Cheers To You!


Ale, Lager, Beer?  Dark, Light, Medium, Mild, Bold?   Whatever your choice, this card is for that beer guy who maybe even makes his own beer and shares it with you from time to time!  The beers are stickers as I have not found a beer stamp set yet and the color combination is Early Espresso and Always Artichoke.  The sentiment comes from the And Many More stamp set from Stampin' Up!

Check out the items I used for this card:

Fishy Birthday!


For guy's cards my go to color combination is usually always artichoke and cajun craze.  I love the richness of these two colors and they worked so well with this leafy ds paper.  The sentiment is from the Something To Say stamp set from Stampin' Up!  Check out this stamp set here!

Goal!


Pacific Point & Basic Gray card stock from Stampin' Up! matched this grassy ds paper nicely for that soccer guy or gal's birthday!  The soccer accessories are stickers and the sentiment is from the teeny tiny wishes stamp set from Stampin' Up!  This is such a versatile stamp set and gives you a great sentiment for almost every occasion.  Shop Stampin' Up! for all of your stamping needs here

Big Day! Sale-A-Bration 2015




For this fun Sale-A-Bration card I used the Painted Blooms ds paper along with Strawberry Slush and Daffodil Delight card stock from Stampin Up!  I embossed the sentiment on the front in white and used the spring flowers embossing folder on the top note die.  Here's hoping for an early spring in Minnesota!

Get Your Tool Belt On!



This creative tool belt sticker was just the ticket for this guy's card.  I used pumpkin pie and night of navy card stock from Stampin' Up! and added the phillips and flat head screw brads over the pumpkin pie 1/2 inch circles.  The sentiment is punched out using the modern label punch.

I love sequins...


For this birthday card I adhered a small clear plastic bag with some sequins in it behind the cut out picture frame.  The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set from Stampin' Up! and is punched out with the word window punch and layered over the modern label punch.  This is one of my favorite layering combinations for sentiments.

Just Saying Who!


So I had to switch up my routine and stray away from Christmas cards for a little bit.
This fun card has some sweet, sparkly owl stickers saying Happy Anniversary!  On this card I used crushed curry and pool party card stock, which makes for a bright and cheery color combination.

Baby Boy...Card In A Box!


This card turned out so cute with the button embellishments for a baby boy.  The sentiment is from the Petite Pairs stamp set and I used Pool Party card stock as my base color.  

Here are the card in a box directions:

1. Cut a piece of card stock to measure 8 1/4” x 9”
 2. Score along the 9” end at 2 1/8”, 4 ¼”, 6 3/8” and 8 1/2 “
 3. Turn 90’ and score at 2 3/4”
 4. With the 8 1/4” side on top, and your 2 3/4” score to the left of the card stock cut to measure 6”.  Save the piece that is cut off.
5.     Measure the ‘scrap pieces’ and cut to 3 1/8, making sure to include the ‘tab’.  You’ll end up with a piece that now has a tab along each side.  Cut in half at 1 1/8” so now you have to strips, each with a ‘tab’ on each end.  Fold tabs up in a ‘z’ and adhere sticky strip to ends and set aside.
6. Take main card stock piece so the 2 3/4” side is at the top and cut along the small square score lines to create flaps.  Trim off tiny strip left over, you don’t need it.
7. Fold on the creases and use sticky strip to adhere box together.
8.  To decorate the flaps you can use DSP or card stock for the top four panels, cutting them at 2” x 2 5/8”
9.  Add two ‘z’ strips inside of box – these are your two panels to stick your decorations that you want to ‘pop’ out of the box.
10.  If you want to add card stock for writing your message to the back of the box – this piece will need to be cut at 5 7/8” x 2”
11.  Embellish as desired.  Create your own envelope for this card using the envelope punch board.
