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!

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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!!
