Our first card features a simple layout paired with the mesmerizing Fractured Glass technique. This technique adds a unique dimension to your cards and is surprisingly easy to create.

You can view “HOW TO” make this card by “CLICKING HERE” and viewing my YouTube video sharing this technique.

For my second card, we’re going to elevate the design by incorporating a cut piece of designer paper into one of the fractured glass sections. This adds visual interest and complexity to the card while still maintaining the playful theme of Let’s Go Fishing.

This card also includes a bit more layering with a Misty Moonlight mat and Mossy Meadow card base. By incorporating a cut piece of designer paper into the fractured glass design, you’ve taken your card to the next level, creating a visually captivating masterpiece that is sure to make a splash!

While the Let’s Go Fishing Designer Paper may be currently sold out, the creative possibilities with any pretty paper are endless.

A Handcrafted Masculine Card in Green & Gold

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, Man Cards, Valentines & Love by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

In this blog post, we’ll explore the creation of a stunning card using the Most Adored Specialty paper and incorporating the captivating “Ink Dragging Technique.” The result is a visually striking combination of Shaded Spruce and Gold, enhanced further by the use of Gold Foil sheets and a touch of sentiment from the “He’s All That” stamp set.

To begin, select the Most Adored Specialty Paper as the canvas for your card. To add depth and dimension, employ the Ink Dragging Technique using Shaded Spruce ink. The gentle strokes of color will create a captivating visual effect, giving the paper an alluring quality.

Next, I introduced the Gold Foil Sheet to complement the rich Shaded Spruce tones. Cut and layer the foil strategically / cutting diagonally allowing it to bring out the luxurious gold accents on the card. For a heartfelt touch, use the “He’s All That” stamp set to heat emboss your sentiment in gold. Once embossed, utilize the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch to give the sentiment a distinctive shape, adding a touch of sophistication to the card.

On The Flip Side:

When you turn over the Most Adored gold pattern it reveals a delightful surprise on the flip side. Against a backdrop of flirty flamingo, white floral hearts bloom, creating a charming contrast. This pretty design adds an element of playfulness to our overall card design. 

For the greeting, I used the “Sending Smiles” stamp set and coordinating Sending dies. Cut out the delicate elements and arrange them onto your card front. To accentuate the design, embellish with silver pearls from the Festive Pearls package. These pearls add a touch of elegance to our card.

Crafting a handmade greeting card is an art form that allows for the expression of creativity and thoughtfulness. By showcasing the allure of the Most Adored Specialty Paper, either card is sure to leave a lasting impression on its recipient.

Thanks for taking time out of your Sunday to check out my cards today.

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I have and cards for you showcasing a FUN Background using the Gone Fishing Bundle and the Lets Go Fishing Designer Series paper. You’ll see though watching the video how easy it is to create this fun background, along with some tips and I share my “discovery” of what other bundle works GREAT with the NEW Gone Fishing Bundle.

Let’s watch, then I’ll share the cards again with you …

So easy to make this fun background with scrap paper … and just think of all the different occasions you can create for!! The dimensions are in the video and I leave them up for a while so you can easily write them down as well.

This is the one that I create during the video … don’t forget, there is a coordinating die for that fish!! lol I have just fallen in love with this suite. Watch for more!!

Background is the same on this next card … a little different as far as paper strips but I used the dies from the “All That” dies to create an award ribbon to show Dad that he’s the best.

So … who is going to try this out? Or have you already. I do have another card with this pattern but with different designer paper .. WOW! It’s a whole different look. I will share that with you tomorrow.

Thank you for stopping in and sittin’ a spell. Enjoy your Wednesday!!

In Search of a Masculine Anniversary Card?

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Are you In Search of a Masculine Anniversary Card? I have the answer for you … the He’s All That Bundle. I know that my stampin’ friends who camp and travel are going to love this next card. I’ve shared cards for Father Day … Birthdays … why not Anniversaries!!

I’m using a fun pattern from the designer paper that highlights campers and trees in the colors of Soft Succulent and Early Espresso. I borrowed the “Happy Anniversary” from the Celebrating You stamp set. I heat embossed the greeting with Basic White embossing powder.

My Early Espresso card base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ then scored and folded at 4-1/4″. Then I used a “split panel” … the top one measuring 5-1/4″ x 2-1/2″ and the bottom measures 5-1/4″ x 1″. Both panels are popped up using the Foam Adhesive Strips … this allows our designer paper to be highlighted and gives are card a fun dimension!

The badge was stamped in Early Espresso on Soft Succulent and die cut using one of the dies included in the He’s All That Bundle include in the He’s the Man Suite! It was attached to the two panels to create a bridge and it looks cool! lol

I hope you are enjoying all the different styles I’ve shown using this suite … and hopefully I covered most of the color pallets included in the suite. I also wanted to share several different layouts with you … all of which you can easily recreate!

With the Annual Catalog retiring at the end of April, I wanted to showcase some of my favorite “Masculine” bundles …. a change up from all the flowers!!

Twelve Days of Christmas: Masculine Twisted Ribbon

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, Man Cards by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I little change of plans today. Instead of the final holiday project, I’ve decided to share a “Masculine” Twisted Ribbon technique. Readership has been going down with the 12 days so I thought you might find this more appealing.

This is one of the cards that we made at our December Stamp Club …

I used the He’s All That bundle and the He’s the Man Specialty Designer Series paper. This patterned paper is packed with bold patterns in neutral colors. Choose from antique cars, camping gear, suits and ties, and more. You’ll also find versatile patterns such as diamonds, stripes, and plaids. Mix and match the patterns with the coordinating die-cut images.

This papercrafting staple is great scrapbook paper, card making paper, and more! Ask your demonstrator about coordinating products.

I hope you enjoyed a different version of this fun technique. If you missed the video, you can see it HERE.

Here are the links to the products that I used in today’s card ….

Lighthouse Mash-Up ….

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

It’s a Tuesday Two Bundle Mash Up … time for some fun today. Let’s take two new bundles and mash them together to create an amazing card. Let’s use the He’s the Man bundle from the He’s All That suite and introduce it to the Lighthouse Point bundle. You knew that was going to be a “must” on my wish list!!

I’m using the compass stamp from the He’s the Man bundle to create my background … I’m using the NEW Starry Sky In-Color cardtock and ink.

The Starry Sky card base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ then scored and folded at 4-1/4″. The card front that I stamped on measures 5-1/4″ x 4″. I popped up the front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The Lighthouse was die cut from the bundle … it has all the dies to make a super easy assembly. Who knew building a lighthouse could be this easy! If you want to learn more about the Lighthouse Point bundle, join me tonight on my Facebook LIVE. I’ll be sharing more about this great bundle.

The sentiment comes from the Lighthouse Point bundle and I used the dies to cut and mat it. The colors used with the Starry Sky was Real Red and Basic White … very nautical! I added a touch of Crushed Curry as a compliment to the blue. Really pops too … doesn’t it!?

Thank you for joining me today … I hope you join me tonight at 6:30 Central Time to see more with the Lighthouse Point bundle. CLICK HERE to get to my Facebook page.

Masculine Anniversary Card

Simply Sunday: With You I’m Never Lost

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I have yet another card from the He’s the Man suite!! This one is super easy, super quick and super cute! Perfect for your Super Man!

I’m using the die cuts that are included in the He’s the Man designer paper. These make creating your cards or scrapbook pages quick & easy. I just had to use the Layering Designs Vellum with the road map on it… it goes perfect with my card today.

I’m using Cajun Craze for the card base of 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ then scored and folded at 4-1/4″. The Basic White mat is 4″ x 5-1/4″ and the He’s the Man designer paper is cut the same at 4″ x 5-1/4″ …. I wanted a bright visual to highlight the map.

The “Never Lost” die cut actually had a tent on it which I covered up with my car. Then I used dimensionals to pop up both the sentiment and the car. I used Mini Glue dots to attach my stars. For the stars I picked the three different colors to tie in all the colors of the main images… Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze and Soft Succulent.

I just fell in love with this card the minute those dies cut pieces landed on that map! This card would not only work for a birthday or Father’s Day but also a great “Thank You” card for that special someone who “goes out of their way” to help!

Thank you so much for going on this mini journey with me today …

Have a wonderful Sunday!!

I have the supply list of items listed below for your convenience.

New Horizons Trio of Cards!

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, Man Cards by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I will be sharing the two cards that I made during my Facebook Live last night, plus another card I created with the left over designer paper from the second card! I used the New Horizons suite … and highlighted how amazing the coordinating dies look with the designer paper.

Let’s start the fun off with the video …

Now that you watched the video, let’s get a close up of those cards. The first card begins with a 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ Basic White card base. The New Horizons Designer paper was cut to 5″ x 4-3/4″ with a Basic Black mat that was cut to 5-1/8″ x 4-7/8″.

It’s amazing what a little ribbon and a die cut can do for a card … and it’s so easy to make because the “work” is already done for you with this stunning designer paper. Stampin’ Up! gets two thumbs up from me … I LOVE this Suite!

My second card highlights the fence and grasses die … It really does look like an invitation to walk into the sunset, doesn’t it!?

The stamping of the background is an old technique but one I pull out quite a bit. It really does create a sense of depth and texture without adding any bulk to your card, we’ll save that for our dies ❤

The third card is actually the other half of the designer paper from our second card, and I simple cut the 5″ x 3″ piece into equal 1″ strips. I would suggest to cut down the 5″ to 4-3/4″ as it would make a nicer border around your card instead of going almost to the bottom.

This card has a few more layers but it is not hard to do, let’s start with our base;

  • The Evening Evergreen Base: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ then score at 4-1/4″ and fold
  • The Evening Evergreen Mat: 5-1/4″ x 4″ … Textured with the Hammered Metal Embossing Folder
  • Designer Paper: Three strips of 1″ x 4-3/4″ with a mat of Basic Black (3) 1-1/8″ x 4-7/8″

These are all layered directly on top of each other but if you wanted to add additional dimension to your card, you could secure the layers with Stampin’ Dimensionals and pop them up.

The greeting was stamped in black and punched with the Tailored Tag punch. A second punch was done with Basic Black so we could mat the greeting … this has been popped up with dimensionals and embellished with the Silver & Clear Epoxy elements. I then colored them with the Stampin’ Blends.

Don’t forget … Sale-a-bration is in full swing and you will receive a FREE Sale-a-bration item with the purchase of this suite … Add the Take Your Pick Tool, the Silicone mat… whatever you’d like and you’ll have enough for 2 FREE items or a Level 2 Sale-a-bration item. CLICK HERE TO VIEW CATALOG

Thank you for hanging out with me today, and I hope you are just as excited as I am for this new suite, and that I’ve inspired you to get back in your stamp room! Have fun 🙂

Masculine Cards: Fathers Day & Birthday

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, Man Cards by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

With Father’s Day creeping up on us quickly, I though it would me nice to share some cards created from the Well Suited Suite which can be found on page 66 and 67 of the Mini Catalog.

The suite includes the Handsomely Suited Stamp set, Suite & Ties Dies … both carried over to the Annual Catalog, and the Well Suited Designer Paper and the Well Suited Twine … both retiring!

Today we are going to begin just using simply; stamps * ink * paper! Isn’t this how the whole “stamping” thing got started? My color pallet will be Night of Navy, Merry Merlot and Basic White … masculine. I started with my base in Night of Navy and my mat in Merry Merlot and my Basic White to stamp on, and I choose the ties!

The greeting was stamped on a piece of scrap that I had lying around and fit it well, and then I added some Night of Navy to mat the greeting.

Next up, I thought I would use the ties again, however I’m introducing the Well Suited Designer Paper and the Suite & Ties Dies …

First, I used a simple yet masculine design from the Well Suited Designer Series paper as my background, and then using 3 other patterns of designer paper … I cut out my ties with the coordinating tie dies! It’s so much fun pick patterns and make your own ties! I felt like I could sew again … LOL!!!

Next up … I’m going all out, it’s time to introduce “A Sharp Dressed Man”!! I picked out two patterns from the Well Suited Designer Series Paper; one that reminded me of tweed and the other is paisley! That is how I started …

Your card base begins as any other; 8-1/2″ x 11″ and scored at 5-1/2″ … fold in half and your ready to dress your card. I took the “tweed” pattern paper and with the coordinating dies, cut out the suit. You get the suit and lapels.

The shirt consists of the White card base and the die cut collar … it is so easy to create. HOWEVER, before you adhere down the suit, you need tuck the tie under the collar and and suit. I just love that paisley tie!! You could add a pocket, buttons and more to dress up your card, the dies have them all.

This will be your last chance to purchase the suite as it retires at the end of the month, so the “bundle” with 10% saving … the Designer paper … and Bakers Twine will be gone. Let me know if you have any questions, and thank you for hanging out with me today.

Simply Sunday: Stamps * Ink * Paper

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Happy Sunday to you! I hope you got the chance to see all my cards created from the Ice Cream Corner suite. Today I’m going from yummy to masculine as I kick off a series of cards created from the Well Suited Suite which can be found on page 66 and 67 of the Mini Catalog.

The suite includes the Handsomely Suited Stamp set, Suite & Ties Dies, Well Suited Designer Paper and the Well Suited Twine ….

Today we are just using simply; stamps * ink * paper! Isn’t this how the whole “stamping” thing got started? My color pallet will be Night of Navy, Merry Merlot and Basic White … masculine. I started with my base in Night of Navy and my mat in Merry Merlot and my Basic White to stamp on, and I choose the ties!

The ties with the diamond shapes are stamped in Night of Navy and the one with the stripes was stamped in Merry Merlot … they are pretty easy to line up but you can always use your Stamparatus if you want it perfect. I started with the Merry Merlot tie in the center and then stamped the two in Night of Navy.

The greeting was stamped on a piece of scrap that I had lying around and fit it well, and then I added some Night of Navy to mat the greeting.

Such a nice masculine card that is easy to make! There is also a birthday greeting in the stamp set and a few others so you can send many masculine cards throughout the year.

Thank you for stopping by this Sunday, and I hope you have a wonderful day. Be sure to stop back tomorrow to see how I step up this card!
