UdderlyAwesome Stamping From The Heart

Focus on Masculine Cards with one of my Hostess Clubs!

On Wednesday, twelve of us got together again and we focused on masculine cards.

Here are the amazing group of ladies who got together!

Left to right:

Pat, Kris, Arlene, Pam, Janet, Richele, Tracey, Roxie (left before we took the picture), Terri (yikes!  We can't see her!), Gloria, Shirley, and Gloria!!!

Here is the card that we made for our hands on project.

The Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder (also in the new 2019-2020 catalog) adds so much texture to the card!

The rest of the card is simple layers.

• Early Espresso layer:  2 1/4"x 5"
• Black layer:  2"x 4 3/4"
• Wood Textures Designer Paper:  1 3/4"x 4 1/2"
• Crumb Cake:  4" x 5 1/4"

• I have listed below the products that you will need to complete this project.

The April host Code is JKAJ9NG9.

Please add this Host Code to the box that says "HOST CODE" to any order with a subtotal of less than $150.

When your order subtotal gets to $150, then you get to use the hostess benefits yourself.

Geared Up Garage

Here is an idea from Brian King.

The surprise with this card is that the car is not stamped! 

You use the Garage Gears Thinlits to cut the car out of the Classic Garage 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper!

• Here are the layers:
• Crumb Cake:  8 1/2"x 5 1/2"
• Black: 3 7/8"x 5 1/8"
• Crushed Curry:  3 5/8"x 4 7/8"
• Black:  3"x 3 3/4"
• Designer Paper:  2 7/8"x 3 5/8"

• I have listed below the products that you will need to complete this project.

Postcard Pals - It's Your Day!

Here is a really fun technique using the new Stitched Rectangle Framelits!

You get TWO CARDS out of one piece of designer paper!!

This is the Wood Textures 6 x 6 Designer Series Papers.

• I used the largest Stitched Rectangle Framelit to cut a frame out of the Wood Textures Designer Paper that was 5 1/4"x 4".
• I wanted to have an 1/8" border around the outside of the frame so that the main card would show a little bit..  That is why I didn't start with a 5 1/2"x 4 1/4" piece of designer paper.
• Next, I took the designer paper that was cut out of the inside and made the next card that you see below.
• I used the Stitched Shapes square for the Early Espresso and the Layering Squares Framelits for the white square.  If you do not have these, you can simply cut out a 2 5/8" square for the Early Espresso and a 2 1/8" white square for the pelican.

Isn't this the greatest idea!!!

PostCard Pals Happy Birthday!

Doesn't this pelican just make you smile!

• After I ran the Soft Suede card stock through the Pinewood Planks embossing folder,I took the Black Memento Pad and pulled it down across the card stock.
• The greeting is from Peaceful Place.
• I used the Soft Suede, Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie, and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends to color in the pelican.
• The last step was to added Wink of Stella to the fish, the water drops, and the pelican's tail feathers!

All Geared Up - so Great for Masculine Cards!

This suite is so interesting!  It's got designer paper and metallic ribbon and metal elements and thinlits!!!

This card could easily be for a birthday or for Father's Day.

The designer paper is called Classic Garage Designer Series Paper.  I also used Basic Black, Tranquil Tide, and Whisper White. I colored in the car with the Smokey Slate Stampin' Blends.  The gears are cut out of the Silver Foil Paper.  And the Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder adds some real interest to the card.

All Geared Up - Happy Birthday

Once again it is so much fun to use the different elements out of this All Geared Up Suite. 

Today I added the Black/Silver 1/4" striped Metallic Ribbon, the Happy Birthday Thinlit, and the Metallic Pearls, which I colored black.

I often cut two Happy Birthdays and stack them on one top of the other to give some additional depth.  And again, the Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder is just perfect for this masculine happy birthday card!

Coffee Cafe Z Card

The women in one of my classes have been wanting to learn how to make the Z Card,

so that is why I've designed several new ones lately.

When you open it, you see this:

Here are a few hints for making this card.

• Even thought the designer paper has a white background, I stamped the coffee cup on Very Vanilla just for a subtle contrast.
• The greeting that comes in the set says Thanks a Latte, which is cute.  But I chose "Enjoy Today" from the Eastern Beauty set because it makes the card so much more versatile.
• I put some Mini Glue Dots down on the scalloped white square and then just patted some Linen Thread over it.  The glue dots easily hold it in place.

I've listed all of the products that you will want to have on hand in order to make this card.

Guy Greeting Z Card

I really enjoy using the car out of the Guy Greetings Set!

And it is retiring, so if you like the set, NOW is the time to be sure to add it to your collection!

The True Gentleman Designer Papers are also retiring.  These are such interesting papers for masculine cards!

And when you open it, here is what you see! So many greetings would work here.

• 
• Just a few tips!
• Score the 8 1/2"x 5 1/2" Soft Suede Cardstock (c/s) at 4 1/4" and then 1 1/4" from either end.  Fold the 1 1/4" flap back.
• I stamped the car in VersaMark and used Copper Embossing Powder on it.
• Poke a hole with a paper piercer and pop in some black brads if you have them.
• If you don't have black brads, you can use a sharpie to color a brad that you black.
• Or  you could also use yellow Enamel Dots if you would like to have yellow headlights!
• I used the Stripes Embossing Folder on the 1 1/4' flap that folds back.  It's subtle, but it does add some interest.

Masculine Eclipse Card

One of my good friends, Mike, is having a birthday this week. 

His wife is a Stampin' Up! demonstrator so I thought that they would both enjoy this eclipse card.

I'm using the True Gentleman Designer Series Paper (DSP) in the Occasions Catalog.

The embellishments are retired.  I couldn't think of what would work that is current.  These silver embellishments look like the tops of screws.  Maybe you have an idea for me?

The main card is Very Vanilla and the next layer is Night of Navy.

The Large Letter Framelits are so amazing for making these eclipse cards!

Guy Greetings with the Woodland Embossing Folder

When you see this card, you will probably wonder, just like I did, "What's the trick?".

  How do you get the car behind the trees?

I definitely had to practice with this before I got it to look good.

• Ink the car from Guy Greetings in the Archival Black pad and stamp it onto the Woodland Embossing folder itself.  Stamp on the side that has the Sizzix logo.
• Place the paper into the folder and run it through the Big Shot.
• I LIGHTLY ran a brayer over the trees with Basic Gray ink.
• I sponged in the clouds using a sponge and a scallop circle paper template that was punched out of grid paper.
• I sponged in the green grass.
• I colored in the car with the Soft Sky, Daffodil Delight (headlights), and Smokey Slate Stampin' Write Makers.
• I scored the c/s at 3/4", 1", 1 3/4" 2" etc.
• The Soft Sky c/s is 1 5/8"x 5 1/4" and the Basic Gray c/s is 2 3/8" x 5 1/4".
• The center white c/s is 3 plus 1/16 x 3 1/2" plus 1 1/6.  The center black is 3 1/4" x 3 3/4".

I've listed all of the products below that you will want to have on hand in order to make this card.
