Masculine Cards

Thursday, March 19, 2026

 Project #2 at the retreat we went to 

I have yet to add a sentiment to the top right side of this card. I thought that I would leave it empty until I was ready to use it.
A this card I added the extra square frame that was made when I cut out the square. I hated to waste it and thought it looked pretty good adding it behind the square.



I will add the sentiment to this card at the bottom when I am ready to use/send it.
These cards feature the LOVELY ARRANGEMENTS BUNDLE, NATURE WALK Designer Paper and the STYLISH SHAPES DIES. The 2" & 2-3/8" Circle Punches, and the FAUX BRONZE PENTAGONS embellishments.

A Round of Hellos

Wednesday, March 18, 2026

Recently I attended a stamping retreat with my friend and fellow team member, Inez. We had a wonderful time with Tina Rappe and her sister Peggy as our hosts.

When we arrived we were greeted with the two dressed in flamingo costumes! So funny! They kept us in stitches all weekend!!

And at our place settings we found these darling bags filled with all of our projects. SEVEN projects - and each project had between 4-6 cards or boxes, etc. with one of the projects being a shadow box.
The first project that we worked on was using the A ROUND of HELLOS Stamp Set. (which coordinates with the 2" and the 2-3/8" Circle Punches)
The Designer Paper they used on these cards is the FLORALS IN BLOOM.

Show Both Sides Of Your Designer Paper

Tuesday, March 17, 2026

The designer paper that I am using on today's card is the Painted Illusions DSP that you could have gotten for only $5 with your qualifying purchase of $75 during the month of February.

The stamp set is Greenery Lane, and the embossing folder is called SO SWIRLY which coordinates so very well with the design on the DSP.

This card was inspired by Sue Campfield

What I changed up: I used the MOODY PALETTE DOTS instead of the Shades of Green Hexagons

Lucky Me, I've Got YOU!

Monday, March 16, 2026

 


Happy St. Patrick's Day, Everyone!!


I am not a "luck" kind of person, but I thought that this was a fun card for my Tuesday Stampers to make.

The large shamrock is a non Stampin' Up! stamp that I borrowed from one of my fellow team members.

The SWEETEST JAR stamp set has that jar filled with shamrocks image, and is absolutely adorable. 

On cards like this I like to say, "Lucky me, I've got you" - I used this phrase a LOT when making cards for my day care kids and then my grand kiddos.

Nature Walk

Sunday, March 15, 2026

This gorgeous card uses all current Stampin' Up! products and was designed by the very talented Rachel Tessman. I believe I saw this on her Facebook live, but it has not made it to her blog as of yet (at the time I prepared this blog post)

I changed up the sentiment, using the BANNER SAYINGS stamp set and punch. I also used the Pressed Flower Motifs elements instead of the Faux Bronze Pentagons.

Nature's Symphony die was used to cut out the large leaf.

I had just a bit of the Nature Walk DSP left and this is a perfect example of using up 1" strips.

I used the dark Misty Moonlight Stampin' Blend to splash little spritzes onto the card front. A trick I learned for this is if you use your Bone Folder and tap your Stampin' Blend onto it (fairly aggressively) you get a nice splatter. Rachel uses the tip of her Blend into the cap to flick the splatters, but I find that this wrecks the tip of my Blend and they are already too expensive.
