A Masculine Birthday Card with Wildlife Wonder

Are masculine cards hard for you?  They are for me.  Give me flowers any day.  The theme for the Tutorial Medley Facebook group was to make a masculine card.  I ended up using a lot of different supplies, but I think you would think of the Wildlife Wonder stamp set when you see it.

I've also used the Biggest Wish stamp set, Nuts About Squirrels for the saying, Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper, Linen Thread, the Majestic Mountain dies, and more.  I always write out the directions for the cards that I post, but why do it twice.  I have a tutorial you can download.  And it's free!

Here are a few more pictures of this card.

Thanks for taking a look.  Maybe you'll try this card or use it to come up with your own ideas!  Send me a picture!

This card is part of a series of tutorials all based on a masculine theme.  They are free to my Luv 2 Create team and to customers making a purchase.  I email them to you near the end of the month.

A Brewed For You Bundle Birthday!

Today I'm using the Brewed for You bundle with the Brewed dies.  This is perfect for a man, but wait, it's perfect for anyone who enjoys a little brewed libation.  I'm working on birthday cards for a nephew and a brother-in-law. I'll share 2 versions that are very similar.

This card was fun to make.  Start with a base of Basic Black cut to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and folded at 4 1/4.  Next, you'll need a piece of Basic White cut to 4 x 5 1/4.  Stamp the beer mug and the glass randomly over this paper using Memento Black.  Hint:  Let your paper dry for a couple minutes.  I went right on with the card and had a little smearing.  It's an opportunity to be creative, right!  I will share.

Use a piece of the Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper cut to 1 1/2 x 5 1/4 down the left side of the card.  So here was my first smear.  It was right beside of the DSP I added and just to the left.  I covered it up with another piece of Perfectly Penciled cut to 1/8 x 5 1/4.  Butting it up next to the first paper covered almost all of the smear.  Of course a matching strip of paper must be added to the other side.

For the focal point cut a Mango Melody large circle and a Basic Black next largest circle using the Stylish Shapes dies.  These are glued to the card and to each other.

Stamp the mug on white and stamp the liquid in Mango Melody.  It's pretty easy since these are photopolymer clear stamps.  Stamp the bubbles as well.  These are stamped in Memento Black.

Cut these out using the Brewed dies.  I used Wink of Stella on the bubbles and the chilled mug.  Add these pieces with dimensionals.  Tuck the bubbles just a little behind the mug.

The saying is cut out using the Stylish Shapes as well.  I had a little strip of the 1/8 inch paper and decided to use it on the saying as well.  Add with glue and with dimensionals where needed.

Finish with some of the Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots.

So here is my second card.  When I stamped the mug and glass I had some smearing right  behind where the top mug is located.  I also had smearing where I placed the saying.  I had to adjust.  I made three mugs and stamped the saying on Mango Melody.  It worked!

Here's the inside of the card.  Stamp the bubbles, mug, and beer.  Cut out and glue to the card.  I cut these out because I wanted to put the bubbles behind just a little.  That cute saying is part of the Brewed for You stamp set.

Thanks for spending a little time here today.  I hope you'll make these cards for someone you know that likes a little brew!

He's All That! Twisted Gate Fold Card

Today I have a twisted gate fold featuring the He's All That stamp set and the He's the Man Designer Series Paper.  I love a paper with small images and this DSP answers the bill!  It's a great overall man paper but probably it's not just for men.  It's appeal could be wider of course.

This card is smaller than the usual card.  You might wonder about mailing it.  It will fit in the normal A2 card that we use in the USA.  

Start with a base of Early Espresso that measures 4 1/4 x 7 1/2.  Score at 2 1/2 and again at 5.  There is some diagonal scoring as well.  I do have a video below showing how to do the scoring.  For each of the end segments the diagonal goes in the same direction.  At the left start in the upper left corner and end in the lower right.  At the right start at the upper left as well and end in the right corner.  Use the cutting well on the Stampin' Trimmer.  Refer to the video.

The end sections will be folded with mountain folds.  At the left fold back and on the right fold down.

Now we have the basic fold.  Easier than it looks.  You will need 2 pieces of the He's the Man Designer Series Paper.  They measure 2 1/4 x 3 7/8.  Cut the paper diagonally.  For the paper with directionality start at the upper right and cut down to the corner.  It will go on the card behind the flaps if that helps with a visual.  The other paper has no direction.  You can cut it either way.

Glue all the pieces into place.

Use the  Stylish Shapes dies to cut the largest circle in Early Espresso and the next largest circle in Sahara Sand.  I used the Stamparatus to mount the stamp from He's All That.  I traced around the circle on my grid paper.  (I made this in a class.)  I wanted to make sure that the image was good and dark.  Glue the circles together.  Add a knot of Early Espresso Faux Suede Trim and use the Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots.

Be careful when using dimensionals to add the circle label.  You don't want to adhere the whole card so it won't open.  Lay the label on your card to determine where dimensionals should go on the flap.

The inside of the card is Sahara Sand measuring 2 1/4 x 4.  The saying is in the He's All That stamp set.

I realize that this is a different kind of fold.  I did enjoy making it.  Here's the video.  I hope you enjoy it.

 

Thanks so much for joining me today.  We are starting a new month and you have the opportunity to get 25 or so tutorials for May.  We'll be featuring some of the old stamp sets that were carried over to the new annual catalog.  How do you get these for free.  Simply order $50 from me during the month of May or you could join my team.  There is a great offer out now for joining the Lu 2 Create family.

A Good Man Birthday Card

My son-in-law Robby had a birthday last week.  Of course he gets a handmade card!  This is the card I made for him this year.

This card is Robby to a T.  If you have followed me, you know that I am the proud grandmother of Sagan.  She's my only grandchild.  Robby is a wonderful father to her and husband to my daughter Jessie.  I always include a few pics of Sagan at the end of my Tuesday's Timely Tidbits newsletter each Tuesday.  Feel free to subscribe.  I give lots of news, but I think Sagan at the end is the best part.  The A Good Man stamp set is perfect!

This card begins with a base of Pool Party that is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and folded at 4 1/4.

For the words down the right side of the card front, use the Stamparatus.  The HAPPY BIRTHDAY is from the Perennial Birthday stamp set.  Position this stamp between the top right corner and the first notch on the side of the Stamparatus.  Stamp the saying, then take out the clear plate and put it down a section.  Continue to the end of the paper.  This is called hinge stamping.  Position the Here's to You stamp.  This stamp is from the Seaside Notions stamp set.  Hinge stamp your way down the paper again.  I did stamp in Stazon Black.

Add a piece of Pool Party check paper to the left side.  This measures 7/8 x 5 1/2.  This is from the Subtles 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper.

Stamp the image on a piece of Whisper White.  Use Stazon Black.  Color the image with pencils from the Watercolor Pencils Assortment 1 and 2.  Use a Blender Pen after coloring lightly with the pencils.

Around the outside of the image, I colored with the Light Pool Party Blend.  Cut out with the Stitched Nested Labels dies.  Add to the card with dimensionals.  The saying is from the A Good Man stamp set.  Glue the part that overlaps the label and add a dimensional behind the rest.

Here's the inside of Robby's card.  The saying is from A Good Man and from Perennial Birthday.  The image is from A Good Man.  Color with the colored pencils here too.

This was my first time using the A Good Man stamp set.  I've been waiting for Robby's birthday.  It's so perfect for him.  I bet you know someone who deserves a card made with this set.

Thanks so much.  If you need supplies, I would really love to help you.  I would be honored!
