Welcome to the Pals June, 2018 Blog Hop. This month we’re going to Pick a “B”. Projects for Babies, Birthdays or Brides, that is. Be on the look out for creations using new products from Stampin’ Up!
You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
For today’s Hop, I chose to do a Masculine Birthday. I send more Birthday cards than any other and sometimes masculine ones are just really difficult to get the right look I believe. Well, now that is a little easier! There are a couple of stamp sets in this new SU catalog that are great for anyone, but especially for creating masculine cards. The Rooted In Nature set and bundle is one of those. Here is the card I made.
Rooted In Nature Bundle, 148353
There is quite a lot of background design going on. It seems more in the photo than in person, LOL!!! I was going for a bit of vintage/rustic look. Did you catch my innuendo on the card? The slice of tree with the rings showing which means the age of the tree and then the sentiment “One More Year”. Okay, sometimes I am not as humorous as I think I am 🙂
I did use a great little trick on the sentiment though. The full sentiment is “On one more year” from the Sunshine Sayings , which is a builder type word set. I used masking tape to cover the “ON” while I was inking and then removed it and stamped to get only the wording I wanted.
I will say that this is the first time in ages that I have torn and sponged the edges of the paper. I remember why I like that look and added texture it gives. This was my first time using the Shaded Spruce color from the revamp. I have to say that I love it. It is a deep, but bright, green.
Thank you so much for visiting my page on the Blog Hop. I greatly appreciate it. All of the supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page.
Now it’s time to use the Blog Hop Line-up below to see which “B” the rest of my Pals are using. Don’t forget to show us some love by commenting on our creations.
Mark your calendars for July 11, 2018 for our annual Pattern Party featuring projects using favorite Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Papers and coordinating embellishments.. Don’t miss it!
Today’s card is back to showcasing a retiring set. Although this set and the matching punch will be sticking around my house. This set is perfect for Military, Law Enforcement and especially a super Father’s Day card.
My Hero , 141957
I paired this lovely stamp with the True Gentleman DSP. It is another beautiful Designer Series Paper that is super for use in all kinds of projects. It is layered on Chocolate Chip. The card base is Thick Very Vanilla with a layer of Crumb Cake on top. And do not forget this perfect badge punch. Unfortunately is is retiring as well, so get it while you can.
The badge also gives you a bit of a sneak peek at a couple of new colors. The gold is Mango Melody and the blue is Blueberry Bushel. Both are gorgeous !!
Thank you for visiting today. I very much appreciate your taking time to stop by. All of the supplies are listed at the bottom of the page.
Another Paper Pumpkin Special: The March PP was so popular due to the special gift that it sold out. So Stampin’ Up! has offered a great deal to replace that.

It is still a great time to become a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. I would love to have you join my team. A great perk for demonstrators this time of year is getting to see the new catalog first.

If you are interested, please contact me and let’s talk.
Another retiring set, that I have not totally decided will actually leave my house, is Layering Love. I really LOVE the sentiments of this stamp set. Today I have paired it for a little more masculine version. A favorite DSP has become the True Gentleman DSP from the Occasions Catalog. I think Stampin’ Up! really nailed it on the patterns in this pack of paper.
Layering Love, 141965
I went for non-Spring colors and added some different textures. This is quite a different card for me of late. I am happy with the results though. And again, there is quite a lot of retiring product here. The stamp set and DSP, as I mentioned above, but also the Sweet And Sassy Framelits!!! ( I cannot believe it!), the Enamel Shapes, and the Tutti-Fruitti Washi tape. Wow! And they look great together.
I hope you like my “a little bit different” card. I appreciate you stopping by today. All of the supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page. Remember that the retiring products are only “While Supplies Last” . If you hesitate too long you may miss out on a favorite.

I have combined two awesome items from the 2018 Occasions Catalog for today. Sadly both products are retiring. I truly love the Lots To Love Box Framelit. It is very versatile. And it makes a super cute little box. I have given it a more masculine look today and paired it with products from the True Gentleman Suite.
Lots To Love Box Framelits Dies, 145653
I used the True Gentleman Designer Series Paper for the Box and Belly Band. For the box, you cut two of the box shapes and adhered them together. The belly band is a strip of coordinating DSP that measures 8 X 2 1/2. I dry fit it and then creased it to fit snugly. It is only for decoration so I did not have to worry about allowing room for it to be slid off of the box.
The sentiment is an adorable stamp from the set Truly Tailored. It is punched out with the matching Tailored Tag Punch. The punch is the only item from this project that is carrying over. And I am thrilled. I do love my punches!! The blue punched shape is actually cut with my paper snips. Because the actual punched sentiment is all straight lines, it is very easy to simple cut the background piece. I adhered the punched piece to the Night of Navy and then simple trim around it.
I love the added texture and depth the Night of Navy Corduroy Ribbon brings to the box. I wish it was carrying over, but at least it is still currently available.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you like the masculine version of this box.The Lots To Love Box Framelits are definitely a keeper. All of the supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page.

I have another alternative for the Lots To Love Box framelits. There are quite a few varieties out there. Mine is very simple, and easy to make. I dressed it up as a masculine gift. Although after you look at it, think of a baby crib. I cannot get that thought out of my head and will have to give that a try next.
Lots to Love Box Framelits, 145653
My little box fits four of the Merci Chocolates. It is made from one cutting of the Lots To Love Box. To make the intended box you need to make two cuts with the framelits. I used the True Gentleman Designer Series Paper and the Tailored Tag Punch to create the belly band for my treat holder. The sentiment is from the Southern Serenade stamp set.
Fold and burnish on the score line, EXCEPT the one closest to the rounded end
Cut the flap pieces at the straight end to match the ones on the rounded end.
Tape box together.
Belly Band is 8 X 2, and scored at 2 78, 3 1/2, 6 1/2 ,7 1/8.
Fold and burnish the lines and dry fit it around the box.
Secure the ends on the back since the front decoration is not large enough to cover the seam.
Decorate as you like
I hope this is easy to understand. If not, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am definitely not my friend Julie DiMatteo when it comes to 3-D items!!
I hope you have an AWESOME rest of your day!

This is my first time using the Bubble Over Bundle. I really wish I had played with it sooner. It is perfect for layering. There are dies for almost every piece of the stamp set, plus a few extras. I made a simple card with a little twist to the fold. It is sort of a side/gate fold card.
Bubble Over Bundle, 146082
Please excuse my finger! The card did not want to stay closed to have it’s picture made. It is propped up and was misbehaving! I made the card pretty plain, with the bottle as the focal point. I had intended to clear emboss the bottle label, but then glued it down before I remembered to do it. Duh!!
I have the measurements for this off center fold further down in the post. I used several products, but they are not necessary. The Ticket Tear Border Punch could easily be a straight piece of card stock. I added it to mimic the edge of the bottle cap. That was my thoughts on using the scalloped ovals instead of straight ovals.
If you have any questions about this card, please do not hesitate to contact me. I love to hear from you! And I would especially like to talk with you about joining my Stampin’ Up! Team!! There are great incentives right now.
MEASUREMENTS:
Base card of Island Indigo is cut 4 X ll
Score the base card at 2, and & 1/2, fold and burnish
The layer is cut to 5 X 3 3/4
Emboss the layer, then cut it to 3 3/4 X 1 3/4 and 3 3/4 X 3 1/4
The focal point is adhered to the right half of the front
