As you know we are in the middle of Sale-a-bration, Stampin’ UP!’s annual celebration where you can get FREE stuff when you place on order at my on-line store. One of the most popular stamp sets is ‘The Gang’s All Meer’ with the most adorable Meerkats.
The images are just perfect for coloring and today I have busted out my heat tool again and created a jolly little gang of cheeky meerkats to help celebrate a birthday!
A couple of weeks ago I announced my product share for the 2020 Mini Catalog. Today’s card uses the Country Club Designer Series Paper which is one of the papers in the share. The paper has golf themed images on one side but when you flip them over there are some more general plaid and fair isle patterns which are perfect for guy cards.
I love to make these multi layer cards it is a great way to use up scraps as well as showcase the different designs in the package.
In among all the holiday celebrations there are birthdays – tomorrow would have been my dear Pop’s 90th – so I am commemorating with a card for the fellas today.
The Rooted in Nature stamp set paired with the Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder is a perfect combination ~ add some Early Expresso and throw in a little Pumpkin Pie….. and I think it really works for the guys!
With all the holidays this time of year it is easy to forget that some of us (including me) have a birthday in the coming weeks so today’s card is just perfect for either a male or female birthday and pairs the Delightful Day Stamp Set along with Rich Razzleberry and a couple of embossing folders.
Today’s card is one my ladies made in a recent Card Buffet – I get a lot of requests for ‘Get Well’, Sympathy and the like so I figure that ‘Thinking of You’ covers all those bases! The Rooted in Nature stamp set is one I go to a lot – mainly because I just love that little cluster leaves stamp, and my colors are quite muted and not too jazzy so I think it would make a great guy card with a little change in the greeting.
Check out the links below for other cards made with this set.
I love fancy folds and have shared many on my blog – some of them with video tutorials – today I have a really super fold and have designed it for the fellas in our lives!
By making it a guy card I was able to use one of my favorite suites from the 2019 – 2020 Stampin’ UP! annual catalog – Come Sail Away – stamp set, dies, designer series paper and embellishments that all compliment one another beautifully making my designing so much easier!
It is so lovely to hear that someone is retiring – how wonderful to be able to get to that stage in your life when your time is your own to do with what you want – when you want to do it! So when a dear friend’s husband announced he was retiring in August it was the perfect occasion to celebrate with a card for him.
Today’s card has a tiny bit of stamping using the Well Said stamp set then some die cutting with the coordinating Well Written Dies.
Time for another technique today ~ Stamping techniques are simply ways to use your stamping supplies with a different approach to create a fun effect.
Stampin’ off gives you lighter shades of your ink color, giving you lots more flexibility to create texture on your cards/scrapbook pages. I have used the Seaside Notions Stamp Set to make today’s card which was for my eldest step-sons birthday last week
Time for a card for the fellas in our lives, I find it quite hard to think of ideas for the guys so the ‘Let It Ride’ stamp set has come in very useful, horses, trees and some inspirational greetings all come in this set.
I have chosen to make a card for the fellas but if you have a ‘horse lover’ in your family or circle of friends you could change up the colors and it would work just as well for either gender.
Today is the last day of May 2019 …………… oh where did May go? and we have just 4 more days before the Stampin UP! 2018 – 2019 annual catalog retires and well-loved and well-used stamp sets and other products retire. In the last few weeks I been using my blog posts to share some of the things that are retiring – along with links so that you can put in your order so you don’t miss out.
Today’s card uses the One for All Stamp Set ~ along with a little help from the Gallery Grunge Stamp Set (which is not retiring ) and some Copper Foil Card.
