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!

• Springtime Scenes card with video & free project sheet

  March 23, 2026

  ---

  I shared this card last week with a video and a free project sheet. Think of using any designer paper you own. It’s a great layout!

  Save

  I chose the Easter Joy Specialty paper inspired me with the color theme. Shy Shamrock with Balmy Blue & White. Unusual but it sure works!

  It’s a simple ‘fold back’ fun fold where you add one extra score line at 2 3/4″ to this 11″ X 4 1/4″ card base. Of course it’s scored in half at 5 1/2″ as well. I cut the Balmy Blue layer to perfectly layer onto the inside White. It gives the illusion of multiple layers.

  That pretty die-cut leaf is from the Pleasant Patterns specialty paper seen here. For my stamps & the leaf die I used the Springtime Scenes bundle seen here. I love this set with the neat dies and stamps.

• Get inspired by a sketch with this sweet Splash of Sparkles card

  March 18, 2026

  Each month I give my Flowerbug’s a creative challenge and they can participate if they’d like. This month it was a sketch:

  You can find card sketches like this all over Pinterest or other online sites. I think they’re a wonderful and easy way to create a card. Remember that sketches are a starting point; they don’t have to be exact or even that similar. They’re a great way to be inspired.

  I chose the Splash of Sparkles specialty designer paper for mine. See it here.

  My colors include Bubble Bath, Timid Tiger, Gold & White; all inspired by the beautiful designer paper. Who would have thought to combine these colors together? But the DSP is the magic that makes it work.

  I used a few different products here:

  • The greeting and die-cut are from the Lovely Arrangements bundle.
  • notice the new daisy embossing folder? That is the new Lazy Daisy 3D embossing folder found here. It is currently out of stock, but add your email on the product page to be informed when it’s back.
  • And that pretty Bubble Bath 1/8″ ribbon is wonderful and easy to work with. See it here.
  • The gold foil layer is the Textured Metallic paper seen here.

  Here’s a link to my sketches board on Pinterest. I hope you find some to be inspired by!
