designer Paper that includes at least 12 sheets of this Pattern Party DSP.  It's enough to make all 24 cards shown and more!  And the  more you order the more free Designer Paper you'll receive!
