Lots of amazing Masculine card ideas this week!!

July 18, 2022

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

January’s Card Kits to go; 1st is True Love black & white with pops of color!

January 11, 2021
I was so happy when I saw the True Love designer paper in the new Spring Catalog. I absolutely LOVE black & white prints in our papers! I find it's the most versatile to use since you can add ANY COLOR you want to it and Black and White makes it POP!

Save

If you like to fussy cut or color you'll fall in love with this pretty paper.

Look at these pretty cards! And you can color the floral images with markers OR fussy cut them out to add beautiful detail to the cards.

Save

I created 5 cards; two of each design for a total of 10 cards. Three of the five designs are unique fun folds too. *see photo below

You'll receive all pre-cut, punched & die-cut pieces, 1/2 package of True Love Designer paper (6" X 12"), black glittered ribbon, Black matte gems and a share of 2020-22 In Color enamel dots so you can finish these cards at home.

I chose to use the Vine Design stamp set since it's full of a wide variety of greetings and the lovely vine and floral images too. You can add on either the stamp set or bundle at an extra 10%! It fits in the package and costs nothing extra in shipping costs. And if you do you can choose a free Sale-a-Bration choice also.

I used Black, Real Red and Just Jade inks. Remember you'll stamp your own images.

January 8, 2021
Who doesn't love free!? There is a bonus stamp set added to every order over $300 during Sale-a-Bration this year. It's called Punch Party & is available to both customers and demonstrators too! One thing I love about Stampin' Up! is that us demonstrators enjoy the same perks as customers!

Save

I was able to pre-order this set during December; another favorite perk of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.

Details:
- I also used a new and FREE Designer Paper called Paper Blooms here. The colors are Seaside Spray with Navy & White. I use this pretty color combo often.
- Can you tell it's a fun fold? The Seaside Spray is 3" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". I added texture with the Meadow Moments embossing folder. The Navy layer is a quarter sheet 5 1/2" X 4 1/4".
- I punched a white Small Bloom punch and added a pearl to the center. It's sponged for a bit of color.
- The main image is stamped and punched out with the Rectangular Postage Punch.
Here's a close up of this lovely stamped image.

Corner Bouquet Triple Panel card & a tour of my studio & new catalog launch video

January 7, 2021

Tuesday I held my new 2021 New Catalog Launch party and shared a virtual tour of my studio and Sale-a-Bration & Spring project displays. I did have a little issue with a catch in my throat at the end but most of it's good. Ha!

Below is a fun card showing you a way to use a large stamped image. You can do it two different ways:

Stamp first and then cut into three strips. Or cut into strips, arrange together and stamp all at once. This is what I did using my Stamparatus so I could re-stamp a few times for a nice dark image. I've sure been using my Stamparatus a lot lately. Do you have one? It's so helpful!

Save

After I stamped the main image I let it dry a bit and then ran all three strips through the die-cutting machine to add texture. I used a brand new 3D embossing folder called Painted Texture.

These colors are Purple Posy, Night of Navy & Coastal Cabana. I was inspired to combine these colors by one of our designer paper packs in the Annual Catalog called Playing with Patterns.

The greeting is from the Enjoy the Moment stamp set in the new 2021 Spring Catalog.
