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!

  • Easy Triple Accordion fold with tutorial, measurements & video


    We made this pretty Triple Accordion card last night on a FB Live video seen here.  It's a neat fold that is also quite easy to make. 

    I used the Awash in Beauty designer paper along with the coordinating True Beauty bundle seen here.  

    It stands up nicely but also folds into a 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" A2 size card.  

    Measurements: 
    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2 3/4", 4 1/4", 7 1/4" & 8 1/2"
    • Pink layer is 4" square. Cut 2
    • DSP – 2 pieces at 3 7/8" square
    • White 2 1/4" X 4"

    I am challenging everyone to make and share one on my FB group page here by July 17th to be entered in Prize Patrol for a free embellishment.  


    The entire suite is beautiful!

    You can get a share of this pretty designer paper in my Annual Catalog paper share. I still have a few spots left! Message me here Details are at the bottom of this post.

    My colors include Mossy Meadow, Polished Pink & Balmy Blue.  The pretty die-cut flowers are all from the Awash in Beauty designer paper.  The Organic Beauty dies are designed perfectly to match the DSP!  The only stamping I did here are the two greetings; all of the flowers are die-cut from either card stock or DSP.  

    Do you see the little bit of color on the Pink blossom die-cut?  I used Wink of Stella and my White craft ink to add color. Watch the video below to see how.

  • Fun shaker card with the Bottled Happiness bundle!


    We made this fun shaker card at my June card clubs.  It features the Bottle of Happiness bundle and the Vintage Bottle Shaker Domes seen here. 

    I shared how to make it in last week's FB Live video.  You can see it here on my YouTube channel too. 

    Heads up!  Soon I will be posting my weekly videos on YouTube each Tuesday morning instead of Facebook. So be sure you're following me on YouTube.  Click on the red bell so you're notified when I go live.  

    I wish you could shake it yourself!  There's just something extra special about an interactive card and the Bottled Happiness bundle makes it so easy.

    • White CS, Pear Pizzazz & Orchid Oasis inks and card stock
    • Stitched with Whimsy dies
    • Vintage Bottle Shaker Domes

  • Artist of the Month with Sending Smiles; fun fold card & tags box


    Today I'm sharing the rest of Marilyn's projects featuring the Sending Smiles bundle.  See the first set here. 

    This cute card is a Dutch door fold where the front panel is attached to the lower 'door' opening. 

    She used the new Sweet Sorbet & Parakeet Party In Colors here. 

    Her measurements are as follows:

    • Sweet Sorbet – 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" plus a 8 1/2" X 2 3/4" scored at 4 1/4".  The front panel is 2 3/4" X 4 1/8"
    • White front is a stitched rectangle at 2 5/8" X 4" & inside is 4" X 5 1/4"
    • In Color DSP is2 5/8" X 4" 

    Next is an adorable box made with the Tailored Tag dies.  

    She used 2 of the Tailored Tag die-cuts and adhered them to the little box she made with the template seen below. 

    Details: 

    • The tags are approximately 1 3/4" X 3 3/4" and the box is1 1/2" square. 
    • She used the Sending dies for the flower & greeting. 
    • The DSP is the 2022-24 In Color 6 X 6" pack and the ribbon is the Tahitian Tide 1/8" ribbon.  

    To make this box start out with a 4" square of card stock and score at 1 1/4" on all sides.  

    And below are all of her projects using the Sending Smiles bundle.  She sure did a fabulous job!!
