LET'S GET STARTED!

When I saw the Wildlife Wonder Stamp Set, I was thrilled as I could see the images would make fabulous outdoorsy guy cards. The He's the Man Designer Series Paper is the perfect complement for this stamp set. My idea was to make a "tent" card but have it be a little different. The embossed Basic White cardstock with the Timber 3D embossing folder is the perfect background for the bear image that was fussy cut with a mini margin around the image. I used Tear and Tape to affix the Bear Square to the upper and lower portions of the card front,

Extra Hint -

Extra Hint - Put an additional 3 1/4" square of Soft Succelent on the inside of the card front to make the middle section super secure.

Wildlife Wonder Stamp Set

He's The Man Designer Series Paper

CUTTING and ASSEMBLY DIRECTIONS:

Early Espresso Cardstock 7 1/4" x 4 1/4", scored at 5 1/2".

Early Espresso Cardstock 1 3/4" x 4 1/4".

He’s the Man Designer Series Paper (DSP) two pieces - 1 1/2" x 4", adhere one piece to the top front portion of the cardbase, and the other piece to the separate Early Espresso piece.

Soft Succulent Cardstock - two pieces 3 1/4" x 2 3/4".

Basic White Cardstock 3 1/8" x 2 5/8", embossed with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and adhered to one piece of the Soft Succelent Cardstock.

Basic White Cardstock 3 1/4" x 2 3/4" to stamp the bear image from the Wildlife Wonder Stamp Set with Early Espresso Classic Stampin’ Pad Ink, then fussy cut the image out. Raise the bear image up with Dimensionals.

To assemble the card front - Lay the lower piece lined up correctly with the bottom edge of the card. Apply Tear and Tape to the back top and lower edge of the middle "bear" section. Carefully apply the top portion first. Then align up the lower portion and affix bear to this portion.

With Retired- 1-1/4” and 1-3/8” Circle Punches, punch out a larger circle from Early Espresso, and the smaller circle from Basic White. Using Early Espresso ink, stamp the greeting. Adhere layers together and raise up on card front with dimensionals.

Add two Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to the lower left corner of the Bear Section.

With the Soft Succulent Classic Stampin’ Pad, stamp the greeting on the inner layer of Basic White Cardstock 4" x 5 1/4". Affix to inner card.

Adhere the extra piece of Soft Succulent to the back of the bear section so the card front is stronger and looks finished on the inside. 

Basic White Medium Envelopes with a matching envelope flap from the DSP cut 2 3/8" x 6".

All done, your favorite guy is going to love receiving this masculine Birthday Card for their special day!

Big Square Layered Masculine Birthday Card using Stampin' Up! Products Galore! A Labor of Love!

 I discovered I hadn't shared some family birthday cards I made this past spring. I thought you might enjoy seeing them. This one my son-in-law received. 

This layout was a math calculation but I've got the numbers for you to make it easy!

Start with a Thick Basic White cardbase cut at 5-1/4" x 10-1/2". Score at 5-1/4"

There will be an imaginary grid that you will work within at 1-3/4" intervals.

Dimensions:

The Night of Navy foil is 5-1/8" square.

9 pieces of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper 1-9/16" square.

9 pieces of Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper (DSP) 1-5/16" sqaure

 8 pieces of Early Espresso cardstock die cut with Stitch Shape Dies smallest circle 

8 pieces of Granny Apple Green cardstock die cut with 1-1/8" Layering Circles Dies

1 piece of Night of Navy Foil for the Playful Alphabet Letters dies 1-1/4" x 7"

Center Tag consists of Granny Apple Green cut 1-15/16" x 1-3/8"

Night of Navy Foil 1-3/4" x 1-1/4"

Basic White 1-9/16" x 1-1/8"

Stamped with Early Espresso Ink and the Biggest Wishes Stamp set "Happy"

The Letter Circles and center tag are raised up on Dimensionals.

I happened to have a 5-1/2" square white envelope so it all worked out perfectly. 

Decorated the exterior envelope flap with more Ice Cream Corner DSP 5-3/4" x 3".

A cute idea for the inner card using more of the Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper with fussy cut out popsicles layered on top of each other. !" x 5-1/4" strip.

More of the Night of Navy foil cut 1-1/4" x 3" for birthday number.

My son-in-law loved his card!

He's The Man Birthday Card for Beer Loving Guys

When I was looking at the He's the Man Suite, I saw this "Cheers for all your Years" die cut and said to myself, my son would love this card! Since he loves his beer!

That is what is so great about the He's the Man 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper with all the great die cuts Stampin' Up! has included - there are saying for birthdays, Father's Day, campers, hikers, barbecuers, car lovers, and more.

The short list of products used in this card were Early Espresso cardstock, He's the Man 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, 2" circle punch, Paper Trimmer, Stampin' Seal, Glue Dots, and Basic White Envelope and cardstock for the inner card liner. 

In case you missed the Designer Series Paper photos from yesterday's post, here's a couple different photos. Doesn't this paper look fun to work with? I can't wait to start designing with the matching stamp set real soon!

This great suite will be available on May 3, 2022 when the new 2022-23 Stampin' Up! goes live. These products will be available to order through my online store at that time.
