Last of the Men’s card series today!


Have you been enjoying my week of 'masculine' cards?  With today's cards I've shared 16 ideas for the men in our lives!  If you haven't seen them all you have a few options.  Click on each of the links below. 

If you're reading these in an email you're not seeing the entire blog and cannot see the following posts.  Be sure to click on the heading of this post to get to my actual blog and scroll backwards.  These swaps have been so special & incredibly creative!!

The first card today is made by Ginny.  She used our new Masking Paper to create the neat background stripes!

Her colors are Soft Succulent, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso & Calypso Coral.  She used the 'He's All That' bundle seen here for her stamps & dies.  I love how she die-cut the neat detail dies from her sponged paper!

This next striking card was made by Marla.  She used the new Ringed with Nature bundle seen here.  It's in our new Holiday catalog and comes with a Tree Rings embossing folder. 

I absolutely love that she used a pop of Poppy Parade cards tock here.  We tend to use muted colors for guys, but many of them love color like women tend to.  

Her colors include Poppy Parade, Soft Suede, Mint Macaron & White.  I wish you could feel the texture she achieved on her stamped tree ring! And aren't those mushrooms adorable?! 

Next is a super layered card made by Brenda using the He's the Man suite.  See it all here online.  

Her card was inspired by Brian King; her colors by the camping themed sheet in the He's the Man DSP.  She has Early Espresso, Soft Succulent, Crumb Cake & White on her card.  

I certainly hope you've been inspired by the 16 manly cards I've shared with you this week. My Flowerbug's Team is SUPER talented!

  • Green & Gold fun fold card with Changing Leaves bundle; & a free project sheet too!


    Today I'm sharing the second card I made during last week's Live video. My projects focused on new Online Exclusive products.  There's lots of beautiful texture on this monochromatic card.

    This card features multiple new Online Exclusive products released last week.

    Did you know that Stampin' Up! releases a bunch of new online extras multiple times a year?  These items are not in any printed publication and are seen only online. Most people don't realize that they can be ordered online or at local events.

    • Greetings of the Season stamp & dies bundle seen here

    I'll be featuring this pretty Green & Gold specialty designer paper for one of my upcoming card kits:

    Here's the inside view of this card.  I call it a center flap fold. It allows you to use two different pieces of coordinating designer paper.

  • Changing Leaves Hybrid embossing folder technique; with free project sheet & video tutorial


    I joined quite a few swaps featuring our newest group of Online Exclusives and this is one of the cards I made:

    It features the Changing Leaves bundle seen here.  It includes a stamp & die bundle AND a coordinating hybrid embossing folder as well. 

    I used two different embossing techniques on this card. If you look closely at the die-cut leaf you'll see there's ink in the recessed part of the leaf.  That was done by adding ink to the embossing folder before I cut & embossed the leaves.  Please watch the video here to see how it's done. 

    My colors include the new Basic Beige and Mossy Meadow with White. I also ran a piece of Basic Beige CS through the clean folder and added ink with a blending brush afterwards. 

    In the two cards below you'll see that the Beige card stock looks different.  The left card was done by blending Mossy Meadow ink very lightly over the textured CS. The right card was done by adding ink to the embossing folder before I textured it. Two totally different results! Again; watch the video below to see how it's done. 

    For the greetings I used another new Online Exclusive stamp set called Everyday Greetings. It's a fabulous greeting set. See it here. 

    The oval die-cut is from a new set of dies called Greetings of the Season dies seen here. They're paired with a stamp set but are great on their own too. 

    Did you know that Online Exclusives simply mean that they're seen online and not in any printed publication? Anyone can order them! See them all here; there are tons of them!

  • Lily Pond Lane card kit – limited quantities!


    The adorable Lily Pond Lane designer paper is the star of these colorful cards. I created 5 card designs; 3 of which are fun folds. What I like about this DSP is how versatile it is; young or old, men, women or kids – it's great for anyone! 

    Each month I create two card kits where the DSP is the focus of the projects. These cards can be purchased as a pre-cut kit to go or choose the PDF tutorial option. Those who choose the kit will make 2 each of the 5 cards for a total of 10 cards.

    I have a limited number of kits available due to limited stock; opt in soon! 

    This kit includes the following Stampin' Up! products:

    • 10 pre-cut cards including die-cuts and punched pieces
    • 1/2 pkg of Lily Pond Lane 6 X 6" designer paper (some fussy cutting needed)
    • a share of Dappled Dots gems
    • a share of Peach Pie 3/8" ribbon
    • the free PDF tutorial with measurements, photos, supplies list and step by step directions.

    You will need the following to complete the cards:

    • Pretty Peacock ink (or a similar color)
    • Greeting images (i used Simply Said & Unbounded Love but any will work)
    • Paper snips scissors & Paper Trimmer, Adhesives 

    Opt in for the pre-cut card kit ($30) with products here.  Or choose the PDF tutorial option for $15 here. 

    The card kit will mail out at the end of July. The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after payment.  Add on a second kit to go & save on postage.
