Every 6 weeks or so, I design a project for Card & Cuppa that is more suited to men. For this one, I reached for the Geared Up Garage Stamp Set. Normally for male cards, there is a lot of blues, greens and Crumb Cake used. I opted for a slightly brighter palette. This combination
Last week’s Card & Cuppa project was this pretty Birthday card, made using the Perennial Birthday Stamp Set. I used a combination of Rococo Rose, Merry Merlot and Old Olive for this project, along with Very Vanilla. We used the fabulous ‘Pearlized Doilies’ as a background. These are white on one side with a silver
I made this pair of pink and purple Birthday cards for two lovely ladies. One lady likes pink, the other purple, so I made the same design in different colours. It also helps that the ladies won’t see each other! The purple design uses Highland Heather and Purple Posy, the pink one uses Blushing Bride

The final project of the Mostly Men Class was this easy Stamparatus Card. This project was the quickest of the 6 and it’s all because of the Stamparatus. If I hadn’t added the ribbon, or the extra sentiment, it would have been completed in about 2 minutes maximum! The key to this project is using
For last week’s Card & Cuppa Class, it was the turn of the Floral Essence and Perennial Birthday Stamp Sets. The Floral Essence Stamp Set is part of a Bundle with the Perennial Flower Punch. A colour combination of Blushing Bride, Merry Merlot, Mossy Meadow and Whisper White work really well with this project. Petal
Here’s another project from my recent Mostly Men Class. Geared Up Garage Stamp Set and Garage Gears Dies create this fabulous classic car card. The main colours are Poppy Parade, Basic Gray and Whisper White. First, second and third generation stamping has been used for the oil spill background. Once the car was stamped, I
The next project from my recent Mostly Men Class is yet more Sailing Home Bundle fun. For this project, we’ve used the lighthouse Stamp and co-ordinating die, along with the birds and knot stamps.
