Gone Fishing

I love when we get great masculine sets and the Let’s Go Fishing Suite Collection (161546) is a great masculine Suite of products.

Filled with wonderful water, fish themed, and patterns you can’t go wrong creating fun card for the guys in our lives.

Check out this quick and easy card made with the Gone Fishing Bundle (161535)

The Nested Essentials Dies (161597) was used to create the flag. This set of dies has a lovely double stitched edge for a bit of detail and texture and a bit more texture was added by using the Raindrops Embossing Folder (160554) for the background.

This card was made for Father’s Day, which is right around the corner, but swap out the sentiment and you’ve got a great masculine card for the men in our lives.

Why not stop by my Online store and check out the Let’s Go Fishing Suite and start creating too?

A quick & easy friendship card using Adorable Owls

Today’s card has been made with the Adorable Owls (Sale-a-bration 160269) and has been done in our In Colors.

And since our In Colors come in fun to use assortments you can create quickly and easily. This little guy has been colored with our Stampin’ Blends and is so much fun to color. It’s amazing how quickly you can change the feel of this little guy simply by changing up his eye color. I was going to a more masculine feel to this card so I stuck with the greens this go around.

You’re Awesome Vintage Tools Card Tutorial

This past weekend I was able to attend the first live Stampin’ Up! Back Stage event that was held in New Orleans after 3 ling years. It was sooo much fun seeing everyone and connecting again after so long. Of course, I wanted to participate in everything, so I started working on my swaps for the first night of the event.

Of course I wanted to share them with you too! So today’s card is the first of 2 that I designed for the swap. Today’s a masculine card that I created using the Vintage Tools stamps set that uses a color pallet right from our Regals and Neutrals collections that are perfect for the guys in our lives.

This stamp set is one of my favorites since my guys do a lot of home improvements and my son has been drawn to wood working since he could walk into Sears. One of our have to stops when out at the Mall back when he was 3! (Now, if you could only see his work shop!)

The image I used for this project also reminds me of my childhood and my father, who had to plain down the doors in our new home so they were able to close and not stick. I can remember watching the little rolls of wood falling as he shaved off the top corner and tested it each time. Odd, how such little things stick in our mind isn’t it? I couldn’t have been older than 4 as I watched him.

Want to see how I created this card? I’ve done a quick video and pdf tutorial for you.

Welcoming Woods

This time of year the outdoors are calling and hiking, camping and spending the day in our North Georgia Mountains becomes extremely popular as the highways heading north are filled with campers, leaf watchers, and those seeking the peace and quiet of a day with nature. The Welcoming Woods stamp set (156550) evokes those kinds of images in my mind and since this set has all occasions sentients and year round options I think you’ll find this set a great one to team up with sets you might already have.

Check out this first card for fall and it’s striking colors.

A Blending Brush (153611) or Sponge Daubers (133773) were used to add color to this lovely image. A easy technique that packs a wallop! And this next card uses the set as a back drop for the Nature’s Beauty (150528) wildlife.

Embossed in White Embossing Powder (155554) it uses the snowflake pattern from the Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper (155718) to set the winter scene.

So what do you think? Love the options this stamp set gives you? Why not stop by my Online Store and check out this and all the items from our Mini Catalog?

Hats Off

Have you seen the Hats Off Bundle (158361) in the Annual Catalog on page 47? It’s a great option for the dudes in our lives with its sentiments and images. The baseball cap is something that most mean have in their closets, or in my son’s case his prize possession. When he gets a new cap like he did yesterday, he’ll give it special attention until it is worn in just right. I guess you could call his hats, the guy version of shoes. lol

So today I’ll share 3 projects with you highlight this fun stamp set and coordinating dies. This first card is done in Crumb Cake and Early Espresso and packs a lot of texture.

It not only uses the Tasteful Texture 3D Embossing Folder (152718) but also the lovely Early Espresso 1/4″ Faux Suede Trim (152472).

Next up –

This lovely card using the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (152494) Misty Moonlight, Smoky Slate and Real Red. Check out the bat it was made using the Suit & Tie Dies (154322). Yep, simply flip that tie upside down and you’ve got a great bat! This card not only has the wonderful woven texture from the Designer Series Paper but also adds some stitching with the Stitched Rectangle Dies (151820). The Smoky Slate layer was dry embossed with the Bark 3D Embossing Folder (155431) for even more texture.

And finally a fun 3D project using the Bundle (158361) It’s quick and simple to make

The colors chosen for the topper were taken right off the package of gum too, which has been slid into one of our 6×8″ Cellophane Bags (102210). A quick and simple gift for that little slugger in our life.
