Today is the day!!! If you haven't gotten your retiring products yet, you need to go to www.creativemeasures.stampinup.net and place your order before they're all gone. I have only used one retiring product on this card and that is the DSP. Everything else is carrying over to the new catalog which goes LIVE on June 1, 2017.

Hello and welcome to today's post. I have another masculine card for you because I'm on a kick. I used the Brother Scan 'n Cut to create the anchor and a dimensional sticker for the word ME. There's some fun foam under the die cut "You" and that was cut using some DSP. The stamp set I used for the splatters is of course the Gorgeous Grunge set which will be retiring in about a week. I feel all creations should have a little bling so I added some enamel shapes to bring this project all together. Take a look at the project below and let me know what you think.

Hello and welcome to today's post. I'm still creating masculine cards and the one for today is so clean and simple with very few supplies needed. To create this card I used 3 stamp sets (2 of which are retiring/retired), 1 stamp for the background, 1 stamp for the star images, and another stamp set for the sentiment. The Delightful Dijon ink used for the sponging is also retiring but it pairs so well with the Dapper Denim ink of the stars. Check out the project below and let me know what you think. Additional supplies used: Clear blocks, ATG tape runner For the inside of the card I used the same technique from the front of the card to bring it all together. Please visit www.creativemeasures.stampinup.net to get your hands on the products used to create this card, before they are gone. I hope you have enjoyed today's project and will check back often for more inspiration. Thank you for visiting.

Hello and welcome to today's post where I will be sharing a masculine card. I know some of us struggle to make projects without the frills and bling but I think this card could be given to any of the men in our lives. I love the blue and yellow combination and just a little bling with the silver enamel shapes. I also did a little sponging around the focal panel to bring in a little more interest. Take a look at the project below and let me know what you think. Aditional supplies: ATG tape runner, Scotch 3M foam tape and clear blocks 1. Create a card base from Dapper Denim card stock to measures 4 ¼” x 11” and score at 5 ½”. 2. Cut a piece of the DSP to measure 4” x 5 ¼” and adhere to the card front. 3. Using the opposite side of the DSP cut a 2” x 3 11/16” piece using the paper trimmer and then cut a slightly smaller piece of Very Vanilla card stock. Stamp your images on the Very Vanilla piece, sponge the edges and then adhere to the DSP piece. Pop the focal image...

In honor of Throwback Thursday, I have used an old Stampin' Up Sale-A-Bration stamp set and I thought it had the perfect image to use on a Mother's Day card. I loved the image so much that I had to stamp it three times. I used soft ink colors and a DSP that added to the flower theme. The sentiment and flower were colored in Sweet Sugarplum ink, the leaves in Emerald Envy and the butterfly outline was stamped with Smoky Slate ink. Take a look at the project below and let me know what you think. Additional supplies: ATG tape runner, Scotch 3M foam tape, clear blocks Card Recipe: Card Base: 4 ¼ x 5 1/2 Layer : 4 x 5 ¼ Panel : 1 3/8” x 2 7/8” Panel: 1 ¼” x 2 13/16” Panel : 2 9/16” x ½” For the inside of the card I stamped Happy Mother’s Day using Memento Tuxedo black ink. I hope you have enjoyed today's project and will check back often for more inspiration. Thank you for visiting.
