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!

  • Exploring In Color cards & envelopes & the Paper Pumpkin refill – both while supplies last!


    May's Paper Pumpkin kit was amazing!  It featured our newest In Colors in fabulous scenic themed cards. Here is an alternative card I made with this kit:

    I cut one of the card bases into three strips and adhered them onto a Boho Blue card base (5 1/2" X 8 1/2", scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4").  Each printed piece is 1 7/8" X 5 1/4". The White inside is 2" X 5 1/4".  The greeting, binoculars & pretty label piece are from the kit.  I added a 3/4" strip of Boho Blue CS under it. 

    **Each month my Paper Pumpkin customers receive a big bunch of alternative ideas!  

    You can't get the full kit anymore; the cut off date was May 10th.  But the refill is still available here.  Here's what you get: 

    For $11.50 this refill kit includes:
    * 9 printed card bases: 3 each of 3 designs
    * Folded card size: 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" 
    * 9 envelopes
    * Die cut labels and accents
    * Linen twine
    * Adhesive
    * Sticker sheet

    Below is what the original kit cards look like: it included the stamp set & Copper Clay ink spot.  You can easily substitute other greetings.  However you do have to be a Paper Pumpkin subscriber to take advantage of the refills & other add ons.  

    And while supplies last there are coordinating cards & envelopes available too!  

    You can see these below.  It includes 18 cards AND 18 coordinating envelopes; all for just $10!  Get them here *You must be a Paper Pumpkin subscriber though.

  • TWO new June specials! more Norway cruise photos


    Stampin' Up! has two NEW promotions in June & they both start today

    First is a Starter Kit Promotion – an extra $30 in free product with purchase of the $99 starter kit.  This means that you can choose up to $155 in product of your choice for $99.  Yes; all of your choice plus FREE shipping too!  

    Click here to get yours.  Or message me here with any questions you may have. 

    Remember that purchasing the starter kit does not mean you have to hold classes or 'sell' Stampin' Up! products.  It just means you want the 20% discount on your purchases.  You can be any sort of Demonstrator you want – enjoy the discount only or hold events, or turn it into a business.  YOU are in charge and whatever you choose to do is just fine with me and Stampin' Up!.   

    I'd love to have you join my team of Flowerbug's!  We're a fun group consisting of all types of Demo's.

    The second promotion is the Designer Paper Sale!  13 different packs of DSP are discounted 15%.

    Continuing on from my post yesterday where I shared photos of our visit to London and some from the Norway cruise…..I thought you'd like to see some photos of the hospitality suite on the ship. We were on the Anthem of the Seas, a Royal Caribbean's ship.  

    We were invited to stop in each day to spin for a prize.  Prized were SU logo items like mugs, towels etc.  

    They had lots of goodies for us to enjoy each day.  Jars & jars of candy & treats many of them unique to us as they were from the UK. 


    In the hospitality suite they displayed our swap cards, had games & chairs for us to hang out to visit our friends.  

    We are treated royally by Stampin' Up! but honestly the best things about the trip were time to relax and also spending time with new and old friends we've made over the years.  


    To stay within direct sales compliance I need to add that earning the incentive trip is not typical for Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. Fewer than 1% of demonstrators actually achieve this extraordinary result. I appreciate my customers and team members that make this possible for me each year!
