Ok, let's see my sample card ideas using the Well Suited suite. On y go! Let's get stamping.
​
Birthday card idea for a guy with a shirt front, suspenders, and a snappy bowtie. This masculine card idea uses the NEW Well Suited suite from Stampin' Up! and the Approaching Perfection Sale-A-Bration stamp set.

Well Suited to Perfection Card Idea

The Well Suited suite includes the Handsomely Suited stamp set, the Suit and Tie dies, the Well Suited patterned paper, and a twin combo pack in Basic Gray and Night of Navy. You can use the dies to cut out the stamped images or on their own to create a suit front or shirt front. 
For this card, I cut the suspenders from a piece of the paisley patterned paper using the dies. I also added the buckles cut from silver foil. I cut the rectangle for the shirt, the color, and the placket from a piece of checked patterned paper in the suite. I added Basic Gray buttons. The die for the button cuts six buttons at once! Finally, I stamped the bowtie on Whisper White cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored it with Pool Party Stampin' Blends. 

I built the shirt front on a piece of Basic Gray cardstock and then on a Pool Party card base. The sentiment is from the Approaching Perfection stamp set which I got for FREE when I purchased the Well Suited suite. This stamp set has some really fun birthday sayings!
​

Bowtie Birthday Card Idea

I just can't get enough of these bowties! I stamped them repeatedly with Pool Party ink on a piece of Pool Party cardstock which I layered on Basic Gray. I adhered a piece of pin-stripe patterned paper from the Well Suited Designer Series Paper to the Pool Party card base. While the Handsomely Suited stamp set has a happy birthday sentiment, I chose to use the one from the Approaching Perfection stamp set. I stamped in Basic Gray ink on Whisper White and layered it on a piece of Basic Gray cardstock.
Handmade birthday card idea for men using the Handsomely Suited stamp set from Stampin' Up! with a fabulous bowtie and the Nearing Perfection Sale-A-Bration stamp set.

I wrapped a piece of the Basic Gray twine around the Pool Party layer before adhering it to the card front. I tied it in a big loopy bow. Then, I stamped the bowtie with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Whisper White cardstock and colored it with Pool Party ink and cut it with the Suite and Tie dies. I added the bowtie over the bow in the twine using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Fabulous Tie Card design

For my final sample, I stamped one of the two straight ties in the stamp set with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on a piece of Whisper White cardstock. I colored the ties using Stampin' Blends in Pool Party, Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, and Highland Heather. This front panel is layered on a Basic Gray card base. 
Like the other two cards, the sentiment for this card is from the Approaching Perfection stamp set. It says: "So what if you're a year older. You're fabulous!" I stamped it with Memento ink on Whisper White cardstock and layered it on Highland Heather cardstock. I placed a layer of Basic Gray cardstock on the card front and added a twine bow. Then, I adhered the sentiment over the bow using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Guys & Dads - Stampin' Friends May Blog Hop

If you're following the Stampin' Friends Blog Hop, you've reached me from Anne Marie Hile's wonderful blog. I hope after looking at my projects, you'll continue on to Melissa Thomas's and all the way through the rest of the hop. 

This month's theme for the Stampin' Friends Blog Hop is Masculine or My Guy. The Rooted in Nature stamp set from Stampin' Up! has the perfect stamps for some more masculine looking cards, and with Father's Day coming up in a month, it's the perfect time to get started on some gifts for Dad. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Finding gifts for guys always seems to be a challenge, but I know for my guy, I can't go wrong with some beer. (He's pretty easy to please!) So, to make this six-pack extra special, I added some personalized decoration. To go with the six-pack, I created a card to tell him just how wonderful he is to me and the kids. 

For both of these projects, I created my own patterned paper with the different leaf images from the Rooted in Nature stamp set. I started by stamping the tree rings with Crumb Cake ink. I stamped it off first on a piece of scratch paper to make it a little lighter, and then, I stamped it twice on my paper. I stamped these fairly close together all over a piece of 8 1/2" x 11" Very Vanilla cardstock.

After my page was filled with tree rings, I stamped the various leaves in Granny Apple Green, Mellow Moss, Soft Suede, and Crumb Cake inks. I overlapped images and stamped multiple times before re-inking. When creating your own background paper, it is very important to get the images to really cover the page. Since you will be cutting the paper apart into smaller sections, you often need to place the images closer together than you normally would. Once you trim the pieces of cardstock into the sizes you want, you may need to go back and stamp a few more partial images around the edge. 

For the six-pack, I started with an old six-pack holder from our recycling bin. I painted it first with white acrylic craft paint. After two coats of white, I added two additional coats of olive green craft paint. When it was completely dry, I stamped pine tree images using Mossy Meadow ink.

​

I layered a piece of my handmade patterned paper on Granny Apple Green and Mossy Meadow cardstock. I added layered circles of each of these colors as well. On top of that, I added a tree image from the stamp set that I had stamped in Soft Suede ink. I colored over the needles of the tree with a Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blend. Then I fussy cut the tree and adhered it on top of the circles. 

The words were cut with the Well Written dies and stamped with the Well Said stamp set. To create the outline for happy, I traced around the outside of the die on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and very carefully cut just within my pencil mark. Then, I layered the cut "happy" pieces on top of the vanilla piece I had cut. 
Picture
One of the really awesome things about the Nature's Roots dies is that they include leaf dies that only emboss your paper without cutting it. These embossing dies also fit the stamped leaves that can be cut with other dies. So many leaf possibilities!

I started by embossing a number of leaves tumbling down a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock. To this, I adhered a strip of my handmade patterned paper. 

I heat embossed the tree ring image with copper embossing powder on a piece of Soft Suede cardstock and fussy cut it out. This became the base behind another tree image. This image was stamped and colored in the same manner as the one for the six-pack holder.
​
I stamped the greeting with Granny Apple Green ink on Very Vanilla cardstock and cut it out with a Stitched Rectangle die. To let the "f" flow out of the rectangle, I trimmed out just the very bottom of the "f" before die-cutting the sentiment. When I placed my rectangle die, I lifted the tail of the edge so that it rested on top of the die instead of underneath it. This way, the bottom of the "f" was not cut with the rest of the rectangle.

To finish the card, I added some linen thread and a few Gold Metallic Pearls. The greeting is mounted on Soft Suede cardstock and adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals. Likewise, the entire card front is attached to a Soft Suede card base with Stampin' Dimensionals. This special card is filled with texture and dimension. The perfect gift for a wonderful guy!
