Paper Crafting Blog Hop Guy Cards

May 15, 2019May 14, 20194 Comments

I hope you are enjoying our Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators Blog Hop featuring Happy Father’s Day/thinking of you/guy designs. Fellow demonstrators from all over the globe are participating so we have a wide array of fun projects to share with you! You may have arrived from Sandy Ward’s blog. She had a fabulous project!

You will never guess what is on the opposite side of this designer series paper… it’s flowers! Look at the back side of your favorite floral pattern papers. Often, there will be a pattern that is suitable for all occasion designs. This particular pattern is part of the Garden Impressions paper pack.

Use the Oh My Stars embossing folder on the pattern paper for greater visual appeal. Add Twinkle sequin stars to the center of the night of navy stamped stars. Linen thread in the power of 3 is wrapped around a 1 inch banner created with the triple banner punch.

I usually line the inside of the card with whisper white but the bright color did not work the earthy color scheme. Instead, I used the leftover over 1×3 inch dsp piece to decorate the top along with the stamped stars along the side to bring a little of the outside to the inside. Use our paper snips to create a custom banner.

all the supplies used…I already cleaned the stamps;)

Thanks for hopping with us each month. Now click on the next image to zoom to Tracy Held’s blog in Australia and see what fun project she designed.

Here is a list of hoppers in case you get off the trail…

My Paper Crafting Blog hop goes live at 8am tomorrow morning. We will be featuring guy themed cards, you know, the ones you have a hard time designing. Here is my sneak peek of the inside of my card.

If you are local to me, consider attending the May Card Buffet featuring this card and at least 5 others that are all suitable to share with the guys in your life. May Card Buffet details are available by clicking on these words.

Check back tomorrow to see the outside of the card and hop along to the other talented demonstrators too. You will visit the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia without leaving the comfort of your chair!
