Apr 10, 2014 | Big Shot, Cards, Masculine, Occasions Catalog 2014 |
Today I have a trendy card featuring the Kaleidoscope product Suite from the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog. This card has a unique style – the front is cut short and a piece of Designer Paper is attached on the inside of the card base to show to the front when the card is closed. Here is what the inside looks like
Just something a little different to add interest to this fun card. I tried to stick with the grey, blue, yellow colors in the product suite so it would be a more masculine card. Here are some more notes for you –
- Card base is Crushed Curry
- Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper – the gray strip on the inside and the gray strip on the front, plus the gray circles – punched with the circle from the Punch Pack (***it’s on SALE this week), and the little tiny triangles are cut from one of the prints in the paper pack
- Stamp the images from the Geometrical stamp set using Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, and Basic Gray – punch out with the Triangle Punch
- Stamp Hooray for today on a piece of Whisper White card stock – then cut it with the Banner Framelits – then add one of the arrows on underneath the words
- attach everything to the front of the card (well except the one strip that goes on the inside)
Enjoy! Let me know what you think of this card and what you think about my blog changes.
Nov 7, 2013 | Big Shot, Birthday, Cards, Masculine |
I have a great Masculine Birthday card for you today! It seems that everyone struggles making cards for guys. I have a lot of guys in my family – a husband and 3 sons, a brother, my father, 2 brother in-laws and 2 nephews. That’s 10 compared to 6 girls. anyway…..
I think part of making it masculine has to do with the colors you choose. For this card I used Soft Suede and Summer Starfruit along with the Naturals White card stock.
The background technique is a fun one – I used a brayer to add Soft Suede ink to the top side of the Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder – insert a piece of the Naturals White card stock and then run it through the Big Shot. It embosses the card stock and adds the ink into the recessed areas.
Here are all the elements of the card:
- Soft Suede card base
- the Modern Mosaic embossed layer
- a piece of Summer Starfruit ribbon
- Soft Suede card stock cut with the Deco Labels Framelit
- Naturals White card stock – stamp with Morning Post Numbers stamp set and cut with the Deco Labels Framelit
- Summer Starfruit card stock – stamp with Label Love and punch out with the Artisan Label punch
One more thing you could add which isn’t in this photo but was on one of the cards that I made was the addition of 2 Soft Suede candy dots on either side of the label frame.

Jul 5, 2013 | Birthday, Cards, Masculine, This & That |
This is my version of a card I found on Pinterest. I made a few changes but it is generally the same. I think it make’s a great masculine birthday card.
- Daffodil Delight card base
- Basic Gray layer – embossed with the Chevron Embossing Folder
- Some flags made from the Epic Day Designer Series paper
- Make a Wish from the stamp set called Make a Wish – it is stamped in Basic Gray on Whisper White card stock
- Stamped the splatter from the Paper Pumpkin Welcome kit in the background in Daffodil Delight
- Attach to the Basic Gray layer
- Tie a piece of Basic Gray stitched ribbon around
A fun card that would be easy to create with any of the designer papers in a variety of colors!

May 27, 2013 | Cards, Masculine, Spring Catalog 2013, This & That, Washi Tape |
We are counting down the days – 8 more days left to order from the 2012-2013 Stampin’ Up! catalog – June 3rd is the final day. Remember that stamp sets will be available until the last day but the accessories and Stampin’ Around wheels are only available while supplies last. You can see the most current list by checking out my website online store and look under the category Retiring Products.
This card actually has some Spring Catalog and Sneak peek items – not really anything from the retired list. The Silver Designer Buttons and Feel Goods stamp set are from the Spring catalog. I thought this was a fun way to use the new Washi Tape from the This & That collection that will be coming in the new catalog. Just put strips across the card and then stamp directly on top of them – something fairly bold like the Feel Goods stamp set.
Don’t forget my special offer going on right now for anyone placing an order through my online store – it’s almost over. Read more about it HERE.
