Simple Handsomely Suited Birthday Card

I recently participated in a swap with some fellow demonstrators. The suggested theme was manly birthday cards. Don't we often need those? I really wanted to use the new Handsomely Suited bundle from the January-June Mini Catalog in making mine. Here's what I came up with:


This layout is one I go to often, but this time I turned it all around. The supplies are simple, and there is just a little bit of die-cutting involved. Check out the video below for hints on how to put it together. 

Here are the measurements:
Basic White Thick cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored along the 8-1/2" side at 4-1/4"
Basic Gray cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4"
Night of Navy cardstock: scrap piece big enough to stamp and cut one tie
Basic White cardstock: scrap big enough to stamp and punch out greeting using the Label Me Pretty punch
Well Suited Designer Series Papers: 3 coordinating pieces, each cut 1-1/4" x 3-3/8"; and another piece to put on the inside cut at 1/2" x 4"
Basic Black cardstock: scrap big enough to cut out buttons using the buttons die included in the die set

Approaching Perfection Vertical Easel Card

Recently, I received a wonderful fun-fold card from my friend Boni Montano-Ortiz. It made me think that I could change up the orientation of the card, and the idea would still work. Here's what I came up with:

 



All orders placed through February 28th of $50 or more qualify for one free Sale-A-Bration item. The Flower & Field DSP, and the Approaching Perfection Stamp Set are available only as FREE items during Sale-A-Bration.

Card measurements:

Pool Party: 4-1/4" x 11", score along the 11" side at 2-3/4" & 5-1/2"

Basic White: 4" x 5-1/4"; scrap for greeting a little bigger than 2" x 3-1/4" and a small scrap for the bumper on the inside

Flower & Field DSP: (or any DSP you choose) 4-1/8" x 5-1/4" (cut along the 5-1/4" side at 2-5/8") and another small piece for the bumper on the inside

Just Jade: scrap piece a little bigger than 2-1/2" x 3-3/4"

Basic Black (you could use Basic White): 1-1/2" strip

Here's a video I put together showing how quick this card comes together:

Another Hey Birthday Chick Card

 I've had a difficult time finding my creative mojo lately! To help combat that, I decided to try CASING (copy and share everything) a card from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog from Stampin' Up! I decided on one of the cards from page 72 that used the Stitched With Whimsy Dies. You can see if in the image below:


Here is the card I came up with:


Supply measurements:

Crumb Cake cardstock: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" & scored along the 8-1/2" side at 4-1/4"
Basic White cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4"; 2-5/8" circle (cut using the Layering Circles Dies 2nd largest circle)
Blushing Bride cardstock: 3-13/16" circle (cut using the Layering Circles Dies 2nd largest scallop circle)

All the supplies used are listed in the images below. You can order any of them through my Online Store by clicking on the image.
