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!

  • More fun fold cards with One Horse Open Sleigh!


    Here are the other two cards I shared in last week's Live video.  If you're not following me on Facebook to catch the live videos click here to join my FB page!  

    Not on Facebook, follow me on YouTube here. 

    This first card is a Spanner fun fold card; featuring the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper seen here. It's only seen in our Online Exclusives.  

    My colors are Gray Granite with Early Espresso ink. The die-cut trees are from the Horse & Sleigh dies seen here. I added some color to the base of the trees with brown & Gray Granite Blends. My greetings are from the Lasting Joy and Layering Leaves sets.

    Here's the view once the upper panel is lifted.  I stamped a tree from the Horse & Sleigh bundle on the inside.  

    Measurements: 

    • Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”.  Cut up to the 4 ¼” score line at 1 ¼” from each outer edge.
    • Greeting strip 5 ½” X 1”

    Next is a double flap card in blues – Misty Moonlight & Boho Blue.  These colors pair beautifully together.  

    This card is a wonderful fun fold layout for 6" papers.  You can make two cards with one piece. Or make 8 cards with a 12" designer paper! The stamps are from One Horse Open Sleigh and Lasting Joy.  

    The side flap is scored and the score line is placed right at the left card edge.  I cover that up with the inside white panel.  

    Measurements:

    • DSP – 1 piece per card 3” X 5 ¼”
    • Card base 5 ½” X 4 ¼”
    • Center flap 3 ¼” X 11” score at 5 ½”, Side flap 5” X 1” score at ¾”
    • White inside 3” X 5 ¼”

    Both of these cards are included in my One Horse Open Sleigh fun fold cards PDF tutorial seen here.  My tutorials can be used for more than this designer paper!  


    Below is the video where I made three of these cards:

  • One Horse Open Sleigh Fun Fold cards with video & measurements!


    On last week's Live video I shared three fantastic fun fold cards featuring the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper – it's an Online Exclusive you can see here.  

    These cards were featured in last month's card kit to go; each card is a fancy fold!  The kit is no longer available but the PDF tutorial is here.   You can see all of the cards in the tutorial below:


    I love this card because it shows off the full beauty of this scenic paper. Whenever I have a pretty scenic paper I want to show off  this is the layout I use.

    Just trim off 3/4" of the upper or lower edge of the designer paper and cut using the following measurements: 

    Measurements:

    • DSP – start with 1 piece 5 ¼” tall X 6” wide. Make your first cut 2 ¾” from the left edge vertically.  From that cut edge cut another piece at 1 1/8"
    • Card base 8 ½” X 5 ½” score at 1 ½” & 4 ¼”
    • White inside 1 ¾” X 5 ¼”


    I used the Layering Leaves stamp set for my greetings.  It's my favorite set from the Annual Catalog; see it here.

  • Forever Forest – beautiful mountains & trees


    I created this card for an online swap I'd joined last month.  It shows off the gorgeous mountain dies in the Forever Forest bundle. 

    I knew I had to get this bundle with the many trees, that gorgeous mountain die and the other options.  It's a fabulous scene builder set!  See the bundle here.

    I used Shaded Spruce ink to stamp the trio of trees image, adding a second image without reinking.  Then I added 5 die-cut trees from Shaded Spruce card stock over the stamped trees.   

    I wanted to create a soft sky above the trees so I lightly added Balmy Blue ink with a Blending Brush.  I then inked the 'cloud' image in the same Balmy Blue, stamped off once and stamped in the sky.  

    The 'Winter Wishes' is from the Magical Meadow stamp set seen here.  

    I die-cut two mountains in White for each card, adding them in different positions on the bottom of the stamped White layer.  After I added them I trimmed off the excess on the sides before adhering the layer to the card base. 

    What do you think?
