Today, I'm sharing a few more cards made with paper scraps. I tend to collect loads of pieces of designer series papers. I grabbed my pack of Beautiful Gallery designer series paper by Stampin' Up!®. I have made a ton of cards with this beautiful paper and I am left with strips of scraps of various measurements (1/2", 1", 2", 3" etc). You can trim them down to any size. I like to make mine 5" and I work with whatever width they are.

I decided to create another Sweet Bugs card with the stitched flag die. Instead of a straight line, I did the flags layered wonky. What do you think? I also switched out the pattern for a plaid from Timeless Plaid designer series paper.

Masculine card idea with Gears & Textures bundle by Stampin' Up!®
Masculine or guy cards can be hard to make. I'm not really sure why that is but it is. My household is all guys so I feel like that is what I make mostly for my personal use. I love certain color combos and mostly outdoorsy stamps and dies. Well, Stampin' Up!® just upped the game plan with the Gears & Textures bundle. It is a stamp set with a few gears, chains and loads of textures and a coordinating die set with different sized gears that can be used alone or layered and chains and textures. I think it's amazing!
Today, I'm sharing the card I made on my Coffee and a Card Facebook live. It has a masculine feel and the color scheme is one of my new favorites.
- Card base 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2"
- Basic White layer 4 1/4" x 2". Stamp large greeting. I used Cloud Cover classic ink.
- Various gear die cuts. I used Pecan Pie and Secret Sea two tone cardstock light and dark sides
- Use the texture stamps from Gears & Textures to stamp on the gears. I used Pecan Pie classic ink.
- Use a pencil to lightly mark where your greeting layer will go. Stamp textures of your choice along the bottom and top of where the layer will be. For the card I made live, I used the blending brush for Pecan Pie ink without reinking it. This gave just a hint of brown along the top and bottom of the greeting layer.
- To add a little more texture to your gears, use a blending brush and Pecan Pie ink to rub on some color randomly. Use a sponge dauber and Early Espresso classic ink to add color to the edge of your gears. For the card I did live, I also added brown around the edge of my white layer.
- Basic White layer for inside 3 3/4" x 5". Use a few extra gears. Add texture the same way you did for the gears on the front. Using the stamping off method, add some texture to the lower left corner with Cloud Cover ink. Adhere gears overlapping on top of the texture.
- Apply a thin line of adhesive down the middle of greeting layer. Adhere to front of card.
- Adhere gears, tucking under the greeting layer.
- Adhere inside layer.
