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

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!

  • The Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin kit is stunning! *get a pre-paid subscription & earn free SAB choices!

    I received my January Paper Pumpkin kit yesterday and for the first time ever, I sat down and finished the entire kit!  Here are my cards.  


    Jan Lovely Lavender PP Save

    The original kit makes 8 cards and 4 tags.  I added 4 card bases and a few extra coordinating cardstock strips and ended up with 12 cards!  They released the add on kit for the Lovely Lavender card kit today; it's just $11.50 and you can see it here.  It comes with everything but the stamp set & ink spot!  

    *I love these cards so much I'm featuring the add-on kit in a card kit to go in February!  

    Here's another alternative idea I made with the kit:

    I used our Deckled Circle dies and the new Love of Spring 'add-on' dies for Paper Pumpkin subscribers.  The 'love' and the label die-cut are from these dies!  These dies can be seen here and are just $12.

    I textured the white circle with the Exposed Brick embossing folder and added a 3/4" Garden Green strip to the Highland Heather card base. The twine is from the kit and the gems are our new Fine Shimmer Purple gems.

    If you aren't a Paper Pumpkin subscriber I want to consider it. The kits are worlds better than they were in the past. I love receiving one every month and having easy creative projects I can do when I have free time.  No planning or prep; just creative fun!

    Here are your choices when subscribing to Paper Pumpkin: 

    1. Purchase a 1, 3, 6 or 12 month subscription here.  *get free Sale-a-Bration choices through February!!
    2. Subscribe to receive a kit each month here.

    I highly recommend getting the 12 month pre-paid choice.  When you do, if you add just $57 more to the 12-month subscription, you'll get 2 more for a total of 6 ($50) SAB choices + $36 hostess rewards + extra $30 hostess rewards! It's a pretty good deal!

  • Gorgeous Rocker cards with a video tutorial & free project sheet!

    Here's another special card I shared on last week's Live video. It's called a 'rocker card'. 

    Softly Stippled rocker card Save

    The pretty roses are from the Softly Stippled designer series paper – seen here in our Sale-a-Bration catalog. I fussy cut the roses on the upper circles and colored them with Pool Party ink and a Wink of Stella. I love coloring with my Wink of Stella as it adds a beautiful shimmer. Watch the video below to see how. 

    It's made with our Deckled Circle dies seen here. There are a ton of them in the set – 14 sizes! They carried over from our Holiday catalog and can be seen online.

    For the card base I used the second from the largest die; it's almost 5 1/2" wide. Once you cut it, score it in half at 2 3/4". 

    Of course you'll use the next size down for the front half layer and the inside.

    I post at least two of these free tutorials each week!  I hope you'll subscribe to my blog. Go to the right side and click on 'get email updates'.  Then you won't miss a thing! 

    The second sample was made with Calypso Coral & Pebbled Path. It seems like Pebbled Path is a perfectly beautiful color to pair most of our soft colors with. 

    My greetings are from the Softly Sophisticated bundle seen here. It's paired with a beautiful embossing folder and is free with any $100 purchase from Stampin' Up!.

  • Wow – Texturing Vellum is a fabulous effect! Check out this pretty Softly Sophisticated card

    I couldn't stop playing with the Softly Stippled designer paper and the Softly Sophisticated bundle!  This card came together by using a sketch layout I saw online.

    There are so many neat details on this card; I'll list a few of them.  

    • Check out the textured vellum!  It's done with the Softly Sophisticated folder (sale-a-Bration choice). Our vellum cardstock doesn't crack!
    • The pretty Softly Stippled designer paper seen here in the background adds even more texture. 
    • The dotted rectangle die-cut is from the Everyday Details dies seen here. 
    • Check out the ribbon treatment. I tied a bow around the Pool Party ribbon (Sale-a-Bration choice) with the Pebbled Path jute twine – separated into one strand. 
    • The stamps are from the Softly Sophisticated bundle seen here – gorgeous greetings and 2-step florals.

    I've mentioned it before but I'm finding our new Pebbled Path to be a wonderful neutral color with our soft subtle colors. It's brown but with a slight gray tone to it.  Lovely!
