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.
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).

Look at this super cute Fun Fold card featuring the Gift Wrapped bundle seen here!

I LOVE the bright, eye-catching colors she choose; Granny Apple Green & Poppy Parade. Can you see that she used both the Light & Dark colors in these Blends markers?

She also used the Wink of Stella on the punched bow and 'ribbon' on the front. See that cute baby tag? That's part of the punch too!

Can you see how the front flap catches on the greeting on the left? Love this!

Clear Block Stamping; a fun & easy background for quick cards!

October 13, 2020
Have you ever tried Block Stamping? If you have a clear block and ink pads you can do this!

I shared these cards on Facebook Live last week Tuesday. You can watch the replay below. Remember every Tuesday morning at 11 am CT I'm Live on FB here.

I chose a few different stamp sets and inks for the cards I made. I also have a few tips for you when doing this technique.

The above card features Soft Seafoam and In The Pines stamp set. The White layer is 4 3/4" X 3 1/2". I inked the 'H' block in Soft Seafoam ink and spritzed it with a mixture of rubbing alcohol and Champagne Shimmer Paint.

You can use water but that takes longer to dry and I wanted a bit of shimmer. Shimmer Paint mixes well with rubbing alcohol. I added random strips of Shaded Spruce CS across the card. Quick & easy!

This card features Calypso Coral (2" X 5 1/2"), Petal Pink and the Queen Anne's Lace stamp set. The textured layer is from the set of Wrapped in Texture embossing folders.

Can you see the marbling effect here? I inked the block in Seaside Spray ink and then added a few swirls of Misty Moonlight with a Stampin' Write marker. *Watch the video below.

I used the Snowflake Wishes set on this card and the Flowers for Every Season ribbon/twine combo pack. The colors are Seaside Spray & Misty Moonlight. The White layer is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" and the Misty Moonlight is 3 3/4" square – a scrap I had.

Tips on the Clear Block Technique:
- Use a light color of ink
- Choose a block that fits on your card stock
- Ink it and spritz with either water or rubbing alcohol until it almost starts to puddle.
- Add a swirl of darker color with a marker after inking the block and before spritzing.
- Alcohol dries faster than water
- Add a bit of Shimmer Paint to your alcohol for additionals glitz!
- Whisper White card stock works just fine; no need for thicker papers
