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!

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).

• Simple & fun card sketch with Honeybee Home

  February 3, 2022

  ---

  Do you ever use card sketches to get inspired?  I love them!  I find most of them on Pinterest. 

  We use card sketches & color combos on my Flowerbug's Team group for challenges & inspiration.  It's so fun to see the different projects everyone comes up with. This is the sketch we're using now:

  Save

  I used it as inspiration to create this card with the Honeybee Home bundle and the Simply Marbelous designer series paper. 

  Save

  It's such an easy sketch to use.  Some are using card stock, others designer paper and one used ribbon!  

  My card is Basic Bray with Bumblebee accents.  Gray & yellow are beautiful together.  In fact one of my bathrooms has these colors! 

  The Simply Marbelous designer paper was my color inspiration.  This 6 X 6" DSP is free with a $50 Stampin' Up! order through the month of February; or while supplies last.  See it here. 

  Save

  On the video I share my tips on placing these 1/4" strips.  It's a little tricky but entirely doable!  

  Save

  The greeting and flower die are placed on a circle die-cut from the Beautiful Shapes dies seen here.  

  Save

  See this Honeybee Home bundle here.  The stamp set has pretty images & greetings and the dies work great as silhouettes!

• An easy Whitewashing Technique with our Retiring In Colors

  February 2, 2022

  ---

  I had time to play with the Whitewashing technique & our beautiful Calming Camellia stamp set.

  This first card features my top favorite color among the retiring 2020-22 In Colors; Misty Moonlight.  I hope it returns someday! 

  Save

  I decided to cut the pieces down to fit and layer on one 8 1/2" X 11" piece of Basic White CS. I love saving card stock this way.  

  Save

  The In Color pieces measure 3 3/8" X 4 1/2" and the layering White is 3 1/2" X 4 5/8".

  How did I do the Whitewashing Technique?  I use our White Craft ink pad and a water painter.  I added a few drops of the White Craft ink refill to the inside of the ink pad and added water from the brush.  Swirl it around a bit and start painting.  You don't need much if you like it soft; I prefer it pretty diluted. 

  You can see a demonstration in this video; it's the second project. 

  Save

  Heads up!! These 2020-22 In Color will retire at the end of March.  If you have the ink pads, make sure you have the ink refills and grab extra card stock or Designer Paper too!  See all of this color line here. 

  ***Once the retired list comes out these tend to sell out FAST! 

  Here's my other favorite of these In Colors; Just Jade.  I love this pretty, medium toned green.  It fits so beautifully with other colors! 

  Save

  This stamp set is a 'distinktive' set which means it gives multiple hues of color with one inking.  Love these so much! 

  Did you notice that these cards are also monochromatic?  I cannot get enough of a single color with a neutral. This technique truly shows off our gorgeous colors! 

  Save

  The Calming Camellia stamp set is free during Sale-a-Bration with a $300 order.  So if you have a big wishlist you can get this free along with $36 in host rewards AND 6 additional Sale-a-Bration choices too! Click here to see it.
