Hello! I’m so pleased that you have popped by my website/page/post/blog … to see what I have been up to in the wonderful world of Stampin’ Up!® creativity.

Some of my recent posts have featured the HYDRANGEA HILL DESIGNER SERIES PAPER. There is one design that screamed out to me to use for a masculine card. Obviously, without using the HYDRANGEA HAVEN BUNDLE.

I decided to use this sheet of DSP and integrate it with the WELL SUITED SUITE.

This card is all about collars and ties. And, it is a very uncomplicated card – quick and easy.

I used the tie die to cut the three ties – to create the three different ties, I moved the die to focus on three different angles of the paper. Then I cut three collars, as you can see.

The birthday greeting is clean and sharp. Next time I make this card I think that I will stamp the greeting a second time using a coordinating gray ink so that I can cut BIRTHDAY separately and overlay it – just a way to step up this card. You may have noticed that I have, again, used one of my favourite, go to, die sets – STITCHED RECTANGLES DIES.

I stamped one of the ties, in Mossy Meadow, on the card insert and envelope (although, I couldn’t find the envelope when I took this photo).

There are no ribbons or bling, but I think it is a great masculine birthday card.

Happy stamping.

Hello to each and every happy stamper who pops by to see my latest hydrangea project.

As I was looking through the 6 double-sided designs (there are two of each), I settled on the idea of marrying the three Highland Heather designs.

I cut one in each design, measuring 1-3/4″x 4″ (4.5cm x 10.2cm). Then I adhered them to a Basic White panel, measuring 4″x 5-5/8″ (10.2cm x 14.3cm), as shown. I also attached a length of Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon.

I stamped the flower twice – once colouring just the leaves and stems in Old Olive and a second time in Highland Heather.

Using the HYDRANGEA DIES, I cut out the flower that I placed Stampin’ Dimensionals under to lift the flower on the card front. I also used another of the dies to cut out lots of the individual petals in White Vellum.

I’m so pleased with the way the head of the hydrangea looks with the added vellum petals.

After stamping the sentiment, I used the new TREASURED TAGS PICK A PUNCH to shape the end of the card stock.

Last, but not least, some PASTEL PEARLS scattered across the front.

And, I’m off to make another card.

Happy stamping.

Hello and welcome. If you are returning, a huge thank you. If you are new, I’m so pleased that you found me.

As promised, I’m not posting my cactus cards day after day, just every other a day. Only five more to go – only ten days.

For this card, I stamped my own Designer Series Paper using some of the stamps from the FLOWERING CACTUS STAMP SET.

The two flowers were also stamped onto the card insert and envelope.

I used Terracotta Tile and Pear Pizzazz. Then it was adhered to a piece of ‘real’ DSP.

The prickly pear was fussy cut from the DSP and adhered onto a die cut piece of Basic White caard stock. The

The felt flower is a cute finishing touch to the terracott pot.

I have a question for you. Should I make cards that have different folds to the tent fold card I make most of the time?

Please let me know what you would like me to make and share in the future.

Happy stamping.
