3rd set of WOW Masculine swap cards by my Team!


I have another set of incredible swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team.  Our theme in July was masculine cards and the cards are out of this world creative!  I'm sharing a bunch each day this week. 

First up is a card made by Candace.  She really went outside the box with her background strip idea.  The various widths & lengths of strips are a clever & unique way to set up her aquatic scene.  

She used the 'Whale Done' stamp set and the coordinating Whale punch.  That neat 'seaweed' is from the Delicate Edges dies seen here.  

Her colors are unique but sure work well together!  They are Soft Sea Foam, Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent & Orchid Oasis.  Great job!!

 

Next is Becky's fun 'sailboat' card.  She used the Let's Set Sail Bundle seen here.  

Her colors are Night of Navy, Parakeet Party & Sahara Sand.  The DSP is from the Sun Prints.  It's a fancy fold too!  

Notice her clouds on the background?  She used the Friends are Like Seashells stamps for those!  So clever! 

Measurements:

  • The card base is 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2". 
  • The long strip is 1 1/2" X 11" scored at 2 3/4", 5 1/2" & 8 1/4" and is adhered only at the two end pieces.  
  • The squares are 1 3/4" & 2" in size.  

Next is a wonderful card made by Monica.  She used the Dragonfly Garden stamp set & coordinating Dragonflies punch.

Details:

  • Her colors include Soft Suede, Soft Succulent & Evening Evergreen.  She textured the various strips using the new Painted Posies 3D embossing folder. 
  • The strips are all 4 3/4" long but vary in width from 5/8" – 1 1/4" all adhered to a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of White CS.  Again, strips to the rescue for a unique background idea; perfect for men.  
  • The greeting die-cuts are from the Stitched Rectangle dies. 
  • The dragonfly is stamped on Vellum and punched out. But she stamped it again on a piece of the Texture Chic specialty DSP for the center.  So it has gold details on it! 

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

  • Get free handmade cards from me in November. And a brand new card kit in the Kit Collection!


    It's November! It's hard to believe we're starting to think about Thanksgiving already!  

    I have a bunch of handmade cards I'd love to share with you. I know many of you love having card samples in hand for ideas. I have a shoebox full saved for quick reference when I'm creating.  

    My November special for online orders is a set of handmade cards. The more you order the more cards you'll receive!  

    Please use a host code when ordering from me. This helps me a lot so I can afford to gift you all with free items each month. 

    Starting today there's a brand new kit in our Kit Collection; it's a set of cards with a 'destination' theme. It's called the Best Destination Kit – item #163186. 


    This all inclusive kit is $20 and includes:

    • Enough supplies to create 9 cards—3 each of 3 designs
    • 9 coordinating envelopes
    • Best Destination Photopolymer Stamp Set
    • One Gorgeous Grape Ink Spot
    • Printed card bases, printed die cuts, adhesive, embellishments, and a clear block
    • Finished card size: 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" 

    Here are the pretty scenic cards:

    Remember that our Kit Collection kits are all inclusive. This means that everything you need is in the kit.  However you may need a paper snips scissors and I recommend adhesive too. The kits usually include dimensionals or glue dots but if you're a crafter you'll want your own adhesive.

    Look at all you get!

    Here's a close-up of the stamp set that's included:

  • Gorgeous Abundant Beauty Kraft notecards with gift box


    I was inspired by this set of cards & box by a project shared online. I changed up the colors to 'my' favorites and created this:

    I absolutely LOVE the Abundant Beauty Decorative masks seen here! The sunflowers are my favorite of course, but I also used the houndstooth mask here as well. Unfortunately these masks are out of stock right now. They'll be back around November 13th. 

    You might think I made this box but I sure didn't!  It's found on page 135 of our Annual Catalog. It includes 20 cards & 20 envelopes and one box for gifting cards in; all in Kraft paper.  The cards are notecard side which is 5" X 3 1/2". See it here online. 

    As you can see in the photo below I used the houndstooth mask to add a soft background to each notecard.  I used a blending brush and Copper Clay ink.  

    The sunflowers are made with Pretty Peacock ink and the leaves are Granny Apple Green on White cardstock. Yes; they are all fussy cut! I did some but my friend Pat did the rest for me; she loves to fussy cut things! 

    The greetings are from the So Sincere stamp set from the 2023 Holiday catalog.  It's my favorite greeting set right now. See it here. 

     

    You can see in the photo below that I added the houndstooth pattern to the entire box, inside & out.  Because it comes flat it's easy to do. 

    I hope you're inspired by this project.  I'm not sure who will receive it yet, but it will be someone special!
