A Man's Card

Do any of you ever find it difficult to pick out a manly card?  I'm always looking for ways to make a masculine card.  Well I found an idea......I used the "Spiced Cake" Suite DSP and the stamp set "Gently Falling" in the colors early expresso and crumb cake.  I think it is a great balance of simple beauty and masculinity.

Can anyone tell that I was hungry when I was creating these cards???  LOL. 

I love the new idea book and catalog!!  With these two cards I used the new pennant punch and the stamp set "Pennant Parade".  They are so versatile and can really be used in so many ways.  I also, of course, had to use my "Crazy for Cupcakes" stamp set.  It really does make you want to go out and buy some cupcakes to eat!!  If you don't have these stamp sets yet now is a perfect time to purchase them.  I am offering my customers a 20% discount on the product of their choice out of the new catty.  Please contact me or visit my website http://www.kristendutko-grove.stampinup.net/ if you want to take advantage of this great deal!

Happy Stamping and Creating:)

Thank god for the warm beautiful weather we are having......the kids have been playing outside giving me a little time to get some stamping done:)  It has been wonderful!

I have been concentrating on using products from the new summer mini catty.  With this card I used the "Bold Blossom" stamp set and the new triple layer punch.

I love the new triple layer punch  it is wonderful and very versatile.  I used the "Blossom Bouquet" punch for this card.  I found it very easy to use.

Since this is my new favorite punch I am offering it @ 20% OFF!!!!!!!!!  That's right....the punch will cost you $19.16 (plus tax and s/h).  If you are interested in this great deal please contact me for your order.

I have been busy making birthday invitations for my son Tristan and my dad.  They both have parties coming up and I wanted to hand make their invites.  I don't always have the time to make invitations, but I made it a point since becoming a demonstrator to hand make projects as much as possible.  I also plan on making their thank you cards and a party favor using the pillow box Big Shot die (I will post when finished):)  It is so nice to be able to make their invitations.  I love to make the cards and feel that each recipient will appreciate my work:)  And it's an excuse to stamp!!  The sailboat card is for my father and the bashful blue birthday invite is for my son.  I used the "Dot Invitation" stamp set for both cards.  I also embossed both cards using the Big Shot.  Hope you like them:)

Spring is definitely in the air and it makes me want to stamp even more!!!  If that's even possible:)  I have been really into using SU fabric lately and only hope to see more selections in the new IB&C coming out in July.  It could be something like using the big shot and making an apron or purse...which I have, of course.  Or something created by a few pieces and making a simple and fantastic card.  I recently made a simple card that reminded me of spring and of course gave it a splash of vintage.  The fabric added so much to the card.  I highly recommend trying fabric if you haven't already.  You don't have to be a master at sewing to use it which is the great thing.  I'll share a little secret with you, the apron and purse where made for me by other people:)  Here is the card I made with some of the springtime fabric out of the occassions mini.  I love using it and all you need is a pair of scissors!!!  Have a great day and happy stamping and creating:)
