Our hop for this week is “for the men/ boys’ and we can interpret that any way we like. I have a twin brother who likes to carve – and one of the ‘beasts’ he likes to carve is fish. He lives in Oregon and while I have not physically seen the fish he has carved, he is a detail-oriented man and has a real talent with color & design, and this just seemed like a fun idea to me, to create a card around fish. The Let’s Go Fishing DSP in the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog is really beautiful. The colors are soft – and well, just perfect. I must now order the stamps, dies, etc.!
I’ve used Boho Blue for my card base cut at 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5 1/2, 6 3/4 and 8 7/8. I added layers of Copper Clay to various panels: (2) 4 1/8 x 4 1/8, 3 x 3 (this is on dimensionals) and 1 1/8 x 4 1/8. DSP layers are 4 x 4 and 1 x 4. The Very Vanilla inside layer is 4 x 4. On it is a die cut from Very Vanilla layered onto Pecan Pie. I SHOULD HAVE used Copper Clay ink for the stamping and for the layer for the sentiment!!! It was a goof :O) Ok, where was I ??? :O)
Using the side view, you can see where the facing panel of Copper Clay & DSP are adhered. . on that of course, is the square set on it like a diamond – attached with dimensionals. The Boho Blue panel was run through the Splatters & Stripes Embossing Folder – you know, fish & bubbler! The fish were fussy cut and also added with dimensionals. A few 2023-2025 In Color Dots were added to the diamond shape and one just off, hopefully making it look like bubbles from the fish. C’mon, use your imagination…
For the inside of the card, a panel of the Copper Clay then a Very Vanilla panel stamped and with a stamped sentiment die cut. The fun stamped corners are from He’s All That stamp set – a very masculine stamp set. The sentiment is also from that same stamp set, stamped on Very Vanilla and die cut with All That Dies.. I die cut another layer in Pecan Pie, cut it down the middle and added each to the underside of the stamped piece. That got put on dimensionals so the upper portion had something to lean against or ‘stand’ against.I added two 2023-2025 In Color Dots to make the sentiment more pronounced.
Let’s see, I think I forgot one step – the 1 1/8 x 4 1/8 Copper Clay piece with the 1 x 4 Let’s Go Fishing DSP… that all added with liquid glue. The pictures are showing the perfect placement.
I think that’s it. GADS… Did I totally mess with your mind with those directions??? You will see some fun creations today, so take a peak around the various links. Use the ‘previous’ link to visit Karen Finkle or the ‘next’ link to visit Carol, or… click on a name to take you where you want to go. Have fun, enjoy the tour,

We have a fun theme challenge today for our scheduled weekly hop – outdoors!
This is a fun fold… hmmm what do we call this? Side fold? I don’t know. but let me tell you how to make this…
The card base is cut 8 1/4 x 4 1/4 and scored on the long side at 5 1/2. I used the new Misty Moonlight for the base. It has just a hint of gray in it. And it’s perfect for a sailing card :O) I cut a panel of the Sun Prints DSP in stripe 2 1/2 x 4 (yep, it’s retiring and I’m trying to use it!). This was adhered to the left front fold. I wrapped a length of Baker’s Twine (carrying over!) from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack in Crumb Cake around it twice and tied a knot, which I adhered with a glue dot right at the knot. For the inside, I added a piece of another design but also from Sun Prints DSP, to the right inside of the card base (4 1/8 x 5 3/8). THEN… I cut Basic White card stock 7 1/4 x 3 1/2 and scored it at 3 5/8. This becomes the right-sided fold that flips over the front left panel of the card base. I stamped the two sentiments in Misty Moonlight ink (new!) from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set (retiring!) I then added this basic white folded piece to the card base, as shown.
For the front of that Basic White addition , I added another piece of the Sun Prints DSP (retiring!) to the front of that fold. It was cut 3 3/8 x 3 3/8. Now to decorate that square… Using the Stylish Shapes Dies largest circle, I die cut a piece of the Hues of Happiness DSP (yep, retiring). I stamped the bird image from Let’s Set Sail in Memento ink, then added that circle with dimensionals. Now… the sailboat :O), the boat was stamped in Misty Moonlight ink; the sails were stamped in Crushed Curry ink, then punched with the Sailboat Builder Punch. I added the boat directly to the circle, then attached the sails with mini dimensionals. And guess what, the card was done.
For the envelope… more of the Sun Prints DSP on the flap trimmed to fit and another narrow strip added to the bottom of the envelope front. This is yet another great masculine card for my stash – yay!
My demonstrator order of new products arrived from Stampin’ Up! late last night. Somehow it got ‘lost in the shuffle’ and finally arrived. I cannot WAIT TO PLAY!!! What will I play with first? Probably the daisies… I’m a daisy FAN! :O) But who knows?
Time to move on in the hop… click the ‘next’ button to visit Carol, or click on a name if you want to skip around. Enjoy!
Did you take advantage of the FREE SHIPPING from Stampin’ Up! yesterday? I know I did… card stock, kits, & other stuff too. It was such a good deal! So appreciative they did that! Speaking of grateful…
When you place an order of $50 or more (before shipping & taxes), you receive from me a SU! item valued up to $10 + Star-Studded Rewards. If your order exceeds $150, do not use my HOST CODE as SU! has it’s own rewards from which you may choose. You will still receive that FREE ITEM from me up to $10 + the Star-Studded Rewards. And if your order is $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials. BONUS! :O)

MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY SENDING THEM A HANDMADE CARD FILLED WITH LOVE.
It’s Monday morning and a full day ahead… what are your plans? I’ve a bit of computer work today, card making :o), gardening :O) and more, but first, I want to share this masculine birthday card. Part of what makes it masculine is the colors, another is its simplicity and non-fussiness.
I began with retiring Sahara Sand card stock to make this A2 top fold card. Does it seem that I’m trying to use my stash in preparation for all the new? Well – you are sooooo right! I have gotten stuck however, using what’s on my desk. :O( Nonetheless… here’s the card.
As I mentioned, Sahara Sand for the card base. Starting from the front:
By the Bay DSP cut 2 7/8 x 3 7/8
Layer this to Basic White 3 x 4
Adhere both to a coordinating By the Bay DSP 3 7/8 x 5 1/8
And Balmy Blue 4 x 5 1/4.
Wrap with a length of Burlap Ribbon from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack (carrying over!). Adhere ribbon in back with Stampin’ Seal
Adhere all this to the card base with dimensionals
Stamp the sentiment in Night of Navy ink on a Basic White scrap. This sentiment comes from Waves of Inspiration stamp set – carrying over!
Die cut sentiment with Waves Dies, carrying over… and adhere over the ribbon with dimensionals
Add three Enamel Dot Essentials in Crumb Cake and the front is complete
For the inside… adhere a Basic White 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 to a Balmy Blue piece 4 x 5 1/4. Adhere a strip of By the Bay DSP to the bottom and attach all this to the inside of the card.
The envelope… super simple… a coordinating piece of By the Bay DSP for the envelope flap and this masculine card is ready to be sent.
Here’s the exciting part about the products used for this card… The Waves of Inspiration stamp set and its coordinating Waves Dies are carrying over… just not as a bundle. The Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack is also carrying over. Balmy Blue, Night of Navy and Basic White card stock are also carrying over, as are the Balmy Blue ink and Night of Navy inks. :O) What is not carrying over into the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog is the By the Bay Designer Series Paper and the Enamel Dot Essentials or the Sahara Sand card stock.Prices are changing in the new catalog… production costs have risen as everything else has risen (such as food costs, clothing costs, gasoline, etc.) If you have a chance, check out getting these carry-over items now before the price increases with the new catalog. You may do that order from me here.
When you place an order of $50 or more (before shipping & taxes), you receive from me a SU! item valued up to $10 + Star-Studded Rewards. If your order exceeds $150, do not use my HOST CODE as SU! has it’s own rewards from which you may choose. You will still receive that FREE ITEM from me up to $10 + the Star-Studded Rewards.

MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY SENDING THEM A HANDMADE CARD FILLED WITH LOVE.
Good Sunday morning! I have a quick and easy masculine card for you today using By the Bay Designer Series Paper and the Waves of Inspiration stamp set.
Notice how the DSP has a continuous flow of the pattern. I love it when that happens! The DSP was cut 1 x 4 (three of them) and adhered to a Balmy Blue panel 3 1/2 x 4 1/2. This was attached to a very slightly larger Sahara Sand card stock, 3 5/8 x 4 5/8. I wrapped this gorgeous Night of Navy Bordered Ribbon around these panels and tied a knot. These panels were adhered the to a Night of Navy card base with dimensionals. I took this wonderful image of the seagull on pilings from Waves of Inspiration stamp set and stamped it with Sahara Sand ink. I colored the bill of the seagull very lightly with Watercolor Pencils Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie, die cut with the Waves Dies and attached it over the ribbon with dimensionals. And the card front was done.
For the inside…. a Sahara Sand panel was attached to the inside of the card, then a piece of Basic White, then a strip of the Bay the Bay on the left side. Also on the inside, I added another piece of the By the Bay DSP to the upper portion of the inside. It just really tied everything together and made the card extra special.
Now for the envelope…
This Waves of Inspiration stamp set is just gorgeous! I stamped it first in Balmy Blue ink on the envelope front, then lightly added Night of Navy ink in places and stamped it again. It is really quite stunning. Of course, more of the By the Bay DSP on the envelope flap trimmed to fit.
Here’s the exciting part about the products used for this card… The Waves of Inspiration stamp set and its coordinating Waves Dies are carrying over… just not as a bundle. The Night of Navy Bordered Ribbon is also carrying over. Balmy Blue, Night of Navy and Basic White card stock are also carrying over, as are the Balmy Blue ink and Night of Navy ink. AND the Watercolor Pencils are also carrying over :O) What is not carrying over into the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog is the By the Bay Designer Series Paper.
Prices are changing in the new catalog… production costs have risen as everything else has risen (such as food costs, clothing costs, gasoline, etc.) If you have a chance, check out getting these carry-over items now before the price increases with the new catalog. You may do that order from me here.
As so many items are being sold out rapidly, best thing to do is visit my ‘shop’ and see what’s still available. If it’s listed, it’s available. If it isn’t listed, it’s sold out – simple as that. The sale goes to May 1, 2023.

Good morning folks! It’s Saturday… and I have a masculine card for you using the By the Bay Designer Series Paper. This is for a gentleman who just had a hip replacement and is struggling with being able to do things. Thankfully he just began rehab, but he’s a bit ‘under the weather’ you might say. He’s a really big man and that’s part of the trouble… moving isn’t easy. So, a card for encouragement!
Isn’t this paper pretty? It’s also masculine and that helps me keep it simple. I really like how these papers coordinate and in corporate other shades of blue and bring in Sahara Sand and some sparkly as well. I used Wisteria Wishes stamp set for the sentiment and Night of Navy ink. To die cut, I used two dies from Something Fancy Dies (carrying over!) and die cut the larger in Night of Navy and the sentiment is Basic White. I wrapped Linen thread around each end of the Basic White piece (this fellow is a sailing friend and it fits), tied knots then added it to the Night of Navy piece with dimensionals. Then onto the card base with liquid glue. I added Sea Glass embellishments to tie in the colors of the DSP.
So… book fold how to:
Card base is 4 1/4 x 11 scored @ 5 1/2 and 6 3/4. Burnish the score lines
Add adhesive to the area between score lines and secure to the unscored section of the card. And there you have it, the book fold!
My card base is Balmy Blue – a carry over color. :O) The layers on the card are Night of Navy (carry over color) and the DSP. I’ll put the measurements at the bottom of the post. For the inside Idid not add the layer of Night of Navy, but did add a 5/8 strip of the By the Bay DSP to the Basic White panel.
This inside leaves plenty of room for words of personal encouragement for this gentleman. For the envelope, I again kept it really simple… more By the Bay DSP on the envelope flap and that was it. This man does not want fussy.
Now… products… As you know Stampin’ Up! is coming out with their new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog May 2 and have done a color refresh at the same time. That’s why I mentioned Balmy Blue and Night of Navy are carry over colors. Below is a list of those colors being retired.

Pear Pizzazz
Mint Macaron
Rich Razzleberry
So Saffron
Merry Merlot
Pacific Point
Mango Melody

Welcome to a Tuesday hop with Amy’s Krew! The theme is ‘celebrate’ and we can interpret that however…,I’ve created what I consider a masculine card with this delightfully fun Desert Details Bundle available in the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog, so Jan 5! I can’t believe I’m writing 2023 on stuff – ‘cuz I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!
The Desert Details Bundle is very Aztec’y’, different & delightful (‘cuz it is different). I’ve used Designer Series Papers from the suite of products and an embellishment from the suite as well: Delicate Desert 12×12 DSP & Dry-Brushed Metallic Specialty DSP (also 12×12); Gold Faceted Adhesive-Backed Sequins .
This doesn’t give a very good image of the center DSP – let’s try another photo…
Here ya go – now you can see the inner DSP a bit better. Look at that wonderful detail! The colors in the various papers of this particular DSP are Calypso Coral, Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent, Petal Pink, Gray Granite & Cajun Craze. The polka dot in the background is one of the papers, as is the shiny (this is the Dry-Brushed Specialty DSP!) AND the center paper as well (Delicate Desert DSP). Aren’t they F-U-N? And you see I added a copper trim. And those wonderful embellishments are Gold Faceted Adhesive-Backed Sequins. Here’s what I created on the inside.
Here you can see two of the very decorative long stamps – stamped in Gray Granite. The sentiment is also part of the Desert Details stamp set and is stamped in Soft Succulent. The very thin strips were remnants from the copper die cut on the front and I had to use them. Unfortunately the more detailed strip isn’t on straight, but can see how very cool it is.
For the envelope I stamped this wonderful detail stamp in Gray Granite near the edge of the envelope, then added more of the Delicate Desert DSP to the flap. This is just a wonderful masculine card. I love the layers of it and all the detail, yet it can so easily be sent to a man. Let’s take a quick peek at the bundle and a closer look at the DSP used.
Now you have seen my card and it’s time to move to the next Krew member who is participating – Akiko! Check out her fun card by hitting the ‘next’ button or visit Jaimie by using the ‘previous’ button OR go to any participating member by clicking on their name 😁 Do enjoy and have fun hopping!

Oh my goodness… I received some preorder items from the Jan-April Mini Catalog along with a few Jan/Feb Sale-a-bration items and I’m having SO MUCH FUN! Today’s card features Dandy Designs DSP and the Adorable Owls stamp set from the Sale-a-bration catalog – AND it’s a super easy Fun Fold. Let’s take a peek…
Isn’t this little guy just the cutest! And the sentiment ‘Hoot! Hoot!’ is also from the Adorable Owls stamp set. Actually it’s a partial sentiment… meaning I used some retired Washi tape to cover the part I didn’t want to use. I also used some White 6×6 Glimmer Paper for the upper DSP. The other DSP is called Dandy Designs DSP and is a large pack of 30 sheets of 12×12. The dots are the reverse of the sideways stripes. :O) Let me share with you how to make this fun fold design…
Cut the card base (here it is Balmy Blue) 5 1/2 x 7 1/4 and score @ 4 1/4
Cut another panel of Balmy Blue 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 (that’s the front largest square)
Cut DSP:
2 3/4 x 5 1/4 (here I used the White 6×6 Glimmer Paper)
4 x 5 1/4 for inside panel
3 1/4 x 3 14
Adhere panels to the appropriate places with adhesive of choice.
Stamp the owl from Adorable Owls stamp set in Memento Black ink on Basic White panel
Color owl with Stampin’ Blends
Light & Dark Soft Suede for the body of the owl
Dark Daffodil Delight for the eyes
Dark Basic Black – for the smaller portion of the eyes
Light Basic Black for the beak + Color Lifter for highlighting
Dark Pumpkin Pie for the bow tie
Chalk Marker (white) for the eye highlight
Die cut owl panel with Stylish Shapes Dies
Adhere owl to the square panel, centering, with dimensionals
Stamp the sentiment from Adorable Owls stamp set, covering unwanted portion, in Memento Black
Adhere to square panel with mini dimensionals. The right end of the sentiment will need stacked dimensionals
Adhere completed square to top panel only
Add Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems in Balmy Blue
For the inside… cut another Basic White Square 3 1/4 x 3 1/4. Stamp owl as listed above & color. Stamp sentiment using the Inspired Thoughts stamp set in Memento Black ink. To adhere… open card, lay this panel on the upper panel right side down & upside down, centering it on the square. Add adhesive and close the bottom portion of the card on the piece. Bingo – attached properly 😀👍
For the envelope… more of the same Balmy Blue & White stripe pattern from Dandy Designs DSP – on the flap of course. I chose not to stamp anything on the envelope front. This card was sent already… to a man friend who recently had surgery. I hope he likes it – and he feels better too!
Now, what you need to know about this fun fold… this was a landscape design. It can also be portrait. I’ll share one of those in a couple of days 😁
The Balmy Blue and also the Basic White card stocks are part of the 2022-2023 Annual catalog. The Blends, Memento Black ink and Chalk Marker are in that same catalog as is Inspired Thoughts stamp set. The Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems and White Glimmer 6×6 are in the Jul-Dec 2022 Mini Catalog – as Real Red & White 6×6 Glimmer pack. These are all available for purchase through my online store (see below). If you do not have a demonstrator & need catalogs, please reach out to me.

And remember to use my current HOST CODE 4BGN9HG4 to earn credit from me.

Welcome to Wednesday – the midweek hump :O) And how’s it going for you? It’s going well here. I have two cards for you today, both very similar and are sympathy cards. It’s most unfortunate we need these, but it is necessary and I want them to reflect my sincerity in the family or friend loss. These are pretty simple cards, unfussy, but I think they ‘fill the bill’.
This is the first card, and it uses the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder, Deckled Rectangle Dies, Metallic Edge Cotton Ribbon (wonderful silver trim!), Inspired Thoughts stamp set (sentiment stamped in Smoky Slate ink) and Abigail Rose DSP plus Pastel Pearls in Blue. Here’s the inside and the envelope. The card base is Smoky Slate; layers are Very Vanilla. The DSP is Abigail Rose.
Card 2 uses the very same layout but the card base is Basic White; Abigail Rose DSP but a different pattern, Beauty of Friendship stamp set for the front sentiment (fussy cut) and Inspired Thoughts stamp set for the inside sentiment, each stamped in Smoky Slate ink. Crinkled Seam Binding is the bow with a bit of the Silver cording to tie it together. The Stitched Greenery Die was used for the background and of course, the Deckled Rectangle Dies to die cut the panels of DSP & Basic White. I really like the leaf pattern here and how the Stitched Greenery Die further enhances that aspect. And yes, more of the Pastel Pearls in Blue. They are such a soft shade they easily pass for Smoky Slate even though they aren’t :O)
Gosh, this envelope photo looks blurry! Sorry ’bout that… the DSP is the same Abigail Rose pattern as on the card front. And I stamped the leaf pattern from Cottage Rose stamp set in Smoky Slate ink so it’s soft and not too demanding to the eye.
These are two understated sympathy cards, nothing demanding to the eye and a welcome addition for a sympathy card.
As I have mentioned several times, Stampin’ Up! does an incredible job of coordinating it’s items. ~ from embellishments to DSP to stamp sets & dies. So many coordinate well together that it makes it really easy to combine from various items to make a card ‘work’. Thank you Stampin’ Up!

Good Friday morning! Wow – the week has flown… and I have a friendly, wintry card for you today. Wintry – because I’m using Wonderful Snowflakes and In Color 6×6 DSP in Starry Sky. I’ve cut a square just slightly larger than the snowflake and adhered that to a Basic White square a bit larger than that and set it aside while preparing the card base.
The card base is Thick Basic White. I took another panel of regular Basic White and splattered it with my Starry Sky Marker by flicking the brush tip end on the lid, flicking it away from me & onto the panel. When it was covered enough, I added a strip of In Color 6×6 DSPin Starry Sky, and adhered that to a Starry Sky panel slightly larger. I put dimensionals on the back and added it to the card base. I added the square with the Wonderful Snowflake to that with dimensionals as well. Adhesive Backed Seasonal Sequins in white were added, then 2022-2024 In Color Matte Dots in Starry Sky. I wrapped the 2022-2024 In Color Bakers Twine in Starry Sky, around my three fingers three times and tied a knot then adhered it with a glue dot – and the card front was done.
Because I wanted this to just be available for a note (of thanks, of appreciation, whatever) I kept it really simple: A Basic White panel adhered to a Starry Sky panel and into the inside of the card. This could easily serve as a masculine card – and I like having those ready at hand. I can easily add a sentiment & make it a birthday card too :O)
The last but not least – is the envelope… more of the In Color 6×6 DSP in Starry Sky adhered to the envelope flap & trimmed to fit. Done. Oh I do like how this came together :O) Card cuts for this project will be listed at the end of this post.

Good morning, good morning. I’ve an encouragement card for you today. A friend of mine has had some health issues for a bit & just needs a ‘pick-me-up’, so I send cards every now & then to let her know she’s in my prayers and not forgotten in her pain. I’ve used Perched In A Tree stamp set with it’s coordinating Aspen Tree Dies – one of my favs.
I’ve tried coloring this sweet bird similar to a chickadee – not sure that worked so that’s why I’m telling you :O). I used Watercolor Pencils after stamping with Memento ink on a Basic White scrap: Basic Black, Basic Gray, Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral , Whisper White and then blended with a Blender Pen to smooth the lines. It was then die cut with the appropriate die from the Aspen Trees Dies. My next step was to die cut several of these gorgeous leaves from the Aspen Trees Dies: Brushed Metallic paper & Copper Foil Sheets. I used a circle on my desk die cut for another project to create the sun/ moon. I used a Blending Brush with So Saffron ink then Mango Melody ink around the edges. It isn’t real bright cuz it’s on Gray Granite card stock. I used another Blending Brush to add some Balmy Blue ink all over, making it look like sky. It’s very subtle, but definitely there in person. I stamped the tree branch in Soft Suede ink and the sentiment in Memento ink – both from the Perched in a Tree stamp set. The bird was adhered over the branch with dimensionals, then the leaves added with liquid glue. The center leaf is adhered with liquid glue at the stem and a dimensional on its leaf tip for more depth. This panel was added to a Basic Gray card base.
For the inside I stamped the sentiment in Balmy Blue ink using Perched In A Tree stamp set, then used a Blending Brush to add a frame of color to the Basic White panel. I included the large die cut leaf from the Aspen Trees Dies with liquid glue. This leaf was die cut from Copper Foil Sheets. The panel was added to the inside of the Basic Gray card base.
For the envelope, stamp the branch again with Soft Suede ink on the front. Add a strip of Basic Gray that has been run through the Timber 3D embossing folder to the flap, trim to fit. This could so easily be a masculine card, and I don’t have many of those. However, as I mentioned earlier, this for a woman friend this time.
