National Husband Appreciation Day - 2022-23 Annual Catalog Sneak Peek - He's The Man Suite

Hello Crafters! 

I typically research National Holidays each month and decide if I'm going to create and blog about a holiday. I'm always surprised by how many National Holidays there are. More often than not, I had no idea some existed. Husband Appreciation day is one of those I did not know existed. 

I am blessed and fortunate to have married a wonderful man. We've been together for 37 years and call each other our best friend. We both do a lot of common day to day tasks for each other to make our lives easier and it is those common tasks that are so easy to overlook and not appreciate. On top of that, my husband really is very good at doing so many things that I'd be lost without his skill set! 

I thought I'd make a card using a new suite from the 2022-23 Annual Catalog going live on May 3, 2022. 

The Suite collection includes "He's All That" bundle which has the stamp set "He's All That" and a set of coordinating "All That Dies". There's a perfect sentiment in the stamp set, "To the MAN who does EVERYTHING". I thought this would be perfect for my card, since he really does almost anything he sets his mind to. 

The Suite also includes "He's The Man" 12 x 12 designer series paper. As usual there is a front and back design to the paper, but this one includes 2 sheets of punch out dies/sentiments that fit perfect with many of the patterns and of course the "Man" theme. I just love it. 

The Colors in the paper coordinate well with Early Espresso and Soft Succulent. I used several die cuts and also the punch outs from the paper to create this fun card. 

If you have a special man or men in your life, this suite of products is perfect to create cards, scrap book pages or other projects to let them know how much you appreciate them!

Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop - Scraps

The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.

Today features the Stampin' Dreams Hop topic using scraps in our projects. Since it's my Birthday today, I decided to create a fun Birthday card!

The Rainbow Glimmer paper is retiring 5/2/2022 with the annual catalog and is available at 20% off the below listed price. I have 1 full sheet and a bunch of scraps. I find it very difficult to toss paper in general, but especially the glimmer paper and try to use every piece possible! 

This is just a sample of what I had for scraps. I decided to grab my Playful Alphabet dies, also retiring and available at 20% off the below listed price. These are easy to die cut using small scraps. I then cut 1" x 1" squares of various parts of the rainbow scraps to pull in all the colors on my card. Tip: Add adhesive sheets to the paper before die cutting/trimming, makes it much easier to adhere to the card base.

I created a slim line card to fit all the squares/letters. The 'happy' and inside sentiment (below) are from the Happiest Of Birthdays set, also retiring and is no longer available to order from the Last Chance list.

 

I cut 1" off the front of the slimline base card and attached the squares to the inside bottom layer of the card base so you can see the beautiful rainbow glimmer at all times!! The Black 3/8" organdy glitter ribbon was a good fit for more glitter. This is also retiring at full price.

The Hand Penned Memories & More Cards & Envelopes make it so easy to design a card. The base card is a perfect spring color for Easter, paired with Pale Papaya.

The focus of the sketch is the designer series paper layers. I decided to work with the All Together 6x6 designer series paper which is only available through 5/2, or while supplies last.
