Jul 20, 2016 | Masculine, Thank You |
Have you ever had a super busy day and in the middle of it remembered that you needed a card? That was me today! Making a masculine Thank You card is a snap with the Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Pack. This is the perfect paper for direct stamping and that is exactly what I did.
Ginger's Snaps:
- 4-1/4" x 11" Crumb Cake Card Base scored at 5-1/2"
- 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" Basic Black C.S. Mat
- 4" x 5-1/4" DSP
- Stamp the sentiment from Thankful Thoughts with Tuxedo memento Black Ink
- Cut 2 Black/Very Vanilla strips from Playful Palette – sizes are 1/4" x 4" & 1/2" x 4"
- Attach to the card front
- Embellish with a few Gold Metallic Enamel Shapes.
- Use the same pattern paper to cover the flap of a Crumb Cake Envelope. This increases the "specialness" of a handmade card and I am very partial to the way the card & the envelope coordinate.

Jul 18, 2016 | Birthday, Masculine |
I am partial to the Smoky Slate, Pool Party & Calypso Coral color combo & I am super excited that those are the colors in A Little Foxy Designer Series Paper Stack. When I decided to use my new Calypso Coral Ombre Stampin' Pad I knew just what dsp I would use with it.
Ginger Snaps:
- Pool Party C.S. card base embossed with the Sparkle Textured Impressions Embossing Folder
- Smoky Slate C.S. mat for the A Little Foxy DSP layer
- Pool Party C.S. mat for the sentiment layer
- Stamp the Stylized Birthday with the Calypso Coral Ombre Pad – that is why the sentiment gets lighter in color as you go from left to right.
- Accessorize with Pool Party & Calypso Coral Enamel Shapes. The Calypso Coral Shape did not photograph well but it truly is Calypso Coral.

A hearty congratulations to my friend and downline Linda on the birth of her twin grandsons! I knew just the stamp I wanted to use for this special card.
Wow! This stamp is so easy to use and creates such realistic images. It uses 3-step stamping but Stampin' Up! has made it easy for us by labeling the stamps with a 1 or a 2 or a 3. In addition, each stamp has an arrow tab so lining the stamp up with the previous image is a snap. Start with your lightest color first followed by progressively darker inks. This can be accomplished with different inks or by stamping off.
Ginger Snaps:
- Dapper Denim 4-1/4" x 11" cardbase scored at 5-1/2 & a banner below the sentiment.
- Moroccan DSP 3-1/4" x 4-1/2"
- Very Vanilla C.S. 3-3/4" x 4" mat & a sentiment banner
- Stamp the bear images twice in the following order:
- Baby Bear stamp 1 with Crumb Cake Ink
- Baby Bear stamp 2 with Soft Suede Ink
- Baby Bear stamp 3 with Early Espresson Ink
- Fussy cut the bears & pop them up with Stampin' Dimensional
- The Bow Ties are 2-step stamping
- Bow 1 with Soft Sky Ink
- Bow 2 with Marina Mist Ink
- Fussy cut the bow ties & adhere with Snail
- Place a Dapper Denim Enamel Shape in the middle of each bow.
- Wrap Very Vanilla Thick Baker's Twine around the bottom part of the card and tie in a bow.
These bears looks so real that I just want to squeeze them! And, what a fun way to welcome twin boys. Of course the inside of the card needed to to let Linda know how excited we are for her family.
