Masculine Cards With Texture

So many people find making cards for boys and men, that much more challenging than the ones they make for girls and ladies.
Most of my family are males, so I need to practise a lot, especially when I don't have a stamp relating to their current interest. Between them, there are a LOT of interests! We have surfing, bodyboarding, snowboarding, cycling including BMX racing, stop-motion video making, drawing cartoons, bonsai, general gardening, wood turning, resin moulding ...... but not too many stamps fit those interests -LOL!

The texture folders in the new Stampin' Up! Annual catalogue are fabulous for all sorts of cards but particularly masculine ones. The Misty Moonlight card shows the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder, In Good Taste designer Series paper, a big sentiment from A Grand Kid, a new stamp set that I just HAD to get!

The video link shows you a 20 minute video making the card below the link.

On the Cinnamon Cider card, I've included the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder, Beautiful World stamps and the reverse of the In Good Taste DSP. There are differences between the two Cinnamon Cider cards, because everytime I make a card, I change something up, unless they are for a swap. The patterns in the In Good Taste DSP are so varied that they will be useful for all types of cards. Imagine the blue tiles with a jar of sunflowers in front. There is a pretty pink fabric included in this paper range as well, so plenty of options for males and females.

I used the 'happy birthday' from Itty Bitty Birthdays on all three cards, that stamp set has something for every birthday. Now I'm feeling all inspired to go try out this card 'map' with some other papers I have in my stash.

Just at the moment, my two favourite In Colors are Cinnamon Cider and Misty Moonlight, and I thought you might like to compare them with colours we already have.

Please check out the NEW online store, no one will pester you to buy while you're there, just browse to your hearts content. If you choose to shop with me , I'd be very happy to make your experience a good one. I like to send a card, and if your order is less than $250 and you use the Host code, I share the host dollars with you, so make sure you allow me to contact you.

Beach Birthday CTC#234

Welcome back to another week of CASE-ing The Catty. The crew is made up of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all parts of Australia and New Zealand.You are at the blog of Rachel Palmieri, Independent Stampin' Up!® demonstrator. I run classes at my home studio in South Morang, Victoria, share Stampin' Up!® products and tools at parties for my customers, coach my lovely team and create cards and the occasional 3D project. We are inspired to CASE Pressed Petals DSP - colours and layouts from pages 72-74.

The colours in this paper include Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Rococo Rose, Night of Navy, Mossy Meadow, Merry Merlot, Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz. That's a lot of colours, so you don't have to use them all!!! It's so much easier if I explain that I left out Rococo Rose and substituted Whisper White for Very Vanilla.

I nearly forgot my youngest son's birthday (today) so luckily he has gone away to the beach until Monday and I had some time to whip this up. This is the only image in A Good Man stamp set that has no child, and I guess it suits that the chap is lounging, maybe at the beach. I can assure you, there'll have been no lounging at the beach this weekend, it has been bitterly cold around Victoria, and the wind off Bass Strait will cut straight through you. They'll probably have gone for a drive and a quick walk, but most of the time will be spent in front of the wood fire!!!

I mostly used Stampin' Blends for colouring, but Merry Merlot doesn't have a blend, so I've used a marker, very carefully, on the deck chair. I also took the opportunity to use up some recently retired DSP, Floral Romance was such a pretty paper that I just might have been afraid to cut it!

It's time to check out Michelle's trio of cards

We'd love you to join us this week, just CASE those colours (or most of them) and share here, at our Facebook page.

I'd love you to choose my online shop to purchase from, and when you use the Host Code when asked at check out, I will send you a gift, along with a handmade card. The items listed below were used in my card above, and link to that item in my online shop.
