Who struggles to make masculine cards?🙋🏻‍♀️ Well, struggle no more, friends! The Ready to Ride collection is FABULOUS and makes creating man cards a breeze! The Designer Paper alone ie enough to provide countless possibilities, but when paired with the Legendary Ride bundle, you’ll have trouble stopping once you get started. (Speaking from experience here!) This birthday card came together in under 10 minutes and is all about the Designer Paper…the only stamping is the sentiment! Join me live on Facebook tomorrow at 5 pm ET and I’ll prove just how easily this card comes together. #alacards #stampinup #stamping #cardmaking #papercrafting #handmadegreetingcards #handmadeisbetter #handmadeincanada #stampinupdemo #canadiandemonstrator #cambridgeontario #cardclasses #crafts #scrapbooking (at Leena Girsa, Independent Stampin' Up!

Here’s another idea for the Delicate Desert suite. I love everything about this one and will be sad to say good bye to this suite when it retires at the end of the month. And let’s have a moment of silence for the out-going In-Colors…I will miss Soft Succulent terribly!

The border stamps in the Delicate Desert bundle are a great way to add pattern and texture to a project. Here I’ve used the narrower image, inked once, and stamped several times, creating a cool Ombre effect. Love this look so much!

The medallion die in the Desert Details bundle is one of my favourites. It has so much potential as a design element.

This card was the very first one I made using the Nested Friends bundle. As you can likely tell, I am LOVING the dies in this set…check out the triple-layered nest 😂 I even used parts of the nest and additional leaves to embellish my sentiment label.
