Delightfully Eclectic

Posted on April 5, 2024April 5, 2024 by inkspirationwithteresa

This week I’m sharing a project using a few different retiring products. Sadly, the He’s All That stamp set and dies are retiring. And so is the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper pack. Now you may not immediately think of using this pack of patterned paper for a masculine themed card. But there are a couple of designs in this pack of DSP that do work well.

So that’s where I started for this card design… with the patterned paper design. Once I had that I chose my colour combo, which in this case is pretty simple because they’re all neutral colours. My card base is Gray Granite. And then I layered a couple pieces of the black and white DSP on top using some Stampin’ Dimensionals. To make these two pieces, I started with a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of the DSP. Then I lined up one corner at the 2″ mark and cut across on a diagonal to about the 1.4″ mark. To get the other piece I just flipped it around and repeated the same thing.

Behind the pieces of the Delightfully Eclectic DSP, I stamped one of the images from the Season of Chic stamp set in Gray Granite ink. Then I stamped a sentiment from the He’s All That stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and die cut it with one of the coordinating dies. And I layered this on top of the bottom piece of DSP.

I’m hoping to do a couple more projects with the Delightfully Eclectic DSP before it retires. But in the meantime, check out another project I made using He’s All That here.

As I write this, the He’s All That stamps and dies and the Delightfully Eclectic DSP are still available. You have until April 30, or maybe sooner, to get these before they’re gone. Don’t wait!

Handmade Masculine Cards

Posted on February 16, 2024February 16, 2024 by inkspirationwithteresa

Handmade masculine cards are the ones I hear people struggle with the most. And I put myself in that group too! I’m always looking for a good masculine themed stamp set and fun patterned paper. So I was excited when I saw the Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper in the Sale-a-bration catalogue. And with this card design I’m able to make 3 cards at once!

To make it I pulled 3 different designs and cut them each into 4″ x 5 1/4″ pieces. Then I cut each design into 3 pieces. I didn’t measure exactly, but you don’t really need to. You just need to get close. Then I mixed and matched the 3 different designs so that each card has a Real Red, Crushed Curry and Lost Lagoon design.

Once I stuck them to the Gray Granite card bases, I fussy cut a few of the tools. Thankfully they’re pretty easy to do that with. But you can use the Trusty Tools dies for some of them instead if that’s easier.

Then to build up my stash of handmade masculine cards I used 3 different sentiments from the He’s All That stamp set. I stamped them with Gray Granite ink. And then I die cut them with the coordinating dies and popped them up with a mix of Stampin’ Dimensionals and the minis.

I totally forgot about the Brushed Metallic Dots. Those would look great if you like to add a little bling to your handmade masculine cards!

Father’s Day Shaker Card

Posted on June 9, 2023June 9, 2023 by inkspirationwithteresa

I got the idea for this card when I first started crafting with the He’s All That stamps and dies. Well maybe not this card exactly, lol! I love using the argyle dies and I got the idea of saving all the little cardstock bits to make a shaker card. So here I am with a Father’s Day shaker card. It’s not filled with jewels or sequins like a typical shaker card, but I love the confetti that was created!

So my confetti was my starting point. There’s a mix of Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Crushed Curry in there, which is a nice colour combination for a masculine card. I used Mossy Meadow for the card base and frame. Old Olive for the card mat and one of my argyle pieces. And then Crushed Curry for the other argyle piece.

Then of course I wanted to use the He’s All That stamps and dies. I used Mossy Meadow and Crushed Curry to stamp a couple of the smaller images to make a background for my shaker. Next I framed it with the Foam Adhesive strips. Once I poured in all my cardstock bits I covered it with a piece of Window Sheet. Then I added a Mossy Meadow cardstock frame to cover the adhesive strips.

To finish it off I added the argyle pieces and the sentiment I die cut using one of the simpler coordinating dies. And even a masculine card needs some bling, so I added a few of the Brushed Metallic Dots.

I just love this Father’s Day shaker card! Now… do I use this next weekend or add it to my stash for when I’m stuck for a masculine card?

Handmade Father’s Day Card

Posted on June 2, 2023June 2, 2023 by inkspirationwithteresa

June is here! Soon it’ll be summer and in just a couple of weeks is Father’s Day. There’s lot going on around here. Hopefully it settles down soon so I can get to my garden. In the meantime I’m sharing a handmade Father’s Day card. I was very glad to hear that the He’s All That stamp set and dies were carrying over to the new Annual Catalogue! This was one of the first sets I got when it came out in last year’s catalogue and I’ve been enjoying crafting with it. It’s definitely made making masculine cards a lot easier!

For this card I put Mossy Meadow and Crushed Curry together for my colour combination. I also added in a splash of Night of Navy. The sentiment is from the He’s All That stamp set, of course. Next I die cut it using one of the coordinating dies and then popped it off with a couple of Stampin’ Dimensionals.

In the background I stamped some paint splatter using the Quiet Meadow stamp set. And added a few of the argyle die cuts around the sentiment. For these I used all three colours and popped them up using some of the Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then to finish it off I added a few Brushed Metallic Dots. A nice way to add some bling to your masculine cards!

Now this isn’t the handmade Father’s Day card I’ll be giving to my dad. But I’ll definitely be using the He’s All That stamps and dies!

Crafting with the New Catalogue

Posted on May 10, 2022May 10, 2022 by inkspirationwithteresa

This past weekend I celebrated the new Annual Catalogue that launched last Tuesday. I had an online and in-person party and we had a lot of fun crafting with the new catalogue! It’s so much fun getting together with people and crafting. I’ve really missed it.

For my online party I did some live crafting on my Facebook page. Check that out here. At my in-person party we made two cards. The first card uses the Bottled Happiness stamp set. I paired Parakeet Party, one of the new In Colours, with Pool Party for my colour combination. Then to add a little something more to the card I used some of the Supple Shimmer and Iridescent Specialty Papers. I also added some of the Denim Ribbon and a few Polished Dots. (You can find the Supple Shimmer Specialty Paper and the Denim Ribbon in the January-June Mini catalogue.)

The second card uses the He’s All That bundle. I love this set! The stamp set is a nice versatile masculine set and the dies can be used with a variety of images and phrases, not just the ones from the stamp set. For this card I paired Starry Sky, another new In Colour, and Crumb Cake. And instead of Basic White cardstock I used Very Vanilla. It’s a little more subtle.

To add a distressed look to the card I tore the edges of the cardstock and the vellum. Just start with a little snip from your Paper Snips, or scissors, and tear away. The vellum came from the Vellum Layering Designs and I thought the map design works great for this card. Then to finish it off I added a few of the Brushed Metallic Dots.

I’m having so much fun crafting with the new catalogue! And I can’t wait to share even more projects with you. In the meantime you can check it all out in my online shop. And if you live in Canada and want a copy of your very own just send me an email; inkspirationwithteresa@gmail.com. I’d be happy to send you one!
