Masculine card

I made a Simple masculine birthday card.  This card is made using Serene Silhouettes stamp set, Petite Pairs, stamp set, Natural Composition Specialty DSP (daubered with Chocolate Chip ink), Early Espresso Grosgrain Ribbon, old olive and early espresso markers, and the new Angled tag topper punch from the Occasions Mini catalog.

Thanks for looking!

Another file folder Easter Card

I'm just loving the simplicity of these cards.... This one use the new watercolor paper from the Ocassions Mini catalog, Framed tulip embossing folder and the Deco labels framelit.  It also uses the SAB "You're Lovely" stamp set and SAB decorative dots folder, but you can substitute any image and use the perfect polka dots embossing folder or any other embossing folder.   I was sad to see Sale-a-bration 2014 end, but will eagerly await the new free merchandise (one free item for every $50.00 spent) from next years sale-a-bration.  I just love getting free stuff from Stampin' Up!

I made a another file foldr card using the new "Eggstra Spectacular" set from the Stampin' Up! Occasions mini catalog.  I used the new Natural 5/8" Chevron Ribbon, the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, gold bakers twine, Ovals collection die and the Starburst Framelit die.

I hope you like it!

More from the Stamp Club

At our March Stamp Club meeting they did box cards and I wanted to show their creations in my blog. They all came out so wonderful and so different.

March Stamp Club Cards - My Cards


I tried two new card styles this month.  The first card type is a file folder card. This card is made using the envelope maker.    I made two different versions of this card.  The first one I colored the flower image with blender pens and then put an adhesive sheet over the image, cut it out and then sprinkled Stampin' Up!'s dazzling diamonds glitter on top of it. The next card I used watercolor paper and colored it with ink refills and an Aqua Painter and then cut it out.






This next card is a Pop-Up Box Card (Dina Kowal gives a tutorial on Split Coast Stampers).  I designed mine using the Backyard Basics Stamp set and framelit.  I also include some "grass" using Pistachio Pudding card stock and the new Fringe Scissors from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  I used 1 12 x 12 sheet of Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper (DSP) that was a free Sale-a-bration gift, but you could use any piece of DSP.
