Good Colour Combo for Masculine Cards – Stamptastic Friends’ Blog Hop April ’23…

The theme for this month’s blog hop is ‘Cards for Men’ so I thought I would share a good colour combo for masculine cards, as I think colour is one of the most important things when making those difficult cards for the special guys in our life. The Stamptastic Friends are a wonderful group of Demonstrators who come together every month to bring you the very best of Stampin’ Up! Please do have a hop around the rest of the team’s posts using the links at the bottom of the page. For my card today, I decided to work with […]

Masculine Themed Nature Card – Creativity Abounds Blog Hop May ’23…

This month’s hop is all about the new 2023 – 2025 In Colors, and I wanted to share how I used two of them to make this masculine themed nature card, perfect for a special guy’s birthday, or even for Father’s Day (18th June in the UK). I just LOVE the new colour Copper Clay and couldn’t wait to colour the tree trunk of this card in, making it look just like an American Redwood. One of my earliest memories of childhood is of a gigantic American Redwood tree that was on the way from our house to my school, […]

How to Make a Masculine Themed Ocean Card…

Next month is Father’s Day here in the UK, so this month is focussing somewhat on cards for men, and here I show you how to make a masculine themed ocean card using the On the Ocean Bundle from Stampin’ Up! This is a great set for adults and children alike, and was the perfect set for this ‘For the Men’ blog hop by the Tech 4 Stampers Academy. I find creating cards for me quite a challenge, as I know a lot of you do, too, so I tend to start with a stamp set and then straight away […]

How to Make a Pull Tab Card – Creativity Abounds Blog Hop Jan ’23…

So, I may have gone a little rogue today, as the theme for this month’s hop is actually ‘fancy fold’ cards, but I had an idea in my head that wouldn’t go away, so I decided to share how to make a pull tab card instead. It’s kind of like a fancy-fold, right? The Creativity Abounds Blog Hop Team are a team of global demonstrators who come together twice a month to share the very best of Stampin’ Up! with you all, once to create tutorials and once to share our inspiration in blog hops like this one. I must […]

Handmade Cards for Men – Creativity Abounds Blog Hop June ’21 …

It’s Father’s Day here in the UK this month, so what better month to have a handmade cards for men theme. The Creativity Abounds Blog Hop Team have got lots of masculine inspired makes for you to really give you some inspiration for this occasion, but the ideas can also be used for Birthdays, Congratulations or other occasions too. I find making cards for men a challenge, but I think one of the keys is to have a good masculine themed stamp set, just like the Vintage Tools set that I am using here today. This set is filled with […]

How to make a Valentine’s Day Card for Men…

I wanted to share an idea for how to make a Valentine’s Day card for men with you today, because we are steaming through February and the big day is nearly upon us already. These can be tricky if you don’t want the whole pinks and reds, flowers and hearts, but I don’t think that you need to over emphasize these things, here I have just stuck to my boyfriend’s favourite colours and themes and went with a card based around that instead. This card was what I would call a happy accident, I was actually playing around with a […]
