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!

Well Suited all 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).

  • The Sending Smiles bundle is so versatile! Check out these two projects.

    Last week I shared three projects with the Sending Smiles bundle seen here.  I think it's one of the best choices in the new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!  

    I also wanted to use the Pretty Prints designer paper and chose the Bermuda Bay sheet in the package.  I also wanted to use one of the new In Colors and settled on Sweet Sorbet.

    Next I had to choose a coordinating color to soften these two vibrant colors and settled on Blushing Bride.  I was so surprised how well these colors combined!  

    The next thing that inspired this layout was a card sketch we have been working on in my Flowerbug's Team group.  As you can see I changed the main image to be on the angle.  

    Sketch 35 Save

    Sketches are one of my favorite ways to get inspiration on card layouts. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • DSP 4" square
    • White 2 3/4" square
    • Sweet Sorbet 2 7/8" square
    • Glimmer paper strip 3/8" X 4 1/4"  

    Can you see that the flowers are darker in the center and lighter on the outer petals?  I inked the flowers in Sweet Sorbet ink and stamped off once.  Then I used a sponge dauber to add more Sweet Sorbet ink to just the center.  You can see this technique in the video here.

    This next card was a make & take at my New Catalog Launch party a few weeks ago.  I wanted to have a cute but easy card they could make featuring our new In Colors.

    They were able to stamp the flowers easily and perfectly with the Stamparatus. You can see how it's done in the video below.

    One of my favorite thing about this bundle is how versatile the greetings are; so many possibilites! 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4" 
    • White layers are 3 3/4" X 5"
    • Starry Sky is 3 7/8" X 5 1/8" 

    And here's the video; click on the photo below to watch these two cards and one other too.

  • Clean & Simple Blog Hop; Pretty Pop-Up dies

    Welcome to the Control Freak's May blog hop!  The theme is Clean & Simple projects. 

    Control freak welcome Save

    You may have just arrived or hopped over from Wendy's blog.  I'm sure you loved her unique projects. 

    For some reason when I think of clean & simple I lean towards mostly white projects.  I've been wanting to play with my new Pretty Pop-Up dies so here is what I came up with for my first project: 

    Pretty pop up card Save

    It's almost all white; just a few accents of Balmy Blue & Petal Pink.  These Pretty Pop-Up dies do not cut all of the way through; they provide detailed texture and a 'peak' behind the die-cuts.  

    I added a bit of color to some of the flowers and butterflies with Balmy Blue & Petal Pink light blends markers.  To get them to pop up a bit I pushed each die-cut outward with my Take Your Pick tool.  I adhered this 4" X 5 1/4" piece to a smaller piece of Balmy Blue card stock using mini dimensionals.

    The greeting is from the Nature's Thoughts stamp set and on a die-cut from the Natural Prints dies.  I added a 1/4" strip behind this to bring in a bit of Balmy Blue. This card might not be considered true clean & simple but it does only have a few layers!  Ha!

    I stuck with the Balmy Blue & White them for my second card but added a bit of Gray Granite with the Abigail Rose designer paper. 

    I used the smaller oval die for this card and used one of the single dies for the White butterfly.

    The greeting is stamped on a circle die from the Picture This dies and is from the Nature's Thoughts stamp set as well. There is a piece of Vellum card stock behind the Balmy Blue layer. 

    You can see some of the dies I used in the photo below:

  • Sending Smiles card; a fabulous & versatile bundle with video

    I made a bunch of these cards for a swap in April and also demonstrated it on FB Live last Tuesday here.  

    I LOVE the colors of Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis together.  This new lime color of Parakeet Party brightens up our color line and it works with blues & purples beautifully!

    The Sending Smiles bundle seen here is wonderful and was #1 on my list of 'must have's'.

    I made three projects on last week's Facebook Live using this fabulous bundle.  See it here. 

    SENDING SMILES BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    I love the fact that they provided two sizes of the die-cut 'Sending'.  The larger one fits under the finer die-cut like seen on the card below.  But it also fits the stamped greeting image too.  So smart!  

    You can create a variety of flowers with this bundle as you can see.  This flower can be falling like wisteria or growing up like these here; they remind me of grape hyacinth.
