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!

  • New Product share & video tutorial on how to create sky through aspen trees


    Last week I shared a video highlighting the new products I pre-ordered from both the 2026 Spring catalog and the newest Online Exclusives. I also shared some swaps using new products including this one I made:

    This was made with a new stamp set called Aspen Grove. You might know I have a love for tree and leaf stamp sets so this was a definite ‘yes’ on my list. I made over 20 of these for my swap! But I like making multiples of cards I love.

    I chose Old Olive, Black and Balmy Blue as my colors here. I knew I wanted a blue sky between the tree limbs so I had to figure out a way to do that. Mmm…..

    Here’s what I did: I stamped the three tree limbs on a post it not and fussy cut around and between them. I then stamped on my White card stock and placed the post it note over the stamped image. Now I can add Balmy Blue ink over it all. Tip: I did add a bit more adhesive on the post it note but the best thing would be to use a post it note that is sticky all over (found at the office stores).

    After I added the blue sky with a blending brush I stamped the tree leaves repeatedly at the top using Old Olive ink, stamping in both 1st & 2nd generation inks (stamping off once).
    The greeting is from a new stamp set called Prayers & Promises.

    Here’s the free project sheet you can download or print. Click here.

    As you can see below the images in this set are mostly tree limbs and leaves. It’s what I like to call a ‘builder’ set where you can create your own scenes.

    Did you spy the new embossing folder called Lovely Stripes? I placed it in the folder on the angle to add more interest. This folder and the stamp set will be available starting tomorrow – Tuesday, January 6th! Click here to shop.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and the new product shares too. I hope you watch! Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel here.
