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!

  • New Catalog Party Displays!


    It was a bit chilly when I held my New Catalog Open House this weekend but I still had a great turnout. I teased them to come with the promise of some warm soup and beverage. I truly love seeing my customers and friends come and enjoy spending time with each other here. Friendships are a huge part of stamping!

    Here are some of the displays I created for the event.

    Many of the cards on my display boards are swaps I received. I participated in 4 different swaps and received over 100 cards back! I love swapping!!

    I place my cards in our clear envelopes so unfortunately there may be some reflection in the photos.

    I have two magnetic boards from IKEA in my studio I can add DSP to for easy displays.

    Unfortunately the Sweet Bugs stamp set is already out of stock! Darn; that will be a popular one! No worries though, it should be back later this month.

    The designer paper hanging at the top is the new Splash of Sparkles specialty DSP. You can see it here.

    One of my favorite suites is the Nature Walk seen here.

    Above are the Online Exclusives released in November. I had to include these in my display because I had so many great samples and some people had not seen them yet. You can see all of our Online Exclusives here. The only difference between these products is they are not in a printed catalog. They can be ordered at any time.

    Lastly are my two January kits to go on display. Lovely & Beautiful and Sweet Bugs – both are fun fold cards.
    You can get the details and reserve your favorite here. Or choose the PDF tutorials.

    I served a Mexican Street Corn White Chicken Chili soup that everyone loved. Here’s a link to it on Pinterest if you’re interested.

  • New Catalog card swaps video


    On last week’s Live video I shared lots & lots of my new catalog and Online product card swaps as I walk you through the catalog. I received many amazing cards with great layouts & fancy folds. I hope you watch it. Here’s the link.

    I held my New Catalog Party this weekend and it was a big success! It’s always great to see people I don’t get to see regularly.
    I had so many wonderful displays of new products and my card swaps too. I’ll share those later this week.

    I did receive a few of the new kits in our Kit Collection seen here. One I had to make right away is the Adopt a Pet kit. It’s adorable! Kids would absolutely love making & playing with these.

    Isn’t it cute? Here’s the link to it in the store. It’s just $15. Oh, the imaginative play children will have with these critters would be pretty special.

    In the video I also shared the many new Stampin’ Up! specials going on.
