Today we're creating a Quick & Easy Male Birthday Card Using Blooming Phrases Stamp Set. Often we need guy cards and we don't seen to have tons of images to select from...so when this idea popped into my head I wanted to share it with you stampers!

This is the stamp set we're using...and at first glance one would not think this would be a male-oriented set....

However, see what we have created with it...

& a bit closer

.

The greetings in this new stamp set have that lovely "wave" at the end of them...so you could use most of them for a male oriented card as well as for the ladies.

Our base is, of course, Thick Basic White cardstock with a layer of white embossed with the Soft Waves folder.

The focal p0int layer is Balmy Blue on which we begin with the 'celebrate' greeting in black ink near the bottom. 

Using the dies from one of the new bundles (Sunrise Sailing) we die cut the sailboat from Real Red cardstock and the double sails from white. This is popped up over the 'wave' tail of the greeting with dimensionals.

The seaguls are die cut from Navy carstock (also from Sunrise Sailing) and positioned to give a bit of depth to the 'picture.' This is layered on a thin border of Navy to give us that great contrast.

Stop by next week to see what new set we'll be using then.

Note: If you haven't joined the monthly Card Club with NO obligations keep watching your emails for the current club in your email (5-15-24)--you have until 5-22 to sign up.

Directions:

1. Cut Thick Basic White cardstock 8 1/2 X 5 1/2, score long side at 4 1/4 (cardbase).

2. Cut Basic White cardstock 4 1/8 X 5 3/8; put through Soft Waves embossing folder; adhere to card front.

3. Cut Night of Navy cardstock 4 1/8 X 3 1/8; adhere to center of card front.

4. Cut Balmy Blue 3 X 4
    *Stamp greeting in Memento ink at bottom
    *Die cut medium sailboat from Real Red cardstock; die cut double medium sail from white cardstock; adhere to boat. Using dimensionals adhere above 'wave' of greeting    
    *Die cut seaguls (Sunrise Sailing dies); adhere as shown in sample.

Today we're creating a Great Guy Card Using New Scenic Adventures Bundle. I'm sure you are as excited as I am with the new Online Exclusive products that arrived this month! Today's card can be used for multiple occasions--not only for males but for all of us who love the outdoors in all its beauty!

 new bundle....

 todays creations ...

 closer peek...

We began using the thick white cardstock & a Balmy Blue layer gives us a beautiful "sky" background on which to layer our mountains.

This is topped with the white layer with a square die cut providing our picture view. The embossing is done with the Forever Plaid folder--great design to coordinate with the outdoors.

The back mountain is die cut from Gorgeous Grape & the die imprints those lovely crevices that make us feel right there on the mountainside. The forward range of mountains is die cut from Highland Heather--again with the beautiful ridge impressions.

In the foreground we've layered the greenery in Shaded Spruce adding tons of depth to our scene. Adding two evergreen trees "outside" our view really accents the natural feeling.

We've used the Thinking of You die cut with the Thoughtful Moments hybrid--however, any of the greetings in this set could be substituted which makes this design an absolute must to have in your stash! Keep a few of these on hand & place the appropriate sentiment when it's time to send the card!

Come back next week to see what NEW set we'll be using then!

Today we're creating a Handmade Simple Card Using Thankful Garden Bundle.  The stamp design is simple and fun to color as well as the card design. This bundle is one of the new Online Exclusive products--this just means you won't see it in a catalog but can order it like any other product! 

Here's the stamp and die set...you can see the beautiful simplicity in it...

Here's today's card....

& a bit closer look....

Our base card is Bubble Bath cardstock with an over layer of the same color and put through the Eyelet embossing folder.

A bit of contrast is added with a vertical stripe in black and white designer paper (Lovely Garden DSP).

We stamped the hydrangea in Memento ink on white cardstock and die cut with the corresponding die. Color was added with the Bubble Bath and Summer Spash Blends...this image was simply made for having fun with the Blends.

The petitte flower centers are chucked full of glimmering rhinestones to add tons and tons of sparkle--just let yourself go when sprinkling these on!

The greeting is one of the useful verses in this set and stamped on white cardstock and slipped in slightly behind the blossom.

A touch of glamour is added with the silver/white bow.

Today we're creating with Collage Stamping using Textured Notes Bundle.  This new bundle is an Online Exclusive that includes a nested set of decorated rectangles that are lovely all in themselves. This set also coordinates beautifully with the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper which we will be using in today's creation.

Here's the stamp set...

This is the nested dies.

Here's today's creation...

& a bit closer look...

We first nestled a piece of the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper on Pecan Pie card base--the varied tones of the Pecan color in that paper is stunning on the Pecan Pie background.

The collage consists of the large & small leaf dies along iwth the "basket bottom" design peeking out from the background. Because these inks are dye inks  the darker ink will always show through. So it does not matter which ink is stamped first because the darker will always appear to be on top. So even though we stamped the background last--it appears to be behind the leaves. The larger leaves are stamped in Mossy Meadow & the smaller ones in Old Olive---thus the larger leaves appear to be in front of the smaller ones...what a fun technique!

The focal point was stamped on Very Vanilla backed with a thin edge of gold foil topping the Pecan back layer.

We stamped 'thank you' in black ink on Old Olive which ties it all together.

For a bit of elegance we added the pecan Neutal Matte dots.

Stop back next week to see which Online Exclusive we'll be designing with then.

Today we're Creating with New Stampin'Up! Online Exclusive Resourceful Rusty Stamp Set. When you're looking for a really cute set that's quick and easy to use--Resourceful Rusty is your stamp set.

Here's what the set looks like....

This is  today's creation....

This is a closer look....

We decided that our Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper is just the perfect background for today's project. Beginning with a cardbase of Crumb Cake we added a narrow border of Very Vanilla to set off the Boho/Crumb plaid for our base.

Wanting to stamp on Very Vanilla we added another narrow border of black to make the focal point pop.  The coordinating second peice of designer paper gives us a bit of contrast to the background while still remaining in that color scheme.  

Coloring was quick and easy with the Blends using Real Red, Crumb Cake and Granny Apple Green, The bling is from the Neutrals  Matte Dots (another Online Exclusive product) that is a perfect match for the designer paper.

Stop back next week to see which Online Exclusive we'll be designing with then.

Today we're Creating with Painted Stripes an Online Exclusive product. This is an stunning full card background stamp that appears as if it were painted with a paint brush giving the stripes a beautifully "paint-like" texture.

This type of image works well with small pieces (as with today's card) or as a total background image. You can make it startlingly bright with lots of contrast or you can make it subtle as with todays card.

Here's the stamp

& this is our card for today...

The new beautiful Lovely Garden Designer paper was layered on Garden Green cardstock base. A smaller central piece of Soft Seafoam cardstock was used for our focal point..

Stamping the Painted Stripes in Soft Seafoam ink gives us a lovely soft background. We then layered the leaf die cut in Garden Green over which we adhered the gold foil "Celebrate" die from the Wanted to Say Dies.

We added a touch of sparkle with the Opal Rounds in yellow which pulls in the bit of yellow in the designer paper background.

Today we're Creating with Arched Wishes a New Online Exclusive! Isn't it fun to get a whole new set of products every other month! And...best part is that this one coordinates with the Everyday Arch dies already online.

Here's the stamp set....

& this is the Everyday Arches a coordinating set of dies that are already available online.

Here's todays creation using both...

& a bit closer look...

We selected the Full of Life Desinger Series Paper for our background since it was very lively and filled with tons of bright and cheerful color. This was layered onto a thin border of Coastal Cabana and then onto the card base of Daffodil Delight. 

Since the greeting is arch-shaped...it was an easy step to position it on the white die cut arch just where we want it to fit...then lay the cupcake on the white arch beneath it. Now lay the clear block on top of the stamps...this way you can stamp multiples at the same time without having to position each time!

We added a few "sparkles" with the new Spoked Sequins in the center to really create a party atmosphere.

Note: If you haven't joined the monthly Card Club with NO obligations keep watching your emails for the next club in your email 3-15-24!

Today we are Creating with Sale-a-bration Freebie Bloom IMpressions Designer Series Paper. This is one of my favorite free items during Sale-a-bration when spending $60 in product. 

Here is a sampling of this beautiful set...

You can see all the wonderful spring colors in the "blooms" side and those stunning coordinating colors in the "watercolor wash" side....what a delight in creating cards with these papers.

Here's today's creation using this paper:

This card fairly glows with the gorgeous Daffodil Delight blooms in the background.  We've nestled the Countryside Corners die cut of the designer paper on the Daffodil Delight top layer embossed with the Starstruck embossing folder. This is also one of the freebies you can obtain with a $60 order during SAB.  

As our focal point we're using a tree stamp (trunk/leaves) die cut using the Twisted Tree bundle in the Spring mini catalog.  

We've stamped the trunk in Early Espresso & the leaves in Garden Green--then die cut for that perfect image.

The greeting is from one of our very useful sets, Simply Said Mix & Match stamp set.

We only have a couple of weeks to nab these wonderful SAB free items! Grab yours while they are still available.

Note: Due to some unforeseen issues I'll be posting on Wednesdays only for awhile. When all gets back to normal I'm hoping to go back to Tuesdays & Thursdays. Thanks for sticking with me for a bit.

Today we're Creating with Sale-a-bration Freebie Documenting the Day Stamp Set. This is a free set you can earn with a $60 product order during January and February this year....less that one month left of earning free stuff!

Here's the stamp set...

Here's today's card with this set...

& a closer look


First we selected the designer paper which is also a free item during Sale-a-bration--it's the Toadstool Garden set...lively and fun!  This was layered onto Pretty in Pink and then onto our base of Melon Mambo.  

If you often have a bit of trouble combining colors--you can look at your designer paper and choose colors that are combined there and usually arrive at a very nice combo.

We stamped the huge 'DAY' in Granny Apple Green on a white label die cut with the Nested Essentials die.

Then the 'Happy' is die cut from the gold foil using the Wanted to Say dies.  Of course, it wouldn't be complete without some super sparkle which is supplied with the large gold Drusy Embellishments.

This stamp set is an awesome addition to your collection if you do memory keeping--this large DAY with or without some of the accompanying verses is fantastic in size for your designs.

Note: Due to some unforeseen issues I'll be posting on Wednesdays only for awhile. When all gets back to normal I'm hoping to go back to Tuesdays & Thursdays. Thanks for sticking with me for a bit.
