Lots of amazing Masculine card ideas this week!!


This weekend my Flowerbug's Team met for our monthly gathering and swap.  Our theme was masculine cards and wow, did they get creative. I'll be sharing them all week long!

Note that each of these animals are stamped in just one color.  There's no need to color them in; let the beautiful images be the star!

This first card is made by Kim; she used the Wildlife Wonder stamp set from the 2022 Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!  



The unique dies she stamped & layered are from the Diorama dies seen here. 

Her card is a book binding fun fold.  The main card measures 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 4 1/2" & 5 1/2" for the side & front fold.  The designer paper is from the He's the Man DSP on page 134 of the Annual Catalog.  It measures 3/4" X 4" & 4 1/4" X 4".

Next is another simple yet striking card made by Marilyn.  She used the Wild & Sweet stamp set seen here in the Annual Catalog. 

Again, simply stamping the gorgeous detailed image in one color is all you need.  The colors include Early Espresso, Mossy Meadow & Pear Pizzazz with Very Vanilla.  

Other products are the Fern 3D folder, Stylish Shapes, Stitched Rectangles & Picture This dies.  The gems are the Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed dots.  

Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • Fern embossed layer 5 1/4" X 4",
  • Vanilla & Early Espresso die-cuts 4" X 2 5/8"

This next card was made by Paula; she featured TWO new Sale-a-Bration items on her unique card. 

I love that she made the rings of Love designer paper the star by 'framing' it. The 1 3/4" X 3" 'frame' is made with our new 'Deckled Rectangle dies' seen here. This DSP is from the Sale-a-Bration selection called Rings of Love seen here. It's free with any $50 Stampin' Up! order. 

The greetings are from the Amazing Phrasing stamp set; also in the Sale-a-Bration catalog & seen here.  She stamped on the Sahara Sand layer before she textured it with the Timber 3D embossing folder.  The White Frayed ribbon adds a neat detail.

Last but not least is a wonderful card made by Karen.  She is featuring the Stylish Sketches stamp set; a free choice from the current Sale-a-Bration catalog. *see it here

 

Her colors include Cajun Craze with Sahara Sand. I really like the images stamped on the Sahara Sand instead of our usual White or Vanilla.  

That pretty DSP is from the Sale-a-Bration selection called Rings of Love seen here. It's free with any $50 Stampin' Up! order.  The greeting is from the coordinating Ringed with Nature set in the Holiday catalog.  

Measurements are:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • Cajun Craze 5 1/4" X 4" and 4" X 2 1/2"
  • DSP 5" X 3 3/4"
  • Sahara Sand stamped layer 3 1/2" X 2"

Stay tuned for more manly card ideas tomorrow and all this week!

  • Happy Valentine’s Day! A Sweet Treat Pouch; easy gift!


    Here's a super neat way to give a treat to a friend.  My friend Marilyn made these for her club gals this month. Many of my gals like to make something special for their fellow club members when they are hostess. I love seeing their creativity!

    Isn't it cute?  It's made from our clear envelopes!  I think it's super clever.  She found the idea online and changed it up so it opens at the bottom; no need to destroy the pretty topper to get to your treat! 

    The card stock and From My Heart designer paper are 'inside' the envelope.  You can adhere your candies with mini glue dots to stay in place.  

    Watch the Facebook Live video replay below.  I made one adding a nice big cookie.  I placed the cookie in another clear envelope and inserted it into the outer one.  I just checked it and it's still soft a few weeks later! 

    Details:

    • Clear envelopes – get 50 in a package for $6.  See them here
    • Card stock topper is 3 1/2" X 5" scored at 2 1/2". Rounded with the Detailed Trio punch
    • From My Heart DSP topper is 1 1/2" X 4 3/4", bottom two corners are rounded
    • Card stock inside the envelope is 4 1/4" square
    • Designer Series Paper inside the envelope is 4" square
    • Be sure to have the opening at the bottom for easy access to your treat! 
    • Stamps are from Little Ladybug, Heartfelt, Butterfly Gala, Stitched So Sweetly
    • I stamped directly on the punched heart above; it's punched from the From My Heart Specialty Designer paper!
    • Heart Punch Pack 

    Here's the video for this pouch and two adorable Little Ladybug cards.

  • Newest 5 sheet wonder with Positive Thoughts


    I knew the Positive Thoughts stamp set would be perfect for a one sheet wonder but it's even better with my 5 Sheet Wonder!  

    What is a 5 sheet wonder?  See the templates above the cards here?  Those are the 5 pre-measured templates you use for the layers on each of the cards.  Absolutely no measuring here; just cut on the printed lines!  My husband and I have created multiple 'wonders' with printed layers to make card making easy.  See them all here.  

    The neutral 'one sheet wonder' template is what you stamp on, creating your own patterned paper.   First you'll print the template on it then flip it over to stamp on. The other 4 templates are colored 'layers' for your cards.  Cut on the printed lines for perfect layers!  

    I'm offering this class locally and as a kit to go or just the pdf tutorial for anyone else who cannot attend.  

    Local class is Tuesday, February 25th at 6 pm. Cost is $20 and includes the 10 cards with envelopes and the pdf tutorial.  RSVP by Feb 23rd. 

    The kit to go includes the printed templates, 10 card bases and assorted ribbons.  It does not include punched greetings or rhinestones. Cost is $20 plus $8.50 for Priority Shipping.  Email me by February 25th at lagreff60@gmail.com to order.  Combine it with my February Fun-fold cards kit to go for discounted shipping. 

    The pdf tutorial is always available at my Tutorial shop here.

  • Pleased as Punch; another fun fold card with optional pocket


    I am loving the spring-like Pleased as Punch designer paper; it's available now while supplies last!  See it here. I highly suspect this paper will run out before the end of March.  I have no inside information but it's happened before and if you really want it; don't wait!  click here to get yours. 

    I knew I wanted to make the focus of this card a square shape so I could add four pieces of the Designer Paper on the front with the greeting on top. So I had to figure out a way for the side to be separate.  I rarely make square cards so this was my compromise.  

    I adhered the side flap to the card base just at the outside edges to form a pocket.  This is for either money or a gift card. 

    Details:

    Measurements:

    • Mango Melody card base – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  I cut up to the score line at 1 1/4" on the outside edge. The extra piece is textured with the Coastal Weave embossing folder.  It measures 7/8" X 4"
    • White – 4" square
    • Balmy Blue 1" X 5"

    If you like this unique designer paper check out my Pleased as Punch Fun Fold card kit to go here.  There are just 4 days left to opt in on it.
