Masculine Cards Aren't That Difficult

We're still experiencing one of our wettest springs in this part of the world. It seems like summer will never come but we have to make the best of it.  For me one of the good things about summer rainy days is not feeling guilty that you're inside paper crafting and not outside, working in the garden or enjoying the sunshine. At least that's my theory, and I'm sticking to it.

This past week I've been making cards that could be used for any masculine occasion, simply by changing out the sentiments.  All of my sample cards feature Stampin' Up! products from the He's All That Suite which I featured earlier in this post.

Diamond Flip Birthday Card: 

Take a look at this fancy fold called a Diamond Flip. What fun!  I first saw this design on CindyLee Bee Designs blog and after watching Cindy's great instruction video I shamelessly CASed this card. 

Just like the video, I used the Brewed For You Bundle .  I did change up the embossed layer on the diamond with a retired script embossing folder.  If you'd like to try out the Diamond Fold, then check out her awesome card and video here. 

I stamped the sentiment on a 1" strip of Crushed Curry in Momento Black Ink.  Love how it looks on the side of the card.  Seriously  it looks so good! 

I used Crystal Effects to  add a glass like finish to the beer glasses.  

Stamp Set:  Brewed For You #159093

Card Stock:  Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry and Basic Black 

Designer Series Paper:  He's The Man 12 x 12 DSP #1259068

Cut N' Shuffle Technique:

The Cut N' Shuffle technique is a fast way to mix and match designer papers and use up your stash. The paper featured is from the "He's The Man" #159068 designer series paper.  

If you've never heard of the Cut N' Shuffle technique I encourage you to try it.  With every stack you cut you'll make four beautiful cards in no time flat.  My inspiration came from Michelle Satchow of Michelle's Creations blog.  Check out her video tutorial and explanation of the process in this video.  Note: The dsp measurements in my card are a little different from Michelle's but it's the same process.  

My third card features the Book Binding Fold.  You can check out my instructions for making this super fun fancy fold card in this post. 

My next card was a specially designed birthday card for friend's dad who is turning 97 this month.  When making custom designed cards you really have to rely on the details you're provided.  Stampin' Ups! retired Sail Away and Traveller stamp sets, were among the many used to create this montage design.      

This is a slim line card and matching envelope.

The sentiment  on the inside of the card was a digital custom made saying.  

  

I was also asked to custom make a Father's Day card with a "prairie like" design.  I created a backdrop for the weather vein and fence from the Ride The Range stamp and die set with designer series paper called On the Horizon.

Please leave me a comment if you liked these cards and if you have any questions I'll try my best to answer them. 

Happy Stamping!

One For the Guys

Hi everyone.  Father's Day is just around the corner and I've been busy making a variety of Father's Day cards showcasing one of the masculine stamp sets from the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue called ""He's All That".  

This 11-piece red rubber cling stamp set is definitely going to be a keeper.  These vintage images and versatile greetings are perfect for Father's Day, birthdays, and just because.

Product #159071.  STAMP SET ONLY

Product # 159079 THE BUNDLE

 

Here's My Card:

I wanted a bold layered look so the Freshly Made Sketch #537 was the perfect design.  Here's a look at the FMS sketch:

I used the "He's The Man" #159068 designer series paper for my card front layers and it really steals the show. In fact, while I had intended to do more stamping on this card, but the dsp pulled it together very quickly. I also used the Rustic Metallic Adhesive backed dots #159082 to add some manly glam. 

  

I really enjoyed using the label dies from the set.  For the inside of the card I stamped the image on Whisper White and cut it out with the label die.  I then cut out a second label using the rectangular die and mounted the two together.  

This Designer Paper coordinates so well and there is absolutely no waste.  And if you don't have the stamp set to add a sentiment, no worries as there are two pages of labels including the one in the picture that can be applied.  The bow tie was added with dimensionals to the base of the words and a small gem was added to the center. 

Well that's it for today.  Thanks so much for dropping by.  I hope you enjoyed this card.  

Happy Stamping!

Nuts and Bolts for Freshly Made Sketches 536

For all my Canadian friends and family where ever you are, have a happy and safe Victoria Day long weekend.  Hope you're getting sunshine like we are.  Two days in a row, whoo hoo!  Yeah, it's been such a long time.

Speaking of long times, it's been a while since I participated in a card sketch challenge, so I thought I'd dive in with this sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.  The moment I saw it I knew what I wanted to create with this fun sketch.  

Click here to see the Freshly Made Challenge

Here's My Card:  

The Details:  

I fell in love with the red rubber cling stamp set called Nuts and Bolts when the January to February 2022 Sale-a-bration (SAB) started.  It was so cute and FREE in the SAB.  My only problem was I bought so many stamp sets and bundles from the new Mini that I never got around to using it before it retired the end of February.  So when I saw the sketch from FMS I thought here's my perfect opportunity.  

Stamp Set:    

Nuts and Bolts stamp set featured in the January to February Sale-a-bration catalogue.  Product # 157650.  This item is now retired.  

Product #157650 from the 2022 Jan-Feb Sale-a-bration Sale.

• 8 1/ x 5 1/4" Marina Mist for Card Base scored at 4 1/4"
• 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" Misty Moonlight card stock for 1st layer on card front, scrap for sentiment
• Cut two 4" x 5 1/4" Whisper White layers for the front and inside of the card.  Emboss the front panel.
• Additional scraps of Whisper White to stamp the sentiment and robots on.  All the robots were fussy cut and coloured with blends. 

Designer Series Paper:

• 2 1/2" x 6" piece of Simply Marbelous DSP from the Jan/Feb 2022
•  Sale-a-bration catalogue. 
• Punch out three 1 3/4" circles from Simply Marbelous DSP  

Ink:

• Momento Black ink  for sentiment and stamped images.
• Blends - Petal Pink, Pool Party, Smokey Slate and Basic Black light.  

Accessories:

• 1 3/4" circle punch

Well that's it for today's post and for this Freshly Made Sketch challenge.  I hope you enjoyed it.  

HAPPY STAMPING!

Pick of the Crop May Paper Pumpkin Kit

 

Although you wouldn't know it from our current wet weather trend but summer is on its way.  We live in the "berry belt" of Canada so summer berries and fruit are top on our list.  This year in particular because of the shortage of bees and the wet soggy weather we've had our berry crops are taking longer than usual.  We'll just have to have patience and when they arrive  support our local farmers during this hardship time.  Can't wait!  

I also can't wait to get my hands on the May 11 to June 11th "Pick of the Crop" Paper Pumpkin kit.  It looks like it's going to be yummy! 

Check it out on my website store by clicking here. 

The Pick of the Crop Paper Pumpkin kit is chock full of fun and includes many of my favourite colours and berry themes. This all-inclusive kit includes enough supplies to:

• 9 coordinating envelopes (4-1/2" x 5-3/4" (11.4 x 14.6 cm))
• Photopolymer Stamp set to express love, gratitude and style.  The sentiments say “Love you a whole bunch”, “You’re the pick of the crop”, “You are the sweetest,” and so many more
