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!

  • Misty Trees Beauty of Friendship card


    With each new catalog I always join several card swaps so I have lots of samples to share with my customers.  

    Here's one I created featuring the Beauty of Friendship Bundle. 

    The colors are the new In Colors of course; Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen.  The background stamping is made by stamping the trees several times without reinking. This gives you several hues/generations of ink which creates a misty, grouping of trees.  I love this effect with a 'naked' tree!  It reminds me of my Father-in-Law who loved naked trees.  

    Other details:

    • The greeting is stamped in Evening Evergreen ink on a 1" strip of our Vellum card stock.  I immediately heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.  Classic (or waterbase) ink does not dry quickly on vellum so you get colored, embossing easily. 
    • The vellum was cut long enough to wrap around the outside edge and adhere to the back side.
    • The dark tree was stamped in Evening Evergreen ink on White CS and die-cut with the Beautiful Trees dies. 

    You can see this Beauty of Friendship bundle here.  It's just lovely and I think it's going to be super popular!

  • Pansy Petals cards kit to go; pretty & spring-like!


    The new Pansy Petals designer paper is so pretty it was easy to create beautiful, eye catching cards with it. 

    Here are a few reasons why I love this new Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper:

    • It has three different sheets of gingham; all in the new In Colors
    • There are full sheets filled with life-like pansies and pretty leaves
    • The pansy dies coordinate with these flowers and leaves!  No fussy cutting if you have them. 
    • It features each of the 5 beautiful, new In Colors!!  

    Anyway; this pre-cut kit to go is available through May May 18th.  There is also a pdf tutorial available.

    This kit includes the following:

    • 1/2 pkg of Pansy Petals DSP (6" X 12")
    • 2021-23 In Color jewels
    • Soft Succulent ribbon
    • 10 pre-cut cards; 3 of the 5 designs are fancy folds!
    • the PDF tutorial including measurements, photos, supply list & step by step directions

    The kit does not include pre-stamped images, adhesive or stamps. I used the Pansy Patch bundle for greetings and the dies to cut out the flowers & leaves from the DSP.  You can also fussy cut them if you choose to.   

    *This kit will likely be mailed in early June due to a back-order on the In Color jewels.

    The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after payment.
