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!

  • Two striking ‘WOW’ cards with Paper Strips!


    This week I'm sharing the cards I made on last week's Facebook Live video.  If you aren't following me on Facebook yet click here. I host a video each Tuesday morning at 11 am CT and twice a month on Monday evenings as well. 

    I had a bunch of paper strips leftover from cutting out for cards and kits and created some fun & unique cards with them. 

    This is one of my most favorites of all of the cards I made with my paper strips.  I find the colors stunning together!  

    The colors are Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Smoky Slate, Basic Gray, Bumblebee & Daffodil Delight.  The 1/4" strips are simply adhered to the 4 1/4" X 11" card front and the excess is trimmed off afterwards. 

    These unique flowers are made with the Pierced Bloom dies seen here. Each flower has 4 layers.  

    The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays set; seen here.

    Next is another striking card using the same colorful strips added horizontally this time. 

    The pretty leafy die-cut is from the Christmas Layers dies seen here. They're on sale for $17.40 (was $29) now while supplies last!  the greeting is from the Simply Succulent set seen here.

    Below is the video with 10 unique and amazing cards all made with leftover paper strips!

  • Happy Easter with a Floating Die-cuts Technique card


    Our family gathers together for Easter most of the time; when we can that is. 

    We do jelly bean hunts with our granddaughter inside and an Easter Egg hunt outside weather permitting.  What are your traditions for Easter?   

    I shared this card on last week's Facebook Live when I did Paper Strips Techniques. You can see it here.  

    On this card I adhered strips or punched circles to our Acetate and then used the Oval Dies to cut them out.  I had to run it through multiple times as our acetate is very thick. But it die work!

  • A beautiful scene with the ‘Here’s to You’ kit; a Paper Pumpkin alternate idea


    The March Paper Pumpkin kit included stencils and a sponge in the kit so I had to play with creating a scene.  It's one of my favorite techniques! 

    One of the stencils has clouds in it.  I used Pool Party ink and lightly sponged on the upper part of my White CS. 

    Then I sponged Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral ink about an inch and a half from the bottom edge.  Now I stamped the trees image in the kit with Pretty Peacock ink.  I did not reink the stamp each time so as I stamped repeatedly I achieved the appearance of a distant forest. Love this!!  

    The birds and greeting images also came in this kit.

    • The So Cool Paper Pumpkin Kit is a little taste of summer fun, with enough supplies to make 12 colorful, shaped cards with coordinating envelopes. Six card bases are popsicle shaped, the other six are semicircles: three watermelons and three rainbows. All of the cards are splashed with cheerful, vivid watercolor images.
