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!

  • String Art Technique; fun, easy & the results are a big WOW!


    I shared the String Art technique on last week's Live video.  It's been years since I tried it and it brought back how much fun it is!

    That cool swirly, colorful image is made with a length of twine, ink refills and a phone book.  Yes; a phone book!  Any book will do but I a phone book is okay to get inky.  

    And another neat thing about this technique is you get two finished panels from one technique!  

    You might notice the card on the right has thicker lines.  I believe that piece was on the bottom and had more moisture on it.  

    I used Bermuda Bay and Parakeet Party ink refills for this technique, along with about 14" of baker's twine. After the piece was created I let it dry and textured it with an embossing folder.  

    *Bermuda Bay card stock, ink pad and refill are already sold out.  Products can go so fast on the Last Chance list! 

    Other products used: 2022-24 In Color dots seen here (Just $4; reduced by 50%!), the Quatrefoil embossing folder, Butterfly Kisses 6 X 6" DSP, 2022-24 In Color Baker's Twine pack. 

    You really need to watch this technique in action.  It's so much easier than to try to explain it.  

    Watch the video here or click on the image below to see this special technique. It's the third project in the video.

  • Share a Milkshake card with video & free projects sheet!


    The Share a Milkshake bundle is SWEET and super fun to create with.  We made this fun card at my March card clubs: 

    You can see the Share a Milkshake bundle here; it's filled with cute 2-step images, quirky font greetings and fabulous dies.  See that straw in the ice cream?  It fits into a 'slit' in the die-cut ice cream piece. 

    *This bundle is carrying over into the new Annual catalog but it will not be a bundle at 10% off any longer; the stamp set & dies will be sold separately. 

     

    That bottom large die above folds into a textured sugar cone; you can then insert your 'scoops' of ice cream in it like the project below shared by Stampin' Up! 

    Here's what we stamped inside our card.  The 2-step bowl of ice cream with a die-cut silver spoon is extra special.

    My colors include Coastal Cabana, Sweet Sorbet and Polished Pink with a bit of Early Espresso for the chocolate topping die-cuts. the striped DSP on the bottom is from the Country Floral Lane DSP in the Spring catalog.   

    Here's the free project sheet for this project; it includes measurements, directions and supplies. Download March 23 Share a Milkshake

     

    Click here or below for the video for this project and a few more as well.  It's the 2nd project.
