Dapper Day

 With Fathers Day fast approaching I thought I would post some cards from my recent Masculine card workshop featuring the recently retired True Gentleman product suite from Stampin Up.  The background paper is from the  True Gentleman DSP and the sentiment is from the Truly Tailored stamp set.  This is a product suite I wish could have stuck around because it is perfect for masculine cards.

Double Daisy Delight

 I love the clean and simple look of today’s card.  Cammie used her master brayering skills to create the variegated wide stripe to anchor the perfect and realistic daisies. The daisies were punched using the daisy punch #143713 and the 3/4 inch circle punch #119873.  The sentiment is from the retired Tin of Cards stamp set but any sentiment would do.

Petal Passion

I love to create cards using the Stampin Up Memories and More Card Packs.  The card backs are intended for use in scrapbooks but they also make perfect gift tags and cards and other fun crafting projects.  Today’s cards are the from the sold out Petal Passions Memories and More Card Pack. I colored the flowers with my Copic markers and added them to a card base and voila hand made card is complete!

Perfect Pear

 Soon I will have to say good bye to the Tutti-Frutti DSP #145606 and the coordinating Fruit Basket #145833 since they will be going away when the Stampin Up Occasions catalog ends.  I have truly enjoyed the DSP and will miss it since it won’t be carried over in the new Stampin Up catalog.

Diamond in the Rough

 This card is absolutely stunning features the direct to paper technique for the background.  Cammie made the pile of coal using black cardstock and white gel pen.  She added a great big diamond using Dazzling Diamond Glimmer paper and and the Eclectic Layers Thinlits #143774 and added the silver embossed sentiment from the You’re Priceless #143760 stamp set.

Peek a Boo Heart

 For today’s card, I wanted to showcase the beautiful Painted with Love DSP #145580 so I decided to add a window using the Heart Framelits so that I could show off a coordinating pattern from the Painted with Love collection. I added a sweet little bow leftover from the the January My Paper Pumpkin kit.

Sealed With a Kiss

 No Valentine is complete without a SWAK and lips.  Today’s Valentine card is another in Cammie’s 2018 collection featuring the retired Stampin Up Sealed with a Kiss Stamp Set.  The sentiment is stamped in the center of the Stitched Shapes Framelits #145372 and the arrow is cut using the retired Love Notes Framelits.
