Nature’s Symphony Masculine Birthday

February 11, 2026 - By Sherri Minne

Once again it’s time for this weeks post and video. I used parts of the Nature’s Symphony Suite which can be found in the 26 January to April Mini Catalog. Great set of products for guys and gals. It’s been said I always have my nose stuck in a book if I’m not doing cards. There is some truth to that, and this book fun fold card is one of my favorite fun folds. Quick and easy card.

CARD RECIPE:

STAMPS: Nature’s Symphony, Fantastic Phrases> PAPER: Garden Green 4-1/4 x 11 S 5-1/2 & 4-1/4, , Regular Basic White 4×4, Scrap, Crushed Curry 4×5 > DESIGNER SERIES PAPER: Nature’s Walk 4×4 INK: Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake > DIES: Nature’s Symphony, Stylish Shapes > OTHER: Faux Bronze Pentagons

VIDEO:

Masculine cards are sometimes are difficult to make, but this one serves the purpose well. Many of the designer serie’s paper, and sentiments work well for guy cards, but there’s plenty for the girls too. Hope you enjoy the card and video, and I hope to be back next week. Blessings!

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Tuesday again, and time for another blog/video post. Hope you are all doing well. I am fine, and really enjoying the cooler weather we are experiencing. Today’s card is a different version of one we did at the Stamp-a-Stack I held last weekend. We did the masculine one at the SAS, but changed paper etc. for the card we are doing today.

Hi everyone. Here it is Tuesday again, and here’s my latest card creation. This is such a quick and easy (Q&E) card you can make it in no time at all. Limited supplies and stamping, but still one a guy will like. Hope you agree.

The Designer Series 6×6 Paper Timeless Plaid is one of my favorites. For the ladies who also like plaids, there are some nice plaids with appropriate colors for the ladies. Click on the thumbnail below to check it out in my online store.

Thoughtful Journey Double Flap Card

October 15, 2024 - By Sherri Minne

Here we go again with another Terrific Tuesday card. I am calling this one a double flap card, but not sure that adequately describes the card. Best thing about the extra flap is using and showing almost a whole sheet of the beautiful Thoughtful Journey 6×6 Designer Serie Paper. I will say it was a bit difficult to capture the card in my photos. But it is what it is.

CARD RECIPE:

STAMPS: Unbounded Love, Attention Shoppers > PAPER: Soft Sea Foam 5-1/2×8-1/2 Scored at 4-1/4, 1×4, Regular Basic White 4×5-1/4, 4×4, > DESIGNER SERIES PAPER: Thoughtful Journey cut to 4×6 > INK: Basic Gray, Versamark > DIES: Grove Dies, Peaceful Season > OTHER: Copper Embossing Powder, Brass Butterflies, Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies and Birds

VIDEO:

Really like the way this card turned out. My inspiration came from a swap card I received, and am sorry I didn’t write down her name. Hope you like it as much as I do. Blessings!
