I have a special project for you.  A Double Opening Card!  Let's take a look...

  • mask your scored line with Post-It notes
  • Stamp man in chair in Memento Ink on right flap
  • Stamp man in chair on a Post-It note then fussy cut him out.  Cut around his legs so you can get coloring under chair
  • Using Blending Brushes, sponge Pale Papaya at top then work down with So Saffron, Balmy Blue then Crumb Cake
  • Stamp "sand" speckles at bottom in Crumb Cake
  • Color man with Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers (Light Night of Navy for hat, dark Daffodil Delight for shirt, Light Misty Moonlight for shorts, dark Mint Macaron for chair, and Light Petal Pink for skin)

You can now adhere your Very Vanilla folded card to the piece of Soft Suede and then add that to the Coastal Cabana card base.

World of Good Pop-Up Book Card

There is something about a great product suite that is not only masculine, but old world, has lots of foils and is just easy to work with.  Well, this New product suite called World of Good offers all of that! 

So I bit the bullet ladies.... I held my first Zoom card class.  I have been a guest on many Zoom meetings but I had not hosted my own meeting.  So I took a leap of faith and said, just go for it an see what happens.  Luckily, I think it went pretty well.  I wanted to be able to connect and stamp with others so I offered a free creative fold class.  

Everyone picked out there own designer series paper with two or three designs and some coordinating card stock.  I walked them through how to make this really cool pop-up book card. 

For my card, I chose to use the World of Good product suite and I absolutely love how it came out.   I highly recommend the Stampin' Up! Paper Trimmer for this card!

Here's the front of the card...

So as you can see, how I designed mine, there is no space for you to write anything or sign it.  Here are 2 options to work around that:

  • as a piece of Very Vanilla card stock to the back of the card for your final sentiment and writing/signing the card
  • or... my two Very Vanilla pieces on the inside pop-up, use one of those for your writing/signing

Note:  as I was not able to pre-order the Coordinating Brass Foil Sheets, I used with Gold Foil.  I included the Brass Foil Sheets in my Supply list below

I ended up turning this card into a Father's Day Card.  I did not take a photo for sentimental reasons, but I used words from the "A Good Man" stamp set which was a nice touch.

A Good Man

PicsArt_06-19-05.15.47

Stampin' Up! has released a few of these stamp sets with line-sketch images and I just love them.  "A Good Man" stamp set has some very sweet images and is perfect for the masculine cards we always seem to be seeking. 

My background layer is Smokey Slate and is cut 4-1/8 x 5-3/8 and I randomly stamped the image all over.  I wanted the background image to stand out just a bit so I used my White Watercolor pencil to and color the man's t-shirt.  It was just that little bit of pop I was looking for.  Because of the Whisper White Baker's Twine, I adhered the Smokey Slate card stock piece to the NEW Seaside Spray card stock base with Dimensionals. 

For the Stitched Nested Label Dies, the larger one is 2-3/8 x 4-5/16 and I used it to cut a piece of the New 2019-2021 In-Color 6x6 Designer Series Paper in Seaside Spray.  The smaller label die, used to cut Whisper White card stock, is 2-1/16 x 3-13/16.  I stamped the image with Black Memento Ink and colored with Watercolor pencils and blended with Blender Pens to smooth out. 

The circles are from the Layering Circle Framelit Dies and I chose 1-3/8" and 1-1/8" sizes.  

Hope you liked this masculine card and make sure to check out the New 2019-2021 In-Colors.  They are so pretty.  The 6x6 paper stack is a great way to have all the New In-Color options in designer paper.
