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!

  • Wow! Halloween Scenic cards with Life is Beautiful stamp set with video!


    I am pretty pleased of these two cards I shared on Facebook Live yesterday.  I've been wanting to make some spooky Halloween cards with my Life is Beautiful stamp set and think they turned out amazing, IF I do say so myself!  

    This first one features a bright, white moon with a halo of purple around it.  I used a 2" circle punched 'mask' and sponged the Rich Razzleberry and Pacific Point background.  You can get my easy sponging tips in the video below. 

    Here I created a window scene with the Stitched Rectangle and Plaid Builder dies.  I share my quick method of creating this window in the video below. 

    I LOVE creating scenes with sponged backgrounds and the Life is Beautiful stamp set is perfect for it!  I used the following inks on the card above: Pacific Point, Rich Razzleberry, Black, Craft White and Pretty Peacock. 

    Do you like the White clouds?  I used the same image on the ground as I did on the clouds.  Love the versatility of this stamp! The pumpkins and greeting are from the Banner Year stamp set. 

    The colors above are Smoky Slate, Black and Pumpkin Pie.  I used a bit of Magic in This Night DSP, the Cobweb embossing folder and Plaid Builder, Stitched Rectangles and Ornate Frames dies.  The little birds are from the Mountain View stamp set. 

    I hope you enjoy watching the video below!

  • Customize your cards with the Playful Alphabet!


    Who doesn't like a customized card WITH your name on it!  You won't find that at Hallmark!  Use the Playful Alphabet dies to create a one of a kind card. 

    I made this for my granddaughter Eliza. She is almost 7 and loves anything with her name on it. 

    The color palette was chosen by the designer paper Playing with Patterns.  It's full of bright, unique colors and patterns.  In fact, behind her name is a piece of the paper.  The gradation of colors sure fits the card well doesn't it?  

    I used the Stitched Nested Label dies.  I cut out the letters from the White die-cut and popped that up over a strip of the DSP.  I added some Seal Plus to the bottom edge and pressed my ribbon onto that in small loops.

    Her favorite color is turquoise; just like mine!  I chose two pieces of Designer paper for the card front and separated them with a strip of Crushed Curry.  You can see these products below in my store.
