Here are two cards I made using Stampin' Up! products.

2 masculine cards I made for January birthdays.

 

 

Here is the outside and then the inside of the first card.

Then here is the outside and inside of the second card. 

Materials I used - all Stampin' Up! products:
DSP - Birthday Basics
Cardstock - Whisper White, Bermuda Bay and Summer Starfruit
Ink - Bermuda Bay
Stamp sets - Perfect Punches, Heard from the Heart for the verses and Summer Afternoon (hostess set) 
Punches - Decorative Label Punch. 

I took two 12" x 12" sheets of DSP, cut them into 4-1/4" x 5".  Then I cut them to get 1-3/4" x 5" and 2-1/2" x 5", then I took those four pieces and cut them in half at 2" & 3".  I flipped two of the rectangles and pieced them together to achieve the resulting layout.  I stamped the greeting, put it on the Summer Starfruit label and added dimensionals to pop it up. 

This gives a clean and simple masculine card.

I hope you enjoy this tutorial. 

If you should use the design, I would love a reference to my blog! 

I am back again.  I had great plans pre-holidays, but have not had time to do much more on my blog.  One of the reasons is the renovation of our garage entry to our home.  Here are two 'before' pictures and three 'after' pictures.  Put up paneling, added different shelving and rearranged electrical fixtures.  When the warm weather comes, the door and frame will get a fresh coat of paint and that will finish that project. 

My first posting on this new blog!

This is my first posting on this new blog.  I am hoping this will become my Stampin' Up! site.  This will make it possible for people to access my card creations, Stampin' Up! offers, classes and new ideas I have.  Through this website, I hope to help others to enjoy crafting the way I do. 

I have participated in several Stampin' Up! events with my group, the Paper Dollz and I will be posting pics from those soon.  First I need to learn how to upload pics!  lol.

Welcome to my new blog!
