Men’s cards kit to go with the Well Suited suite.

I decided to offer card kits for both men and women this month.  With Mother's and Father's day coming up it's nice to have cards for the special people in our lives.  

Today I'm highlighting the 10 men's cards showcasing the Well Suited designer paper; many of which are fun folds. Look!

Save

Many of us find men's cards more challenging to make.  But these sure came together easily!  I chose a few layouts and fun fold cards and walla; done!  

I always create a full PDF tutorial for these kits that includes photos, step by step directions, measurements and a supplies list. Choose that option or the Kit to Go which includes the free tutorial. #BestDeal 

You'll receive the following in this kit to go:

• 1/2 pkg. Well Suited Designer Paper (6" X 12")
• 2 colors of twine 
• Black Matte dots
• free PDF tutorial (photos, measurements, supplies and step by step directions) 

I used the Handsomely Suited stamp set for the greetings but you can easily substitute any stamps you already own.  However if you want to purchase it, here's a link to the stamp set & here's the link to the bundle.  Or add it to your kit at an additional 10% off!  

Remember the kit offer ends after April 19th!  You have a few options with these cards:

• Choose the PDF tutorial only here $15
• Choose the 10 cards pre-cut kit with tutorial $28 (plus $8 shipping) here.
• Add on the Well Suited bundle with the card kit/PDF and save an extra 10% off!  Email me at lagreff60@gmail.com for this option. 
• I am also offering a second kit in April; the Hydrangea Hill cards.  See that here.  More on that tomorrow. 
• Choose both April card kits to go here. 

You'll receive the PDF instructions in an email immediately after payment.  The actual kit will be mailed to you Priority Mail at the end of April (barring any back-orders).

• Gorgeous Notes of Nature card with free project sheet & video tutorial

  January 29, 2024

  ---

  I had no idea I would enjoy creating with the Nature's Sweetness suite as much as I did. It's not my usual style but I'm in love with it all!  

  Here's one of the cards I shared on last week's video: 

  Save

  I used the Notes of Nature bundle and Old Olive, Black and gold accents on this card.  The large white layer is made by stamping a few of the background stamps in Black ink. I added two sets of leaves – one in green and 2 the other in the Gold designer paper. 

  I want to mention what I think puts this card over the top. Of course the gold additions attract your eye but I think repeating colors a few times helps a lot. Notice how the black is repeated, the Olive is and so is the Gold. If you have trouble with color combinations, try adding one color with a neutral or two. Such as Black & White with any color. 

  Save

  More Details:

  • I textured the Olive layer with the Exposed Brick embossing folder and used a Blending Brush to add Old Olive ink to it. This really highlights the texture! 
  • Also notice the small strip of Gold designer paper on the top and bottom of the stamped white layer.  This is the Nature's Sweetness specialty paper. 
  • I added gold sequins and gold Elegant trim near the greeting.

  Here's how I stamped the inside layer:

  I thought I'd share some of my display boards featuring Spring Catalog products.  I've heard back that you enjoy these so here you go…..

  First up is the Hot Air Balloon and Bee My Valentine projects:

  Save

  Remember that many of these are swaps and are not made by me. I like to group cards together that use the same stamp set or designer paper. 

  Here is the Hot Air Balloon dies display.  See the Hot Air Balloon bundle here.

  Next is the Perennial Lavender suite plus the Hills of Tuscany stamp set on the lower left.  

  Save

  Here's a close-up of the Perennial Postage dies I put together.  These are fabulous! See them online here.

  Next is the Nature's Sweetness suite that features two bundles!

  Below is the die display I created that is part of the Notes of Nature bundle seen here.

• The Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin kit is stunning! *get a pre-paid subscription & earn free SAB choices!

  January 25, 2024

  ---

  I received my January Paper Pumpkin kit yesterday and for the first time ever, I sat down and finished the entire kit!  Here are my cards.  

  
  

  Save

  The original kit makes 8 cards and 4 tags.  I added 4 card bases and a few extra coordinating cardstock strips and ended up with 12 cards!  They released the add on kit for the Lovely Lavender card kit today; it's just $11.50 and you can see it here.  It comes with everything but the stamp set & ink spot!  

  *I love these cards so much I'm featuring the add-on kit in a card kit to go in February!  

  Here's another alternative idea I made with the kit: 

  Save

  I used our Deckled Circle dies and the new Love of Spring 'add-on' dies for Paper Pumpkin subscribers.  The 'love' and the label die-cut are from these dies!  These dies can be seen here and are just $12.

  I textured the white circle with the Exposed Brick embossing folder and added a 3/4" Garden Green strip to the Highland Heather card base. The twine is from the kit and the gems are our new Fine Shimmer Purple gems. 

   

  Save

  If you aren't a Paper Pumpkin subscriber I want to consider it. The kits are worlds better than they were in the past. I love receiving one every month and having easy creative projects I can do when I have free time.  No planning or prep; just creative fun! 

  Save

  Here are your choices when subscribing to Paper Pumpkin: 

  1. Purchase a 1, 3, 6 or 12 month subscription here.  *get free Sale-a-Bration choices through February!!
  2. Subscribe to receive a kit each month here.

  I highly recommend getting the 12 month pre-paid choice.  When you do, if you add just $57 more to the 12-month subscription, you'll get 2 more for a total of 6 ($50) SAB choices + $36 hostess rewards + extra $30 hostess rewards! It's a pretty good deal!

  Save

  Did you know that you are in charge of which kits you receive?  Once you purchase a pre-paid subscription or subscribe you can opt out of any kit you do not want. Stampin' Up! shares what's coming up each month so you can decide if you want it or not.  You have complete control!

  *Plus when you subscribe with me, LeeAnn Greff, you'll qualify for a FREE tutorial each month.

  • This tutorial PDF is filled with 10 or more alternate ideas for additional projects you can make with each month's kit (includes photos & instructions) – making your kit go a lot further!  *see example photo below
