Masculine Birthday Card - French Foliage

Hi Stampers!  I'm usually "stumped" when it comes to making masculine cards.  You too?!?  Usually "nature related" stamps come to the rescue!  This card offers lots of detail for the guys, without all the "frilly" touches :)

Inspired by Kathy (Stamping Still) and Rita (Rita's Creations)

This was one of my swaps for Milwaukee Regionals, thanks to Kathy and Rita for their inspiration!  I used Early Espresso and Naturals White card stock.  The stamp set is French Foliage.

 

I die-cut the banner from the Petal Cone Die and stamped my greeting.  Then simply added silver brads to the ends of the banner and popped up with some Dimensionals.

Fabulous Florets Sympathy Card

Hi Stampers!  We made this sympathy card at my last Card Buffet class -  however, this design could easily be used for birthday, thank you, thinking of you, etc., if you wanted to change up the sentiment. 

The floral images are from the stamp set is Fabulous Florets, and the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.  I used Crumb Cake card stock for the main card, and embossed a strip of Cherry Cobbler card stock using the Flower Garden Embossing Folder.

I used Crumb Cake Seam Binding, what a great color!  Crumb Cake has quickly become my favorite Neutral color :) 

Here's how we finished off the inside.  The sentiment on the inside is from the stamp set, Word Play.  This card was inspired by a swap I received a while back and there wasn't a name on the swap...so, if it was you please let me know so I can give you proper credit.

Apothecary Art Birthday Card

Hi Stampers! Today's card was SO easy to put together using Stampin Up products.

I used the stamp set, Apothecary Art (125527), that can be found in the Occasions Mini Catalog (link on the left of this page).  After stamping the image on Whisper White card stock, I colored the flowers using my Stampin Write Markers.  I used the Framelits Labels Collection (125598) dies to cut out the shape around the stamped image, as well as the layer of Crumb Cake card stock behind the stamped image.

As long as I was cutting Framelits, I thought I would cut an even larger one to stamp the sentiment on the inside of the card :)  I also used the Framed Tulips Embossing Folder and Rose Red Seam Binding,

Loving Thoughts Wedding Card

Hi Stampers!  Today's card is one of many we made at a recent Card Buffet class I held.  I used Very Vanilla card stock and Basic Black.

 

The stamped floral image is Elements of Style, still a great set!  The sentiment is from the new word stamp set, Loving Thoughts, that can be found in the new Occasions Mini Catalog.  I used the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder for the first layer on the card, and the Labels Collection Framelit Dies for the layers.

The butterfly added just the right touch to this card :)  It is the Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die.  I added some Basic Rhinestones to the center of the butterfly to finish it off. 

Here's how I decorated the inside of the card.  If you are interested in ordering any of the supplies used for this card, be sure to visit my online store any time.  Or, if you need assistance email me anytime, I'm happy to assist you with your order and/or any questions.

A Cup of Thanks!

Hi Stampers!  This card was made using the adorable stamp set, Tea Shoppe (w 125545 c 125547).  This set can be found in Stampin Up's Occasions Mini Catalog through April 2012.

The base of the card is Pool Party, with a layer of Poppy Parade card stock.  I ran the Poppy card stock through the Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder to get the embossed dots :)  I thought the embossed polka dots would compliment the paper pierced "steam" coming from the cup.

The cup colors are Poppy Parade, Pool Party and Lucky Limeade.  I scalloped the edge of the Very Vanilla card stock using the Scallop Trim Border punch.  The Designer Series Paper is called Everyday Enchantment and is FREE with a 50.00 order during Sale-a-Bration.  I just attached a little piece of ribbon with a staple, easy!

I always have to add a little something to the inside, just for fun :)

Mixed Bunch Butterfly

Hi Stampers!  I love the new set, Mixed Bunch (w 125535 c 125537) and the coordinating Blossom Punch (125603) found in the Occasions Mini Catalog.  As always, talented stampers out there have come up with ways for us to use these products other than what they are intended for.  I first saw the idea of making a butterfly out of the flower stamp and punch in the Occasions Mini Catalog, how clever is that?!?

The card stocks I used are Island Indigo, Baja Breeze and Twitterpated DSP.  The Bakers Twine is Island Indigo (125575) and  is only $2.95 for 25 yards, what a bargain!  The sentiment is from the stamp set Kindness Matters, and is available for FREE as a Sale-A-Bration set with any 50.00 order.

I embossed the butterfly with white embossing powder, and layered it on another butterfly I made out of Island Indigo card stock before popping up with dimensionals.
