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!

  • Butterfly Bouquet Fun Fold cards with video!


    I truly love the new Butterfly Brilliance products seen here.  They are so easy AND fun to play with.  I made three special fun fold cards on my FB live yesterday.  Scroll down to see the video below:

    This first card makes the most of this beautiful Butterfly Bijou designer paper!  Use the side strips leftover after you die-cut the 6 butterflies from the designer paper.  So cool to make use of the pretty edges! 

    Below you can see how it opens as well as the measurements to make more!  

    Next is a fun latch card using the Classic Label punch.  

    I created my own designer paper by stamping the butterflies on Black CS using White Craft ink.  Easy and quick!  Watch the video below to catch the tips on this fun card. 

    I made my own butterfly paper by stamping the butterflies on Black CS using White Craft ink.  So easy and pretty too.  

    Watch the video below to catch the tips on making these fun latch cards. 

    Lastly is a double point fold card.  The two pieces of Designer paper are 2 1/2" X 4" scored 1/2" on the long side.  You need two pieces to attach under the White CS layer. Again, watch the video below to get the details. 

    I shared how I made that striking solid colored butterfly in the video.  I just love these products!  See them here. 

    I hope you watch the video below where I share how to make each of these neat cards!

  • Butterfly Bouquet & the Origami Window Fold


    Here's another favorite project I've made with the new Butterfly Bouquet products.  Are you a fan of butterflies?

    I call this unique fold the Origami Window.  It's done by folding a 4 X 4" piece of designer paper a few times.  See details here or watch my video here. 

    The colors are Highland Heather and Pool Party. See the neat texture on the purple CS strip?  That's one of the dies in the Butterfly Wings dies!  You can see them here: 

    That pretty texture on the inside White square is from the Meadow Moments pair of embossing folders seen here.  They fit in your die-cutting machine but they were made narrow enough to fit in the new Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine too!

  • The NEW Butterfly Bouquet bundle is here!!


    Stampin' Up! is releasing one of the upcoming Annual Catalog bundles early!  Plus they added on two exclusive papers along with it!  But these papers are only available through May 3rd, while supplies last! Click here to see them online. 

    I joined an online swap and created these pretty cards: 

    The bundle consists of 1 large butterfly stamp and 12 coordinating dies.  There is a big pack of 6 X 6" Butterfly Bijou Designer Paper and also new Natural Touch specialty paper; 2 sheets of wood grain 12" X 12" paper. Download the Butterfly Bouquet flyer

    Which card do you prefer?  Mint Macaron or Calypso Coral?  I sure like the soft papers in this Designer Paper!

    Here's the flyer so you can see the details for each of these new products.  It's important to note that the two papers shown are only available from now through May 3rd while supplies last.  You can order tomorrow, March 2nd. 

    Look at the photo below; see how this sheet of paper coordinates with the large multiple butterfly die? It might be hard to tell but the die is laying on the paper.  So cool!  

    I used three of these butterflies on my cards; the green, blue and yellow!  Such happy spring-like colors!

    Measurements are:

    • Card Base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • Designer Paper 2" X 5 1/2"
    • Natural Touch paper 2" X 4"
    • Black 2 1/4" X 4 1/4", plus 1/4" and 1/3" strips and die-cut butterfly
    • White scrap for Painted Poppies die-cut

    On the card below I did color parts of the yellow butterfly with my Calypso Coral Blends marker.
