Male Birthday Card using Nailed It! from Stampin’ Up!

Ok, so last week (before I headed to Amsterdam) I sat in my crafty office looking around, thinking “there is a card around here somewhere that I haven’t blogged yet” but I couldn’t find it. I photograph everything I make, but I had nothing in my photo files, nothing lying around the office…. but I knew I had made something that I hadn’t shared with you guys yet. I packed my suitcase, tidied up, and sat down on the sofa to relax with James before I went away…. and there it was…. James’ birthday card! I had made it in such a hurry that I hadn’t photographed it, no wonder I couldn’t find it!

So, I thought I’d share it today instead. But I have another confession to make…. this stamp set (Nailed It!) is on the Retiring List…. and the matching dies have already sold out! Things move quickly off that list, so please, I would HATE for you to miss something that you love, go and check out what is left …. I’ll wait here while you pop an order in don’t worry……

Right, ordered, got your favourites? Great!

There is one thing on this card that is carrying forward into the new catalogue…. that fabulous embossing folder, don’t you just love it?! I am so pleased to have another 12 months to play with it. Actually I am so excited about this new catalogue, I cannot wait to show you all the goodies that are inside! (Although you can see it now if you join Stampin’ Up! with me, just ask me how!)

Nailed It in Bermuda Bay…

Mans card with tools using the Nailed It Bundle from Stampin' Up! to make an I'm Sorry Card

Tuesday, now, I normally share my Global Design Project entry for the week on a Tuesday, and I had intended to do that this week…. except my nice early finish from work turned into getting home at 7PM and so getting a blog post up for today was more important! however, I intend to make and share my entry on Thursday….

I am loving cutting tools using the Nailed It bundle at the moment… and don’t get me started on that paper <3 I just cannot get enough! Which is good really because with my crazy busy month I am a little behind on designing the cards for this month’s Online Card Class! I will share some sneaky peaks with you on Social Media over the weekend.

You can find out what is included in my March Online Card Class HERE, and I would LOVE to see you in class this month. Don’t forget that you class kit also includes a FREE Sale-a-bration item in addition to you fabulous other crafty goodies, exclusive videos and written instructions!

This card is put together in a similar way to the one I made a few weeks ago for Make It Monday (there’s a video for that one too!). The tools are stamped in Basic Grey onto Very Vanilla (to match the DSP!) and then coloured using the Basic Grey and Bermuda Bay watercolour pencils, blended with a blender pen to smooth out the colour. Then the card is finished with a few threads from a length of Bermuda Bay Thick Bakers Twine and some loops of Silver Metallic Thread.

Make It Monday | Guys Birthday Card using the Nailed It Bundle

Make It Monday Male Birthday Card using Nailed It From Stampin' Up! UK

Welcome back to Make It Monday! I LOVE making these videos, I hope you enjoy watching them too. This week I thought I would share a male birthday card I made recently for my Father-In-Law.

Male birthday cards can be tricky, especially when you’re like me and most of your stamp collection seams to be flowers or butterflies! I prefer a ‘pretty’ style, and so guy cards can be a challenge, however, Stampin’ Up! have made guy cards super easy with the Nailed It bundle. Not only does it include a selection of tool (no I cannot name them, my husband will be very disappointed in me!) but handy extras like screws, and a great hexagon. I LOVE Stampin’ Up! bundles, they come with the stamp and the coordinating die set, and when you buy the bundle (rather than the separate items) you save 10% ! Win Win!

The Nailed It bundle also coordinates with some other great items in the Spring Summer catalogue; I am having heaps of fun with the Hexagon Dynamic Embossing folder, and I might have to grab a second pack of the Urban Underground Designer Series Paper! I have recently received a pack of the Urban Underground embellishments too, and I cannot wait to get those on a card!

Question of the Day: What is your favourite method of tackling a Men’s card?

I try and find a theme; tools, cars, or failing that a cool embossing folder and a big sentiment! anything to get back to making pretty cards with flowers and butterflies!

Men’s Cards | Nailed It!

Men's birthday card using Nailed It from Stampin' Up! UK

My goodness, yesterday was busy here on the blog. I was at work, and my phone would not stop buzzing, took me til after teatime to get to work out what was going on…. turns out that THIS CARD I posted last week had won the Global Design Project Challenge for last week. I am totally stunned! I am hoping to get a card made for the challenge this week, but its not going to be today

I will of course admit that this card is CASE’d from the insanely talented Rochelle Blok from Australia.

I made this card for my father-in-law’s birthday back in December. He is always a challenge to make a card for, not only because he is a man, but he also has quite specific interests – he’s a VW car enthusiast, classic campervan’s in particular, but we don’t have anything like that in the catalogue, so I have to revert to ‘manly’ stamps! Except when I spotted this stamp and die bundle in the catalogue, I immediately thought of David!

The ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment is taken from the Sale-a-bration stamp set Designer Tee. You can get this for FREE when you spend £45, or you buy the Nailed It bundle in wood-mount!

The card itself is fairly simple. The hammer and saw are stamped in Basic Grey, and coloured using the fabulous new Watercolour Pencils, and the back ground is the new Hexagon Embossing Folder.

Global Design Project 068 | Nailed It!

Mans Card using Nailed It by Stampin' Up! UK for the Global Design Project 068

Well Hello there! It has been so long since I took part in the Global Design Project. I LOVE doing this challenge every week, but the back end of last year was so crazy I haven’t had chance to join in for ages! However, that is going to change, one of my many New Years Resolutions this year is to take part in the GDP each week (made much easier by the fact that I don’t often have to work a Monday!)

This weeks challenge is to CASE the designer. I love this card by Jess Williams, and chose to use both the layout and the colour combination for my card.

I chose to use the awesome new stamp set, Nailed It, for this card. Guy cards are always tricky, but there are some really great options for guys in the new Spring Summer catalogue (which launches tomorrow!! So excited!). The hammers are both coloured using the great new Watercolour Pencils, LOVE them! I have been trying them out on a heap of different types of card stock and so far haven’t come across one that they don’t work on!

I have to say too I had such a drama getting this post up today. I got called into work on Sunday night to cover the night shift and so making this card was an interestingly sleepy experience yesterday afternoon, but then to make it even worse when I went to photograph it I discovered that my lighting set up has totally died! I have to use artificial lights to photograph my projects at this time of year, and so once I have finished writing up this post I’m off to find another lamp holder for my photography light bulb! I have to thank my lovely husband who stood holding my lights to allow me to take the photos for today’s post, and I really hope that I don’t have to call on his lamp holding services again too soon!

Thanks so much for checking out my little blog today, and I hope that you check back tomorrow for the launch of the Spring Summer catalogue and the start of Sale-a-bration!
