Your Change

 

From Anne Matasci's card, I was inspired to create one for myself. Thanks Anne for your simple yet masculine masterpiece!

The sentiment is from the 'Celebrating You' stamp set and was die-cut using the 'Tasteful Labels' dies.

Right Scenes

 

A winter scene for my nephew. The 'Winter Scenes' stamp set is perfect for masculine winter cards. The images don't really require any coloring, but I added a slight touch of color to the images. I also used 'Wink of Stella' on the trees, snowman and the lake.

I received inspiration from Carol Schuster's card. Thanks Carol!

Christmas Thanks

 

After Christmas... Thank You's! I had a lovely time creating these. Trying to use up my HUGE supply of Designer Series Paper. These are from the 'Plaid Tidings' pack. Each card is now unique to the person who will be receiving it!

I used the December Flower in the stamp set 'Year of Flowers' for the card, and added a bow (non-SU) to make it more festive.

The banner die is from the 'Party Banner' set! Which I'd love to create more with soon!

I added 'Wink of Stella' to make the flowers and bows shine.

Wintry Sentiments

 

Creating more Christmas cards for all my nieces and nephews.... I have 18 and one great niece! It is great trying to create 19 different Christmas cards... a little daunting too. BUT.... as I have collected many Christmas stamp sets throughout my time as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator... it was a breeze! Well, not a breeze, but I had plenty of inspiration with each stamp set.

Thanks for looking!

I really love the colors Amanda had created with her card... with the stamps that I had, I created one similar to hers. Thanks for the color inspiration and layout!

The border piece is from the 'Plaid Tidings' DSP, and the edge die cut is from the 'Be Mine Stitched' dies.

The embossed leaves are from the 'Nature's Root' dies, and the huge leaf is from the 'Vintage Leaves' stamp set.

The pumpkin and pumpkin leaves (bottom left) is from the new stamp set 'Pretty Pumpkins'. I cut the pumpkin out using the Detailed Pumpkins dies that coordinate with stamp set.

Whiskey Tidings

 

My brother-in-law loves a good scotch, so when Stampin' Up! introduced the new stamp set 'Whiskey Business', I knew I had to get this set. Now, my Dad does love his whiskey too, but as his birthday and my brother-in-law's birthday are so close.... I didn't want to create two cards with the same theme. So... I'll design a different card for my Dad this year, and use the Whiskey Business set for him next year!

Now, I did utilize Pinterest in trying to find the perfect color combo in coloring in the images. I chose Bronze, Cinnamon Cider, Gray Granite and Mango Melody.... along with the color lifter on the ice cubes.

The Stitched Nested Labels die is cut at one end, and I used the straight edge dies cut within that set to die cut the straight edge.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Supplies Used:

Stamp Set - Whiskey Business

Ink - Memento, Stampin' Blends (Cinnamon Cider, Gray Granite, Mango Melody, Color Lifter)

Paper - Cinnamon Cider, Basic Black, Basic White, Plaid Tidings DSP

Yearly Tidings

 

The use of the 'Plaid Tidings' DSP makes for creating masculine cards so easy. I decided to create my Father's Day cards using different papers for the Father's in my life. The sentiment is from 'Best Year' stamp set and the die cut shapes are from 'Potted Succulents' dies.

Thanks for taking a look!

Plaid Birthdays

 

The 'Plaid Tidings' DSP (Designer Series Paper) doesn't have to be just for Christmas. It works well for masculine cards too! 

I wanted to try this crooked technique on a card (I've seen many cards like this). I'm more of a "has to be centered" kind of crafter, so this really is out of my comfort zone. BUT.... I have to say... this card looks great! See... pushing yourself to try different things is a good thing!

Thanks for taking the time to check in!

Supplies Used:

Stamp set - Big on Birthdays

Ink - Memento

Paper - Merry Merlot, Bumblebee, Plaid Tidings DSP, Whisper White

Unto Us Pines

 

I loved the simplicity of Tamara Bertram's card, and was inspired with the plaid piece background with the focal piece sentiment. I made a few changes to make the card my own.

The background piece measures 2 x 4.75.

The sentiment piece measures 3 x 1.75.

The card measures 4.25 x 5.5.
