M is for Masculine

Welcome to my ABC Card Series! Throughout this series I’ll be sharing a variety of cards for every occasion from A to Z! It seems many people struggle with masculine cards. The key is to keep it clean.

Stampin Up! Masculine Birthday card idea using Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper and Sailing Home Stamp Set - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

The Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper is perfect for masculine cards! I like so many of the prints in this pack I had a hard time deciding which ones to use! I used 3 different prints and love how they coordinate so well.

This card is any easy formula to duplicate! You can change the DSP and use it for so many different cards! Here’s the measurements:

  • Card Base: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Whisper White scored at 4 1/4
  • DSP Layer: 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
  • Center Panel: 4 x 2 3/4 Balmy Blue
  • Panel Pieces: 1 5/8 x 2 1/2 Whisper White, 1 x 2 DSP, 1 3/8 x 2 DSP

I stamped the sailboat from the Sailing Home Stamp Set and cut it out with the coordinating Smooth Sailing Dies. These dies work with the High Tide Stamp Set too which gives you a great bang for your buck! You can purchase the dies and stamp set as a bundle and save 10%!

The lighthouse would work in place of the sailboat or you could stamp and cut the anchor.  So many possibilities!!! I love being on the ocean so I had to have the whole Come Sail Away Suite! I added the anchor from the Sail Away Trinkets along with the coordinating Baker’s Twine.

The sentiment I used is from the Well Said Stamp Set.  This set is so versatile! It has sentiments for every occasion and has sentiments for the inside too! It also has coordinating word dies you can use for even more versatility and creative fun! I absolutely love these! (Be sure to click on the link at the bottom of this post to view in my online store.  You’ll want to add these to your cart if you don’t already own them!)

I just got back from spending 3 weeks in Massachusetts.  I grew up spending the summers on Cape Cod so I look forward to going “home” in July.  We had a wonderful time with family and friends and enjoyed sailing, seafood, salt air, lots of laughs and plenty of family games.  I colored my boat to look like this famous family’s sailboat we passed in the harbor.  Can you guess the family it belongs to? (Unfortunately it’s not mine!)

I used Night of Navy and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends to color the sailboat. I also stamped my envelope with the smaller sailboat in the set.

L is for Love

Welcome to my ABC Card Series! Throughout this series I’ll be sharing a variety of cards for every occasion from A to Z! There are so many reasons to celebrate Love….a wedding, anniversary, new baby, family member, etc. Today’s card is one I made for my husband.  We celebrated our anniversary earlier this month with our children and family.

Stampin Up Love or Anniversary card idea with Well Written and Stitched Be Mine Dies - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

I used the Meant to Be Stamp Set, the Stitched Be Mine and Well Written Dies along with the DSP from Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper. The sentiment I chose was perfect!

There are other great sentiments and a variety of hearts in this stamp set too!

Stampin Up Meant to Be Stamp Set - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

These sentiments can be used throughout the year. They coordinate with the Stitched Be Mine Dies which are so versatile for many different cards!

D is for Dad

Welcome to my ABC Card Series! I’m looking forward to sharing a variety of cards for every occasion from A to Z! With Father’s Day just around the corner, it’s a good time to be making cards for Dads.

Stampin' Up! Sailing Home and Well Said Father's Day card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

The NEW Come Sail Away Suite is perfect for making masculine themed cards! I combined the Sailing Home Stamp Set with the High Tide Stamp Set for this nautical lighthouse card.  Our family loves to visit lighthouses around the world so this is the perfect card for my daughter to give her dad for Father’s Day.  She loved the nautical knot in the stamp set but wanted to create her own with twine.  I had some retired Kraft Rope Trim in my stash which she though looked great. (I have to agree with her!)

Stampin' Up! Sailing Home and Well Said Father's Day card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

The knot is easy to make with 2 pieces of trim.  Make 2 loops then thread one piece under the other loop and over the ends just like it looks in the stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Sailing Home Stamp Set - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

This stamp set has coordinating dies.  Even though I didn’t use them on today’s card I did purchase this set as a bundle and saved 10%! The products in this suite are some of my favorites in the new annual catalog.  You can Click HERE to check out everything in the Come Sail Away Suite.

Stampin Up Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

I used a 1 1/2 x 5 1/4 strip of Designer Series Paper to stamp my sentiment from the Well Said Stamp Set (You will want to purchase this stamp set as a bundle and save 10% so you can combine many different word dies and sentiments!). I added a thin layer of Crumb Cake cardstock and adhered it to the Seaside Spray embossed cardstock. The images are stamped on Whisper White cardstock and cut with the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies. Add the knot trim and secure on the back before adhering to the Navy cardstock base.  The compass was stamped off once in crumb cake ink on crumb cake cardstock and cut out with the Layering Circles Framelits Dies.  It is layered with a 1 1/2″ punched circle in navy and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Adding Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap ties it all together!
