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!  

July Kim Wildlife Wonder Save


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. 

July Marilyn Wild & Sweet Save

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. 

July Paula Amazing Phrasing Save

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

 

July Karen G Stylish Sketches Save

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! Do you have a favorite??

    Happy Valentine's Day!  

    I shared this on FB last night and hoped you would to pick a favorite too!  I'm curious what the top pink Stampin' Up! color is….

    Favorite Pink Save

    I have a ton of Valentine's swaps I want to share with you too.  Most of these are made by my stamping friends. I cannot give credit to all of them as their post-it or business card was lost as my local customers browsed through them.  

    My friend Susie Wood made this adorable Hello Ladybug card.  She used the Checks & Dots embossing folder on the Red layer. 

    Valentines Hello Ladybug Susie Save

    This next one features the Nuts & Bolts stamp set & is made by Julie Davison.  

    Valentines Hello Ladybug Susie Save

    This cute card lost it's post-it so I cannot give credit.  I love how the panels are cut apart but the Sweet Talk designer paper still shows it's pattern.  

    Valentines Hello Ladybug Susie Save

    This next card was made by Jodi Reinert and features the Love & Happiness bundle seen here.  Love the textures! 

    Valentines Hello Ladybug Susie Save

    This next card is so cute!!  It was also made by my friend Susie Wood. I love the chalkboard effect of stamping on Black with White Craft ink.  Nuts & Bolts is the stamp set & the Gingham embossing folder was used on the background. 

    Valentines Nuts & Boltz Save

    Lastly is a sweet card made by Jennifer Cotton.  She used the Stitched So Sweetly dies and the Sweet Conversations stamp set.

  • Surprise! There’s an extra FREE stamp set in March’s ‘Beyond the Horizon’ kit!

    Beyond the Horizon PP March Save

    The Beyond the Horizon Paper Pumpkin Kit for March includes watercolor prints and designs inspired by the beautiful nature around us to create nine cards and coordinating envelopes. And paper pieces that perfectly coordinate with the amazing New Horizons Suite Collection seen here in the January–June 2022 Mini Catalog.

    Don’t forget the extra FREE stamp set in March (yes—that’s two stamp sets in one kit!) as our way of saying THANK YOU to all of our wonderful Paper Pumpkin subscribers.

    Details on this kit: 

    • This month’s kit contains enough elements to create 9 cards—3 each of 3 designs—and 9 coordinating envelopes. This all-inclusive kit includes printed card bases, die-cut paper pieces, embellishments, adhesive, and more!
    • The Beyond the Horizon Paper Pumpkin Kit includes a Misty Moonlight Classic Stampin’ Spot!
    • This kit’s stamp set is perfect for any occasion. With sentiments that say “thanks”, “hello”, “thinking of you,” and so many more, you’ll be able to use this stamp set year round.
    • And don't forget; this month’s kit comes with a BONUS stamp set for FREE! *value of $18

    There will be a change in Paper Pumpkin pricing going forward.  Here's what Stampin' Up! has recently stated:

    Despite Covid’s continued strain on the global economy, Stampin’ Up! has been working diligently to maintain the lowest possible price for our Paper Pumpkin subscription box, including absorbing costs to prevent price increases. However, as we continue to see greater cost increases to raw materials, shipping, and overhead, we have made the decision to increase pricing in order to maintain the high quality and value of the monthly kit. On 1 March 2022, Paper Pumpkin kits will see a slight increase in price. 

    But, there is a way to get the current prices for Paper Pumpkin and save money going forward.  Prepaid codes–both redeemed and unredeemed–purchased before the 1 March price change will maintain their full value. No additional payment will be required.

    So here's my suggestion for you:

    Purchase a pre-paid subscription in February for 3 month, 6 months, or 12 months and get it at the current lower price for that entire time period! Go here to order yours.

    Here's the pricing through February:

    Feb PP pricing 2022 Save

    Plus with a pre-paid subscription you can earn free Sale-a-Bration choices at the same time.  It's a WIN WIN choice! 

    And besides the free Sale-a-Bration choice you'll also receive free gifts (Gingham embossing folder & a calendar kit!) from me with your online order in February. See details below. 

    Watch this short video to see what is included in each kit:

    Top reasons to get our Paper Pumpkin kits:

    1. You are in full control over which kits you receive. You can skip a month at any time! 
    2. There are videos for each month's kit!  See them all here. 
    3. You'll get over 10 bonus/alternative projects from me each month!
    4. Each kit comes with an ink spot & a stamp set. 
    5. The kits are all inclusive; nothing else is needed to create the projects but a scissors. 
    6. There are FB groups where people share alternative projects each month. 
    7. The kits are perfect for quick projects with no prep or extra work. 
    8. It's a fun surprise each month!  But they share hints before the kit mails too!

    Here's the bonus project I created with the Hugs & Kisses February kit.  It's so fun to use the elements in the kit to create something fun & different!
