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

April 7, 2021

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.

You’re a Peach fun fold swap card

May 26, 2021
I actually love to create swap cards. There's something rewarding about creating multiples of the same cards.

How do swaps work? I know many people are curious…. You create one design and make multiples of it; usually for as many of that card as there are people in the swap. Swapping saves so much time and you get samples using products you don't have to buy. There are so many benefits of swapping but for most of us, the main reasons are it's fun and to get samples we didn't have to design.

I have gals in my Flowerbug's Team that join just so they can swap! Right now the JOIN+ offer is so great I hope you'll consider it if you are not already a Demonstrator. The value is incredible! If you have a wish list over $150 you really need to consider this!

I created the card below for a Flowerbug Team swap this month. My gals can take part in our monthly swaps if they'd like to. It's a great opportunity to get a variety of cards to use or share.

For this card I used the You're a Peach suite seen here. It's on pages 60-61 in the Annual catalog.

Save

The card base is Pale Papaya and I added Balmy Blue, Pear Pizzazz, Calypso Coral and White accents. The greeting die is from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here. I layered it with Pale Papaya CS.

You might wonder how I achieved the 'blushing' peach image. I inked the three peaches (all on one stamp) in Pale Papaya and before I stamped I sponged on a bit of Calypso Coral on the outer edges of each.

Here's the sequence of stamping the main image:
1. Stamp the leaves image twice on the White CS using Pear Pizzazz ink. I stamped off once first.
2. Ink and stamp the peaches using the technique mentioned above.
3. Add Balmy Blue ink all over using Blending Brushes. Be sure to use a light hand and start off of the card stock.
Here's a look at the inside:

Measurements:
- Pale Papaya card base 5 1/2" square, score at 4 1/4"

Beauty of Friendship Fun Fold card

May 25, 2021
Finally I can share this beautiful fun fold card we made at my May Card Clubs!

I like to wait until after all of my Clubs are held so I can surprise them with the cards we're making. I'm not sure why; it's just a habit now after many years of doing it that way!

I chose to use the Beauty of Friendship bundle (seen here) to make this unique 'Latch fold'.

Save

I chose to use a few of our new In Colors; So Succulent & Evening Evergreen along with Pool party. It sure created a pretty, almost monochromatic card. Everyone sure loved it; which is always my goal!

Save

This fold is very deceiving but so simple! Just a little trick at the end to put it all together. Watch the video below!

Save

Download the Beauty of Friendship latch fold card project sheet or use these measurements:
- Pool Party 5 1/2" X 6 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", 3 1/2" X 3 1/4" scored at 2 3/4" along the 3 1/4" side
  Whisper White 2" X 5 1/4", 2 1/2" X 3 1/4" and 4" X 5 1/4" inside, plus a scrap for die-cut
  Evening Evergreen – scrap for 2 1/4" circle

Pretty Perennials ‘Happy’ card with video

May 24, 2021

I wanted to use the Pretty Perennials bundle for my April clubs and I found a card like this on Pinterest. I love the fresh color combination of Daffodil Delight, Smoky Slate and Calypso Coral!

Save

The Perennial dies were used here along with a few others; the recently retired Stitched Shapes and the Stitched So Sweetly dies. The pretty embossing folder is the Dainty Diamonds and I'm sad to say it did retire last month.

Here's the Pretty Perennials bundle. This did not make it in the new Annual catalog and is retiring next month and it will be while supplies last.

Save

I love this set for the flowers but the greetings are the star in my opinion. There are so many ways to use the 'happy' with the rest of the words. My favorite is 'Happy Mail'. Who wouldn't love getting a card with that saying? It could also be stamped on the outside of your envelope as well.

Save

For the inside I used an oval die-cut and added a fun greeting from the Happiest of Birthday's set.

Save

I made a quick video on putting this card together. You can see it below.
