masculine cards

Day 30 of 30 Days of the New Catalog!

by
Vintage Tools stamp set & Split Card Texture Dies

We made it! 30 Days of Stampin’ Up!’s new Annual Catalog. Have you enjoyed our 30 Days of the New Catalog? I know I have. I’ve loved looking for all of the samples and getting inspired by fellow crafters.

For our final day I am going to share two products with you that were shared on the same card. Thank you Cindy Brumbaugh for this fun masculine card!

The stamp set used on this card is the Vintage Tools stamp set found on page 87 of Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog. The this stamp set includes 5 sentiments and 7 tools. This is another item that is already on the shelf in my craft room. My husband is quite handy and he loves to build things so this set is perfect!

The other product used is the Split Card Textures Dies found on page 174 of the catalog. I will admit that these dies didn’t do anything for me when I first saw them. Of course, now that I’ve seen so many fabulous cards made with them I’m going to have to add them to my wish list.

There are two dies in this set. The first one is the grid-like pattern you can see on this card. The second one is more of a floral pattern. If you look at Cindy’s card in the photo above, the entire Smoky Slate piece of cardstock was die cut with the Split Texture die. These dies will add a lot of interest to any project!

That’s it for our 30 Days of the New Catalog! Leave me a comment below if you’ve enjoyed the projects. Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping.

30 Days of the New Catalog – Day 28

by
Stampin’ Up! Rugged Icon Dies

For Day 28 of our 30 Days of the New Catalog I am sharing the product that was one of the very first things I had to have from this catalog. The Rugged Icon Dies.

There are 5 dies in this set and I love them all! My favorite is the mountain scene that you see here. I do live in Colorado! 🙂

Thank you to Laurie Seki for sharing this card. Laurie die-cut this mountain scene several times in different colors so she could insert the colored pieces in the negative space of the scene die-cut from black.

The other images that you can find in the die set is a guitar outline, an outline of a beard (too fun!), a drill outline and a fishing rod outline.

The fishing rod is another favorite of mine since we do have the family cabin and do a lot of fishing while we are there. I know I’ll be making a lot of cards using this die.

This die set is already in my craft room waiting for me so it doesn’t need to go on my wish list. Will it be on your wish list? Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping.

Day 2! 30 Days of the New Catalog!

You can never have enough masculine cards on hand. Stampin’ Up!’s 2022-2023 Annual Catalog has a lot of options for making masculine cards.

Yesterday I shared the He’s The Man Suite of products with you and today I am sharing the Brewed For You Bundle of products. If you know someone who enjoys beer this is the perfect bundle. You could even make a wine glass with the stemmed glass if you’d like.

Thank you to Michelle Quinno for sharing this fun card. It highlights both the stamp set and the dies. I love how she used vellum for the glasses. Don’t you love the foam on the glasses? The foam on both glasses are die cuts.

Such a fun and easy card for Day 2 of 30 Days of the New Catalog. I wonder what’s in store for Day 3? 🙂

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

30 Days of the Annual Catalog – Day 1!

Hello! I’ve been away from my blog for a little bit and it’s time to get back to it. I’m actually away from craft room which is why you haven’t heard from lately. I’m in Minnesota with my parents as my mom has some health issues.

I want to share ideas with you using the products in Stampin’ Up!’s new annual catalog but since I’m away from my craft room, I’m going to share projects that other demonstrators/crafters have shared online.

I think it’s a great solution for both you and me. We both get to see these fabulous new products and how to use them.

The first product(s) I want to share with you is the He’s The Man Suite that can found on pages 78-79 of the catalog. Father’s Day is coming up fast so I thought this masculine suite would be perfect to share with you today.

One of the fun things included in this suite of products is the He’s The Man Specialty Designer Series Paper. It’s a specialty pack because it includes two sheets of die cuts that coordinate perfectly with the other products!

A big thank you to Ginny Harrell for designing this fun card and using so many items in the suite. The fun frame that Ginny used on the front of the card is die cut using the Fabulous Frames Dies found on page 171 of the catalog.

I hope you’ve enjoyed the first of my 30 Days of the New Annual Catalog! Come back tomorrow for Day #2!

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
