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!

  • Pretty Funfold card swaps by my talented Team!


    Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you have a wonderful holiday! 

    Today I'm sharing the last batch of swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team. Our swap theme was to feature glitz, shine or glimmer.  They truly did their best to show off our beautiful specialty papers!

    Jacki made this card using the Night Divine dies seen here.  *Unfortunately it's retiring and available while supplies last. 

    What a gorgeous card and the nativity die-cut is beautiful with the stars DSP background.  It's actually an easy fun fold too.  Unfortunately this pretty Shining Brightly designer paper is gone and out of stock. There are more products unavailable each day! The Last Chance list is brutal! *see all items retiring here. 

    Her colors are simple but stunning – Night of Navy, Vanilla and Gold. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
    • DSP 2 3/4" X 3" and 1" X 5 1/4"
    • Gold Foil 3" X 3 1/4" and 1 1/8" X 5 3/8"
    • White inside 4" X 5 1/4", plus die-cuts

    Next is a uniquely special New Year's card made by Paula. 

    Her colors include Gray Granite, Silver & White. Like I said, it's uniquely beautiful and an easy fun fold too. 

    Measurements & products used:

    • Gray Granite card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 3" & 7 1/4"
    • Silver glimmer paper 2 3/4" X 5 1/4" & 1" X 5 1/4" (sold out now)
    • Naturally Gilded DSP (online exclusive) 2 1/2" X 5" &  3/4" X 5"
    • leaf die-cut – Artistic dies from Annual catalog
    • Greeting die-cuts Nested Essentials (Annual catalog)

    She used the Artistic dies to sponge a little detail inside her card.  Love it!

    This is the third batch of swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team for our November Glitz, Shine & Glimmer swap.

    The Stars at Night & Night Divine bundles are both on the Last Chance list & available while supplies last. It looks like the Shining Brightly paper is sold out…..

    Next is an amazing 'Swing & Swap' card by Sharon. I might accuse her of being an overachiever with this card as it's over the top amazing!
