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 project ideas & video with our fabulous 2021-23 In Colors!!!


    I created three pretty cards with our new 2021-23 In Colors for yesterday's FB Live. I used three new stamp sets from the 2021 Annual Catalog. Everyone can order from it next week Tuesday, May 4th!  

    I cannot say it enough; I LOVE OUR NEW IN COLORS!!  They're all gorgeous, unique and will fit in with our current colors beautifully!

    Here is one of the cards I made on my Live video yesterday. 

    This card features a few new products:

    • The stamp set is called Quite Meadow
    • Dies are Scalloped Contour for both the Scalloped rectangle & scalloped strips
    • Ink and card stock – Fresh Freesia, Soft Succulent, Pale Papaya, Evening Evergreen and Polished Pink

    Here's another fun card I made with these gorgeous In Colors featuring a sponging technique: 

    I used the Color & Contour stamp set and all 5 In Colors as well.  I used sticky post-it notes to mask off areas as I sponged and stamped each area.  Watch the video below to catch the tips on this technique.

  • Team Swap cards featuring sponging techniques!


    Our latest Flowerbug Team swap featured sponging techniques and they knocked it out of the park!  Look at these: 

    The first card was made by Deloris. She used the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle.  These items are carrying over to the next catalog but they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off.  You can see it here. 

    Her colors are Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and White. I absolutely LOVE the unique colors she used here and isn't her sponging amazing!?  That stitched rectangle of vellum adds the perfect, soft background for the beautiful flower.  

    Next is a fabulous card made by Candace using A Good Man stamp set.  

    Her colors are Crumb Cake, Night of Navy & Pool Party.  

    She sponged the edges of her stamped pieces and rubbed the Crumb Cake ink pad directly on the Painted Textures embossing folder before running it through the Cut & Emboss Machine.  *See that folder here. 

    That stitched tag is one of our new dies coming in the 2021 Annual Catalog.  It's called 'Tailor Made Tags'. the greeting is from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set; also new! She colored the image in with Blends markers. 

    Stop in again tomorrow for more cards featuring sponging techniques!
