Sunday Fun Day: Wild & Sweet masculine birthday card

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! Today's theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog is masculine cards. Oddly enough, I chose the theme several months ago and then struggled to make a card because most of my masculine sets retired.

 

 

  Thankfully, I had ordered this fun Wild & Sweet stamp set from the new Annual catalog and it worked great with the new Artistic Mix decorative masks, which I colored with the Blending Brush. To add more dimension to the stamped image, I used a few Watercolor Pencils. Click on any of the photos to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store to place an order (don't forget to use Host Code KDZFB6MW with your online order at checkout through July 30th). 

 

 

 

 

  I didn't have any masculine DSP so decided to make my own for the front of the card. I used soft suede ink and a blending brush along with the plaid design mask from the Artistic Mix decorative masks. I also wanted to add some texture, so scored vertical lines into the mossy meadow card stock panel and had the embossed side show.  Lastly, I added a little more texture by "sueding" the early espresso strip of card stock across the stamped panel.  I think I pulled off masculine, don't you?   

  Want to make one yourself? Here are the card stock dimensions that I used for my project today:

Card Dimensions

Base card: Soft Suede CS 11” x 4-1/4″ scored at 5 1/2″

Card front strip: Mosssy Meadow CS 4-3/4″ x 2″, scored every 1/4" vertically

Card front panel: Crumb Cake CS 3-1/2″ x 3"

Sueded strip: Early Espresso 3-1/2" x 1/4"

 

 

 

 Here is a closer look at the front of the card. It is a little easier to see the sueded texture on the early espresso strip. To achieve that effect, use a bone folder and rub it along the card stock like you do with scissors and curling ribbon - you're essentially breaking the fibers of the card stock. After a few times you'll see that the card stock starts to split - carefully pry it apart into two strips. One side will be smooth, but the inside will have this wonderful texture that looks like suede. I glued one side across the panel, then folded the other in half at a slight angle and tore the ends to add even more texture and glued it down. It looks almost like ribbon, but isn't! I also used watercolor pencils to color in the grass (old olive), the raccoon's fur (basic gray) and added just a teeny bit of white to the eyes to make them pop a little more. It pulls the colors of the card together nicely and gives the raccoon image a little more dimension.

 

 

    Here's one more look at my card.  For even more masculine card ideas and inspiration, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week.

Sunday Fun Day: Sailing Home card set

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing projects created using the Sailing Home stamp set.  I decided to make a card set once again using the Harvest Meadow DSP and featuring a color combo of Crumb Cake, Misty Moonlight and Basic White.

 

  When I looked at this stamp set I knew I wanted to use Misty Moonlight since it reminds me of the blue ocean.  I remembered that Misty Moonlight is included in the Harvest Meadow DSP and that I had used the crumb cake pattern last week for the monochromatic card. I thought it would work great with this stamp set. In addition, I also used the Stitched So Sweetly dies, Checks and Dots embossing folders and twine from the Flowers for Every Occasion ribbon pack.   To purchase the items used with today's project - please hop over to my Stampin' Up! store or click on any of the images above.

 

 

 

  This first card is a thank you card and features the large sail boat image which fit perfectly in the largest label die from the Stitched So Sweetly set.  I wanted to add some fun texture so used the checkered embossing folder from the Checks and Dots set.  I added a simple strip of crumb cake card stock stamped with the Thanks sentiment and notched the ends with my paper snips.  I left the inside of the card blank.

 

 

 

  My second card features the lighthouse image that I stamped on crumb cake card stock. I added a simple bow tied from the bakers twin included in the Flowers for Every Occasion pack.  I tried stamping the Congrats directly on the DSP, but it didn't show up well enough so I stamped it again on a strip of basic white card stock, notched the end and added it to the DSP.  A simple card, but I really like how it turned out!

  For even more ideas and inspiration using the Sailing Home stamp set, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog.

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!

Sunday Fun Day: Sailing Home sympathy cards

  Hello and Happy Sunday!  For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we created sympathy cards.  Sadly, this is a type of card that we will always need.  I usually go with a nature-themed stamp set for my sympathy cards, but decided to expand my creativity and use the Sailing Home stamp set to create these cards. I'll be honest, I bought this stamp set thinking it would be great for masculine cards.  But I really like the way these turned out for sympathy cards now that I made a few.

 

  In addition to the Crumb Cake, Misty Moonlight and Very Vanilla card stock, I used the Sailing Home stamp set, Label Me Lovely punch and Linen Thread shown above. If you're interested in ordering any of these products, click the photos above to visit my Stampin' Up! store.  Please keep reading below to see photos of the individual cards.  

 

 

  Here is another view of my two cards featuring this stamp set and color palette.  Both are on the more masculine side and I really love this color combination!  Misty Moonlight is an In Color (2020-2022) that I have been using a lot lately - it is such a nice shade of blue!

 

 

  Here are photos of my first card. For this card I only used soft suede ink for the stamped images/sentiment and sponged every layer with crumb cake ink. I liked the idea of having a knotted rope border and used my retired Stamp-a-ma-jig to line them up on the very vanilla card stock strip. I also created a fun piece of patterned paper using the anchors on the Crumb Cake card stock.  The sentiment was cut out using my favorite Label Me Lovely punch. I left the inside of the card blank with only an anchor image in the lower corner to allow for more writing to the recipient.  This sentiment works perfectly for someone grieving, but also for someone who is going through a rough time.

 

 

  For my second card, I wanted to use one of the sailboat images from the stamp set and went with a Very Vanilla card base.  I stamped the sailboat and sentiment using Misty Moonlight ink and then stamped the sea gulls and anchor (which I fussy cut) using soft suede ink. Again, I sponged all layers (except the card base) with crumb cake ink. In addition, I added two strips of linen thread to add a nautical feel to the card.  There is an anchor stamped on the inside of this card just like the other.

 

 

  Here is one last look at my card set.  Which one is your favorite?  I hope I have inspired you to make a sympathy card (or two) using a stamp set that is a little outside the box!  Don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for even more sympathy card ideas and inspiration.

Sunday Fun Day: Rooted in Nature card set

  Thanks so much for visiting today and checking out my Sunday Fun Day project for the Sisters in Stamping blog.  We are sharing projects featuring retiring products, and I decided to use the Rooted in Nature stamp set along with the Pinewood Planks 3D embossing folder. Did you see these floral cards I share a few days ago using this same folder?  I am sure going to miss it!

 

  Click on any of the images above to hop over to my Stampin' Up! store to check out these and all of the Last Chance items before they're gone!

 

 

  Here is the first card I created. Both cards use essentially the same color palette - crumb cake, garden green and very vanilla. I added early espresso to this card when coloring the tree trunk on the tree image (using a stampin' write marker after inking the image with a garden green ink pad) and also for the "Be Happy" sentiment. This piece was cut after I stamped the full sentiment and then I attached it to the card.  For the embossed card stock, I used the debossed side of the crumb cake card stock and heavily sponged it with crumb cake ink. I added two pieces of the braided linen trim and tied a knot for some added interest since the card is pretty clean and simple and decided to leave the inside of the card blank for more versatility.

 

 

  For this card, I used soft suede ink for the tree rings image prior to stamping the sentiment with early espresso ink on a piece of crumb cake card stock. For the embossed panel, I used the embossed side of the card stock and used a lighter touch when sponging as I wanted it to be lighter in color.  For the inside, I stamped the leaf  image in the lower corner just for some added interest.

 

 

  So which one is your favorite? I think I like the first one just a little bit better.  Don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for more retiring stamp set ideas and inspiration.

Sunday Fun Day: All about Stripes

 

   Hello and thanks so much for visiting!!  Today our theme for Sunday Fun Day over on the Sisters in Stamping blog is Stripes.  

 

Well Suited 12x12 DSP, #154562 $11.50

Sailing Home cling stamp set, #149457 $24.00

  When I think of stripes, I immediately think masculine, and what better product suite to feature these than the Well Suited suite from the January-June mini catalog.  I absolutely love the Well Suited DSP and the great masculine colors.  I paired it with the Sailing Home stamp set because stripes also remind me of a nautical theme.

 

 

  This clean and simple card features both sides of a single piece of DSP from this pack - one side has great bold diagonal stripes in basic black, basic gray, basic white and pacific point.  The other side features a thin white stripe on basic gray - this pattern reminds me of a man's suit and the other like a man's tie.  Put them together and they're a perfect pair! I kept the stamping super simple so as not to take away from the patterns of the DSP. A simply stamped sailboat image in black and a great little sentiment cut out using the Double Oval punch from the Jan-June catalog makes this the perfect card for any man.

 

 

  For added texture I used basic gray twine from the Well Suited twine combo pack. I wanted to give it a little more flair, so replicated the knot image from the stamp set. It was a bit tricky to figure out, but I got it to work and love how it looks on the card!

 

 

  For the inside of my card I left it blank, but added a thin stripe of the diagonal stripe DSP pattern. I like how that looks, don't you?

 

 

 

    Finally, here is one more view of my card.  Don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for more Stripes card ideas and inspiration.

Sunday Fun Day: Shaving Cream and Reinker Marbled Background technique card set

 

   Hello and happy Sunday!!  Welcome back for another Sunday Fun Day over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.   This week we designed projects featuring the Shaving Cream technique to create marbled backgrounds using reinkers.  I had fun and ended up making lots of different marbled pieces for six cards. I only used two colors of reinkers, garden green and night of navy, and was able to create both masculine and feminine cards.  I'll share two today, and the rest over the next two days. All cards have a piece of whisper white card stock inside that was left blank.

  Here is a link to a tutorial that shows you the steps to create this marbled effect. This is a messy, but fun technique. Helpful hint - wear disposable gloves when working with this technique or your fingers will end up covered in ink!  Also, I found that using a scrap piece of cardboard to scrape the shaving cream off the card stock onto a paper towel was the easiest way to keep from making a huge mess.  Have a lot of paper towels on hand... did I mention this was a messy technique?  But so worth the effort for the final results, wouldn't you agree?

 

 

  For these first two cards I decided to go in a more masculine direction and chose to use the Sailing Home stamp set from the Annual catalog. 

 

 

  This marbled piece was the very first one I made, and you can tell that the colors are so much more vibrant!  I wanted to really play up the gorgeous marbling so kept the card very simple with a small stamped panel. The background mat for that is a piece of night of navy cut using the Label Me Lovely punch. I stamped the anchor image with night of navy after stamping off on a scrap piece of paper as I wanted a very light image. Then I overstamped that with the sentiment using garden green ink. This was cut out using the 2" circle punch and added to the card, popped up over a thin strip of night of navy card stock.

 

 

  In this view of the card you can better see the anchor in the background of the stamped piece. 

 

 

  For this card, the marbling reminded me of swirling water as the waves recede, so I wanted to use the lighthouse image. It is simply stamped with  night of navy card stock and the "Thanks" was stamped right onto the marbled piece.

 

 

  Here is another view of this card.  I love how these cards turned out and am excited to share the others with you over the next few days, so please be sure to check back!  And for even more great shaving cream technique card ideas and inspiration, please hop on over to the Sisters in Stamping blog.

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous day!

Fabulous Friday: Masculine Waterfront Birthday Card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! This week we're featuring masculine cards for our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  I always have a hard time with these, so appreciate the challenge.  I tend to use nature-themed stamp sets and texture when creating masculine cards.  This week's project features the Waterfront set along with the Greenery Embossing Folders. I also pulled out my Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set for the sentiment as I wanted to make a birthday card.   

 

 

Waterfront Photopolymer Stamp Set, #146386 $17.00

 Here are the images in this stamp set - they don't look like much, but there are some fabulous card creations out there on Pinterest using this stamp set. I must admit, even I feel artistic after using it!  Did you happen to pick up this set when it was on sale last month? 

 

 

 

  As you can see in these photos, I used lots of blues and greens for my card. The card base is night of navy card stock that I embellished with a strip of embossed balmy blue card stock and a mat of mint macaron card stock for the stamped panel.  For the "lake" I used balmy blue ink that I stamped multiple times using the larger triangle image which gives the illusion of depth in the water and also helped to fill in the space.  The mountain range is stamped with early espresso ink.  The trees as well as the sentiment are stamped with shaded spruce ink and the forest ground with soft suede ink.  I am really happy with how easily this came together!

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the stamped panel.  You can see more clearly how I stamped multiple generations of the same inking to give the illusion of depth of the trees, which also filled in the white space and from a distance looks like grass.  Win-win!

 

 

  Here you can see the texture added from the embossing folder.  It looks like leaves, so worked well with the nature theme and also isn't too girly.

 

 

  Here is one last view of my masculine birthday card.  For more ideas and inspiration, please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what my fellow designers created this week.

Fabulous Friday: Father's Day card featuring Rooted in Nature

Oh my goodness! I totally forgot to publish this post on Friday... sorry it's a bit late!

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! Today we are featuring Father's Day cards for Fabulous Friday over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  I used the Rooted in Nature and Birch background stamp sets along with the Stitched Nested Labels dies for my card this week.  This card was perfect for my husband since he is in lumber sales.  I just knew I needed the Rooted in Nature set when it first debuted a few years ago because of his job!

 

Rooted in Nature stamp set #148217, $42.00

 

  What is your go-to set for these kinds of cards?  I try to go for nature-themed stamp sets and the Rooted in Nature stamp set is perfect for masculine cards. 

 

 

 

  I chose to keep the color palette pretty neutral, using crumb cake, early espresso, garden green, sahara sand, shaded spruce, soft suede and whisper white.  Do you notice all of the sponging I did on this card? The sahara sand card stock panel and each of the whisper white die cuts are sponged with crumb cake ink. 

 

 

  The tree image is colored with stampin' write markers and then I huffed on the image prior to stamping to give it a watercolored look.  The marker colors blend so well when you use this technique prior to stamping.  And I wanted to give the look of sewing, so I used the fine point on my early espresso marker to trace the dotted outline in the die cuts.

 

 

  Here is one last view of my card. For more Father's Day card ideas and inspiration, please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what my fellow designers created this week. 

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous Father's Day weekend!

Fabulous Friday: Masculine Card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! Today the theme for our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog is masculine cards. These are always so hard for me because I just love flowers, ribbon and bling - three things that are never on these types of cards.  I decided to use a few of my retiring products since I won't be able to feature them much longer... did you figure out which 3 I used?

 

  This card features a deer image from Dashing Deer which is a Christmas set (love that versatility!) as well the foliage image from Country Road. I used the 1" circle punch with a post-it note to create my mask for the moon.  I will miss all of these procucts!!

 

 

 

 
  It has been a while since I have done a sponged silhouette card and I forgot how much I love these. I used a torn sheet of paper to sponge the darker half of the panel, which had been cut out with one of the the Stitched Nested Labels dies, which is thankfully not retiring. I cut the sentiment out using the Classic Label punch, also not retiring.  The background was created using the Birch stamp - I just love large background stamps and this one will also be available in the new annual catalog. My color palette for this card includes night of navy, soft suede and whisper white card stock as well as Jet Black StazOn, crumb cake, early espresso, night of navy, so saffron and soft suede inks.

 

 

 

  This view shows you how I sponged the panel as well as the background piece - my best advice for sponging is to start lightly. You can always add more ink, but cannot take it away!  The "moon" was too white when I took the mask off so I went over it lightly with so saffron ink.

 

 

  Here is one last view of my card. Please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what my fellow designers created this week for even more masculine card ideas and inspiration.

Fabulous Friday: Color Challenge Thank You Card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! Today we were challenged with creating projects using the March 2020 Color Challenge for Fabulous Friday over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.    

 

 

  Karla chose basic gray, bermuda bay and pear pizzazz for this color challenge.  I must admit that I struggled a LOT with this color palette, but ultimately decided it would work well for a masculine card. I needed a thank you card anyway so this was perfect!  I wasn't sure which color I wanted to stand out the most, but settled on a basic gray card base with a pop of the bermuda bay for the larger sentiment and the pear pizzazz as an accent.

 

 

  I once again turned to one of my favorite stamp sets from the Spring mini catalog - Seriously the Best - found on page 60.  You may remember this card that I made back in January using this stamp set.  This stamp set coordinates with the Seriously the Best project kit that contains supplies to make 16 cards.

 

 

  Here  is another view of my card. I kept  it super simple - stamping the sentiments and foliage image on a piece of whisper white card stock cut using the Stitched Rectangles framelits.  

 

 

  The "thanks" was stamped with bermuda bay ink and the longer sentiment was stamped with basic gray ink.  I wanted the "the" to stand out in the longer sentiment so stamped it on a scrap piece of whisper white with bermuda bay ink and cut it out and mounted it to the panel. Lastly, I stamped the foliage image with pear pizzazz ink.

 

 

  Here is the inside of the card - just a piece of whisper white card stock stamped with the same foliage image as from the front of the card in the lower left corner.  This way there is enough room to write a note but brings the front of the card into the inside of the card.

 

 

  I kept thise card very clean and simple, perfect for a masculine card.  For even more color challenge ideas and inspiration please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created this week.

Fabulous Friday: All About DSP - Tropical Oasis card set

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! Today we are featuring Designer Series Paper (DSP) in our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  I couldn't decide on one pattern so created a set of clean and simple cards featuring different pieces from this pack.

 

 

 

  I decided to use the Tropical Oasis pack that can be found on page 39 of the Jan-Jun mini catalog. I absolutely LOVE this product suite and used it last month on this project.  This time I am featuring different patterns from the pack - they are all so beautiful.  I also used the coordinating Timeless Tropical stamp set and kept them simple so the DSP could be the star  of the cards.  

 

 

 

  I colored the palm trees with stampin' write markers and then spritzed the stamp with water before stamping on this whisper white panel cut using the Stitched Rectangle framelits.  It really gives it a watercolor feel.  I pulled colors from the DSP - old olive, shaded spruce and early espresso. The sentiment was stamped with real red ink to pull out the color from the flowers.  I layered this onto a base card cut from Grapefruit Grove, which really picks up the colors in the flowers.

 

 

   How fun is this pattern? I think it is perfect for a masculine card.  I used early espresso ink for the sentiment and stamped it on a panel cut from the Stitched Nested Labels framelits.  Because I love adding fun texture on masculine cards, I put a loop of the braided linen trim under the panel, which was popped up with stampin' dimensionals.

 

 

  Here is my final card that I added to a Mango Melody card base.  The large hibiscus flower was inked with grapefruit grove, mango melody and real red stampin' write markers.  I very lightly spritzed with water and then stamped on the panel cut from the Layering Squares framelits.  Once that was dry I overstamped it with the sentiment using a shaded spruce ink pad.

  I kept these cards very clean and simple so the DSP could really shine.  These cards would definitely be easy ones to stamp en masse - you could crank out so many cards in one sitting with just a single pack of DSP and get so many different looks.  For even more DSP ideas and inspiration please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created this week.
