Fun fold wedding cards using Cup of Tea bundle

Cup of Tea fun fold Stampin Up card idea
 
Floral cards for special occasions are not my forte so when I happened upon this fabulous fun fold card idea from fellow Stampin’ Up!® demonstrator Terri Gaines, it was just what I needed for several special occasions. I fiddled around with her template and converted it for A4 cardstock and C6 envelopes – please read on for measurements, and an alternative version.

More masculine card ideas – this time with Wildlife Wonder

Masculine Stampin Up UK Cards Wildlife Wonder
 
I just can’t stop making masculine cards now I’ve started so I have another post of projects for you this week. All are birthday cards but all could easily be converted into Father’s Day cards if that’s what you need.

All the projects use the absolutely stunning New Horizons Designer Series Paper which I strongly urge you to grab now while you can, as it is in the January-June Mini Catalogue so won’t be around for much longer.

Foolproof tips for masculine cardmaking

Masculine card ideas Stampin Up UK
 
Lots of crafters tell me they really struggle to make masculine cards. While there are lots of images in the current Stampin’ Up!® catalogues designed specifically with men and boys in mind, they can’t cover every hobby and interest. And, let’s be honest here, sometimes you don’t want to invest in a stamp set for just one card.

Cup of Tea cards and In Color™ comparisons

Tea Boutique Cup of Tea Stampin Up

Crafters everywhere are loving our new Stampin’ Up!® In Colors so I wanted to show them off using a brand new stamp set called Cup of Tea.

This is from the new Tea Boutique Suite from the new Annual Catalogue which goes live today. I will be using this suite at my Craft-Tea Day Out in June.
