Timeless Plaid card kit for great men’s card ideas. Reserve yours now!

April 4, 2025

If you're like me you tend to make more cards for the gals than the guys. So I thought I'd focus on men's cards for one of my kits & tutorials in April. I chose to feature the Timeless Plaid designer series paper for these terrific cards.

Aren't these great card ideas? Many are fancy fold cards and perfect for the men in your life. The color combinations with the plaid DSP are quite eye catching.

You have a few options here: Choose the pre-cut kit or the PDF tutorial.

This card kit includes the following items:

the pre-cut card kit including punched and die-cut elements
1/2 pkg Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper (6" X 6")
a share of the Faux Glass Dots
a share of Linen Thread
the PDF tutorial with photos, measurements, a supply list and step by step directions.

The PDF tutorial is $16 and can be seen here. The pre-cut kit is $31 and is seen here.

Reserve yours soon! The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after purchase. The kit is sent out at the end of April barring inventory/supply issues.

For the kit to go you'll need greeting images (I used With You in Mind and Unbounded Love sets but any will work), adhesives, inks and a paper trimmer to cut your new designer paper.

I have multiple kits and tutorials available on my shop here. Check them out!

Beautiful Team Swaps; featuring a tree theme

April 12, 2022

Last weekend we held our monthly Flowerbug's Team meeting and swap. I can't wait to share all of the cards with you! Our theme was to use leaves, trees or water on a card and each and every one is amazing!!! I'll share a few each day this week.

First is a card made by Annette featuring the Beauty of the Earth designer paper.

Save

The clean and simple design really shows off this beautiful designer paper – Beauty of the Earth. It is on the retiring list right now; see it here. The bottom strip of a line of trees is one of the papers in this pack. What a perfect way to show it off and how well it coordinates with another sheet she used for her large circle. The sentiment is from 'In the Moment' stamp set. This was cased from Rachael Tessman.

Next is a card created by Marilyn. She also used the pretty Beauty of the Earth designer paper.

The card stock is Night of Navy and she used Old Olive accents with the Bough Punch. The dies are the Stitched So Sweetly which are on the retiring list and one I'm soooo sad to see going away! See it here.

Her card is a fun fold – Card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4" on the 8 1/2" side. The DSP is1 7/8" X 5 1/4"

Next is a pretty card made by Tracey. She is featuring the Beauty of Friendship bundle seen here.

Save

Her main image is stamped on our 12 X 12" Linen paper seen here. After stamping her tree and cloud she colored the background with Blends markers! Who knew you could stamp & color on it so beautifully!?

She adhered the linen (since it's adhesive-backed) to her paper first. Then used the Take Your Pick tool to pull away some of the threads on the sides. Isn't this amazing!

I'll share more of our Flowerbug's incredible swap cards tomorrow.

Neat Accordion Window Flip card fold with Crane of Fortune with video!

April 11, 2022
I shared a few fun fold cards on last week's Tuesday Facebook Live. I featured the Crane of Fortune bundle from the 2022 Spring Catalog by Stampin' Up! This bundle is not returning in the new Annual Catalog next month. See it here

Save

It's beautiful in Gray Granite, Calypso Coral and Evening Evergreen. The colors were chosen because of the Symbols of Fortune specialty DSP. It's gorgeous! The photo below does NOT do it justice!

The Good Fortune dies coordinate with this designer paper. I was able to cut the pretty flower on the front directly from this paper. I did fussy cut the smaller flower to add above it.

Isn't this a neat fun fold? And it's so easy too. Watch the video below or click here. It includes another unique fun fold as well as an easy card with your designer paper.

Save

I die-cut the window and the rectangle layers with the Stitched Rectangle dies seen here. Love these dies!
