Last week's Premiere featured two masculine birthday cards with the new Stampin' Up! Here's the Man Suite. You will love this group of products and if you struggle with masculine-themed cards, this is for you!

The die-cuts in the He's The Man 12" X 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper [159068] are fantastic for making quick cards!  It was hard to stop creating once getting started with these.

Here's the recording of the video from the Premiere.

Masculine Birthday Cards with Stampin' Up! He's the Man

Lisa's Inklings:
-For the diagonal cut on the He's The Man 12" X 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper [159068], upper left to the lower right of two prints.  It's easiest if one of the prints does not have specific directionality.
-For the fun fold, cut your card stock 4-1/4 x 11.  Score at 5-1/2 and cut 3" off of what will be the front of the card.

Four dies were used on the card above. The two Crushed Curry Cardstock [131199] banners are cut with one die!

Keep in mind that you don't always have to stamp on neutral card stock.  On this card, Early Espresso Classic Stampin' Pad [147114] was used on Soft Succulent 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [155776].

The inside of the card has a simple strip of leftover designer paper on a Basic White Cardstock [159276] layer.

What an easy fun fold card!  Just change the orientation of a piece cut from the front.

The card front covers the inside layer of the card.  Here, two scrap strips of patterned paper were used on the Basic White piece.

This sentiment could be used for a birthday card, congratulatory card, or graduation card.  There is no sentiment stamped on the inside so that it can be customized later for the occasion.

Here are the supplies used for these cards...

• He's All That Bundle (English) [159079]
• Cajun Craze 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [119684]

Here's a birthday card made with the Artfully Layered Bundle and a vellum tip.  The summery, tropical feel of this card is nice for late spring and summer birthdays here in North America.

When using vellum, you have to be a little sneaky with your adhesive so that it doesn't show through the other side.  In this short video on YouTube, you can see how the placement of the greenery hides the adhesive.

The Stampin' Up! Hello Ladybug Bundle (English) [157699] is a stamp set and punch bundle used to make the birthday card seen here. This card was one created in my latest YouTube Premiere.  The red and black ladybug looks great with this buffalo check print from the DSP.

Say Happy Birthday with this springtime card featuring the Stampin' Up! Daffodil Daydream Bundle.  The white card base really makes those daffodils stand out and give the card a fresh clean look.

Here are the details for this birthday card...

• Cut Basic White Cardstock [159276] card base at 5 1/2” x 8 1/2” and score at 4 1/4”.

• Cut Ornate Layers Dies [152726] piece in basic white.
• Add dimensionals to back and adhere to card base front.

• Glue all those pieces together to make your daffodils.
• Glue these to the stems and adhere to the card front as shown.

• Stamp your sentiment from the Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set (English) [151534] and use the label die from the Meadow Dies [155852]to cut out.

Clean & Simple Birthday Card

Lisa's Inklings:

• Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [159276] is cut 3 x 4 for the stamped and colored image and 4 x 5-1/4 for inside of card.
• The Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [159276] for the inside of the card gives it a more polished and finished look.

Join Lisa this evening for a YouTube Premiere with two fun fold pocket card projects!  These designs will work with patterned paper and stamps that you have on hand!

Go there now to set a reminder!

7 PM ET, 6 PM CT, 5 PM MT, 4 PM PT

Today's project is a simple cardmaking layout with the Stampin' Up! Sale-A-Bration stamp set, Driving By.  When you have a lot of cards to make of the same design, a simple layout is always the way to go.  This one uses just a small piece of designer paper but really makes a statement to set off the stamped and colored image.

The textured background layer anchors it all to the card base.   Using a dry embossed piece such as this one turns a smooth card stock layer into a dramatic piece.  The Tasteful Textile 3 D Embossing Folder [152718] is a good basic one to have since it fits with just about any card style.

Lisa's Inklings:

• The base is Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Thick Cardstock [159229] cut 4-1/4 x 11 and scored at 5-1/2.
• The textured Highland Heather 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [146986] is cut 4 x 5-1/4 and you will need another piece for the sentiment...cut the strip 5/8" x 5 and trim down.
• The Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [159276] is cut 2-1/2 x 4  for the main image.
• The Sweet Talk 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper [157616] is cut 1-1/2 x 2-1/2.

You can see the video with this card in last week's YouTube Premiere HERE.

Below is the listing of supplies used for this Simple Cardmaking Layout.

This little otter from the Awesome Otters Cling Stamp Set (English) [158087] was standing in just the right position to hold a mini banner for a birthday card.

This cute little set is FREE with a $50 purchase during Stampin' Up! Sale-A-Bration which continues through the end of February.

This birthday card would be cute for anyone but don't you know that the littles would really love it!  Here's a Valentine with this little character that they would really love!

I recorded a quick video so you could see how to make a card like this one. 

Birthday Card with a Mini Banner

Lisa's Inklings:

• Even if you don't have a little character to "hold" your banner, you can make one to attach to the top layer of your card.  Choose your designer paper layer so your banner will stand out and not be competing with the pattern.
• It's best to use a very thin ribbon, twine, or Linen Thread [104199] as seen here for your banner.
• Your banner pieces could also be cut pieces of card stock instead of a sentiment.

Here are the supplies used for this card.  Just click the links to be taken to my Online Store.  I appreciate you and your support of my small business!

We are always in need of birthday cards, right? I hope you will try this idea with a mini banner on your next birthday card.

Today's project is a birthday card made with the Stampin' Up! Friendly Hello Bundle!  You can earn this beautiful stamp set and coordinating designer paper for FREE with your qualifying order through February 28, 2022.

This combo of colors and images brings springtime into your heart even if it is freezing outside!  This one is going to someone special and I know she will love it!

Here's another 2021 Stampin' Up! Countdown to Christmas project with a DIY Gift Box.  It is my hope that these projects that have been shared this week will make things just a bit easier for you.  If you've missed the other projects, you can catch those at these links below:

Project #1

Project #2

Project #3

Project #4

I don't know about you but many times I am scurrying around looking for a box.  Boxes are just too hard to store but these are fun to make and will work for many gifts. This is a great pattern to keep on hand and it is super simple.  It is 6" square and 3" deep.  You could even fold an adult-size t-shirt to fit inside.

Here's the video then you will want to "dig through" all that 12 x 12 paper that you have been saving ;) to create these!

Stampin' Up! Countdown to Christmas 2021- DIY Gift Box

Lisa's Inklings:

• You will need two pieces of 12 x 12 paper. 
• Score both at 3" on all 4 sides.
• Cut two tabs off one side of the top as shown in the video.
• Adhere the one long tab to the outside of the back of the box bottom. (see video)
• Tie with ribbon and add a tag!

If you can use this idea and do make one of these boxes, leave a comment below and let me know!

I hope to be back next Monday and Tuesday with a couple of ideas for you!  Thanks for tuning in for the fifth in my series of Stampin' Up! Countdown to Christmas 2021 with this DIY Gift Box.

This week's Premiere project from my YouTube channel is a double angled pocket fun fold video tutorial with some beautiful designer paper.  I have been waiting for what seems like "forever" to get my hands on some of this Expressions In Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper [155464].  Now that it's available, I added it to my stash (a little) to have on hand for some special projects.

This card project is another fun fold that really highlights beautiful patterned paper.  These two will be birthday cards for family and friends and hope to make one with more of a masculine feel soon.

Here is the recording of the Premiere.  If you missed this event on YouTube, set a reminder to check in to my channel every Thursday evening at 7 PM ET, 6 PM CT, 5 PM MT, and 4 PM PT.

--->Here is the project template for you to download...Doubled Angle Pocket Fun Fold.

Isn't this a fun card!  Now it's time for you to make this double angled pocket fold and send it to someone special!

Today we are taking a look at a cardmaking color trend that's floating around the world of paper crafting; using neutrals with a spot of color.

Notice that I didn't use the term "pop of color"?  With this trend, I've noticed subdued colors rather than bright or bold colors.  In Stampin' Up! terms, these would include colors from our Subtles or Neutrals Color Collections.  I've enjoyed challenging myself to follow this trend and hope you will be inspired to do so after seeing this video and these samples.

This video was a Premiere video on YouTube which is a series that I hope you will watch every Thursday evening at 6 PM Central.  These videos will vary in length from a few minutes to an hour and will remain on YouTube if you aren't able to join us for the Premiere.  However, if you are able to join at the Premiere time, you can participate in the LIVE chat if you are signed in to your Google or Gmail account.

If you missed it on YouTube, here's the video!

Lisa's Inklings for Card #1:

• Basic Black Cardstock [121045] card base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 plus you'll need a 2-1/8 x 2-1/8" square and about 3 x 4 for stamping and embossing.
• Petal Pink Cardstock [146985] layer is cut 4-1/8 x 5-3/8.
• The black and white print from the Simply Elegant Specialty Designer Series Paper [155761] is cut 4 x 5-1/4.

Thanks for tuning in today!  Now it's time for you to try this birthday gift card holder and let me know if you do!

Today's cardmaking project features a birthday card made with another favorite that carried over into the new Stampin' Up! Catalog, Very Versailles.

The images in this set have so much versatility and don't you love the "Have A Beautiful Day" as a birthday greeting?  Here's another card made with Very Versailles that I think you'll enjoy.

Here's the step-by-step how-to followed by the supplies used for this birthday card with Stampin' Up! Very Versailles.

Measurements:
Card Base: Pear Pizzazz Cardstock 11” x 4-1/4”. Score and fold at 5-1/2”
Cardstock #2: Basic White Cardstock 5-1/4” x 4”
Designer Paper: In Good Taste Designer Paper 5” x 3-3/4”
Cardstock #3: Basic White Cardstock 3-1/4” x 3-1/4”
Designer Paper: In Good Taste Designer Paper 3” x 3”

Instructions:
-Glue Basic White Cardstock to Pear Pizzazz Card Base.
-Glue the In Good Taste Designer Paper to card front.
-Using the smallest piece of designer paper, stamp the leaf image to the left and bottom using Pear Pizzazz Ink. -Stamp the script image to fill in the background around the leaves using Early Espresso Ink. Glue to the smallest -Basic White Cardstock layer. Punch a hole in both corners at the top with the handheld punch. Set aside.
-Stamp the medallion image on a scrap piece of Seaside Spray Cardstock using Early Espresso Ink. Cut the shape with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. Glue to the center of the stamped layer using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
-Stamp the sentiment on a scrap piece of Basic White Cardstock. Cut with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. Glue to the center of the medallion layer using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
-Tie Linen thread at the top of the stamped layer through the holes to create a hanging sign. It’s easiest if you tie the left side into a bow and tie the right side into a knot. Add the two ribbons by tying into knots on the right through the Linen Thread. Trim the ends into angles.
-Glue sign layer to card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
-Add a Gold Glitter Enamel Dot to hang the sign by the Linen Thread by adding two layers of Mini Glue Dots under the enamel dot so it is elevated.
