Hello, everyone and thank you for stopping by.

On my Facebook Live I decided to get a head start and focus a little more on masculine cards. Fathers day is June 18^th and it will be here in a blink of an eye. Time is flying by, and this mama is trying to keep up with everything. Struggle is real y’all. 

A lot of the products I used in this video will be retiring, (May 1) our January-April and Annual catalog is going bye-bye. Make sure to grab these products before they are gone. FOMO is a real killer when it comes to crafting, everything is WHILE SUPPLIES LAST. 

The first 30 minutes of my live I went over what is retiring and what I recommend to buy separately and not as a bundle. Also other ways that you can also find inspiration using SU!’s catalogs. 

We have made masculine cards difficult to make. We want to add the bling and bows to our cards because it is something we are use too; because of that we make it so challenging. Find colors to mix and match and stamp sets that you find to match the DSP you would like to use.

I DO NOT provide PDF’s, for any of my FB Live videos.

However, I will give you the measurements but not instructions. If you would like to know how I achieved a certain technique I suggest you watch the video.

The first card is using the He’s the man DSP and Vintage Tools stamp set

Card base: Crumb Cake 8 ½’ x 5 ½’ scored at 4 ¼’ 

Mats: soft suede cardstock, basic white cardstock

DSP: 5 ¼’ x 4’

Metal Plate 3d embossing folder: 4 ¼’ x 1’

Stamp Pads: smokey slate, crumb cake

Tools: Deckled Rectangles Dies 159173, enamels dot essential, Take a pick tool 

2^nd card I used the He’s all that bundle(AC) and Ready to Ride DSP (MC) 

Card Base: Pumpkin Pie 8 ½’ x 5 ½’ scored at 4 ¼’

Mats: Very Vanilla cardstock 5 3/8’x 4 1/8’

DSP: orange- 5 1/8’ x 3 7/8’

         Tire tracks 2’ x 3 7/8’

Here are some cards I have made using the same bundles and DSP from my video.

I cannot wait for May 2^nd, that’s when the new catalog goes live!! I am super excited with all the new products and cant wait to show you the products and share some ideas with all of you.

Hope you have found some inspiration and if you have any questions regarding any products I have used or just in general please feel free and reach out. I will be more than happy to help.

These are my favorite tools.

Hi everyone and thank you for stopping by.

Wednesday, April 5^th was my 3^rd FB live video! 

On my Live video I made 2 cards using Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose bundle from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog.

You guys this suite will soon retire (WHILE SUPPLIES LAST) so; I suggest you get it before it is gone. A lot of the LAST CHANCE LIST is already gone.

If you are interested in purchasing this bundle make sure you buy it separately and not as a bundle nor suite. The reason for this, is because the dies are on sale but not the stamp set. (Helping you save some money, friend.)

Cottage Rose stamp- 159040 is $25.00 is regular price

My husband is now working nights and having Tuesdays off. Making it a bit difficult to sit down in my craft corner and "zone" out from my daily duties. 

I love making cards and sharing those ideas with you, LIVE. 

I will do my best to stay on top of things and keeping up with my blog.
