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!

  • Beautiful Lights Aglow card kit to go; or choose the PDF tutorial option


    The beautiful Lights Aglow specialty designer paper is stunning with pretty patterns and gold foil accents.  I had to use it for one of my card kits to go this season.  

    The colors include Soft Succulent, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, Black & Evening Evergreen.  And gold foil too! 

    Below are the 10 cards I created with this gorgeous 6 X 6" designer paper: 

    If you love Christmas, fun folds or unique card layouts you will enjoy these cards!  You can choose between the PDF tutorial or the actual pre-cut kit. 

    The pre-cut kit to go includes 10 pretty Christmas cards and the PDF written tutorial.  The PDF includes step by step directions, photos, a supply list and measurements for each card.  It is sent via email immediately after payment.  

    The kit includes the pre-cut pieces for 10 cards (2 each of 5 designs) and a share of the following products; the Lights Aglow specialty designer paper, Gold & vanilla ribbon and Festive Pearls.  You will have plenty left over to make even more projects!  

    Click here to opt in for the pre-cut card kit. *The pieces are pre-cut or punched for you! 

    Click here to get the PDF tutorial.  

    *This kit to go will be mailed via Priority Mail at the end of October.  Please opt in for it by October 19th.  

    To complete the cards you'll need greeting stamps (I used the Brightest Glow), inks (Soft Succulent, Cherry Cobbler, Evergreen & Black) adhesives & a paper trimmer. Add on the Brightest Glow stamp set or bundle at an extra 10% discount.  Email me here and I'll send you an invoice for payment. 

    *This is the card kit my kit subscribers will receive.

  • Quick cards with the Stack & Cut template! Video & measurements too!


    I featured the Stack & Cut template for this project from last week's Stamp Camp class.  Scroll down to see the template; it's one of my favorite ways to use designer paper and for quick cards too!  

    I chose to feature the Celebrate Everything designer paper for a colorful thank you card.  Here are the products I used: 

    • Greetings are from the Charming Sentiments stamp set
    • Leaves are from the Simply Fabulous stamp set
    • The white die-cut is from the Painted Label dies. The Poppy Parade circle is 2 1/4"

    And here is the template.  Remember that you can use just one piece of DSP for one card; or stack two pieces and get 2 cards.  This works best with double sided designer paper.  

    I hope you try making some Stack & Cut cards soon.  Like I said it's a wonderful way to use your designer paper. 

    Here's a group of cards I shared in this video. 

    I share this card & 2 more fun folds in the video below:

  • Christmas Card Class – Attend class or get the pre-cut kit & tutorial!


    Each year I offer my local gals at least 3 Christmas card classes so they can create beautiful cards to send to their family & friends. I also offer my long distance customers a chance to get these same cards in a pre-cut kit & tutorial as well.  

    Here are the beautiful cards for October's class:  

    I love the variety – from cute to beautiful; they satisfy all of your holiday card needs.  

    For these cards I used the Christmas Season (2022 Annual Catalog), the Christmas Scottie, Sweet Candy Canes and Peace to You stamp sets from the 2022 Holiday catalog.  You can substitute other sets for these if you'd like to.  

    The local class is on Saturday, October 29th at 10 am.  Cost is $25 and you'll make 3 of each card with stamped, coordinating envelopes too.  RSVP to attend  by Thursday, October 20th please.  

    The pre-cut kit to go includes 12 cards, all cut, die-cut & punched pieces.  It includes ribbons but not gems, texturing or stamped images. The cost is $25 plus shipping. 

    Go here to get the kit to go; while supplies last.  

    You can combine kits and save on shipping.  You can see them all here.  

    I am not offering the PDF tutorial separately at this time. 

    I just love these cards!!
