Card Ideas for Guys – Magic with Circle Circus
One of the questions I hear all the time is “Do you have any ideas for cards for men?” Good question! And the answer is yes! Lots of times we have the perfect stamp sets for guy cards already in our stamp collection – we just don’t see them in “guy colors”. So that’s the magic key — start thinking in GUY COLORS!
Here’s another sample of Circle Circus (see the set online – 127784) from my blog a few years ago — I used it to make a scrapbook page to celebrate our Advisory Board picture from the Stampin’ Up! Convention back in 2009. (Where has the time gone??)
For the scrapbook page, I used Melon Mambo and Crushed Curry (back soon as a “new” color!) and accented with Basic Black. The whole page comes across as fairly “girlie”.
But with the guy card above, my color combination came from the Comfort Cafe Designer Series Paper (see it online – 126898):
- Cajun Craze
- Midnight Muse
- Pool Party
- Soft Suede
- Summer Starfruit
And the whole feel of the stamp set magically becomes much more masculine.
I gathered with a group of women from my church yesterday to make a big set of these cards to use for Card Ministry. Lots of fun and fellowship, and watch for more posts of the cards we created in the coming weeks!
So two thoughts to leave with you today -
Want to come to Convention? You can!! We have a HUGE family of LovenStampfuls demonstrators attending, and I’d love to have you join us. You can learn more about becoming a demonstrator on my website (plus a bonus $30 to spend on your Starter Kit right now!).
Take a second look at your stamp collection. I bet there are some sets in there that would make terrific guy cards if you change your color selections!

My Digital Studio: not just for scrapbooking
Guess what? My Digital Studio (MDS) is great for ALL kinds of projects! I wanted to share this poster (about 4 ft by 2 1/2 ft) that I created to advertise a recent PTO activity. It’s huge! And it attracted lots of attention, which is the point of advertising. I’ve actually used MDS for school projects loads of times.
The big orange frame came from the Fancy Frames Digital download (see it online here). You’ll notice that it doesn’t include an orange frame. No problem! One of the fabulous features of the most recent MDS updates is that you can re-color an element. So all I did was re-color the white frame from the download so that it matches our school colors.
For printing, I just exported my poster as a jpg, and then had it printed at a print shop on a large format printer. For things that you can’t print at home, and that Stampin’ Up! doesn’t offer, it’s great that you can take your MDS creations anywhere.
Have you looked at My Digital Studio lately? There are a lot of great updates! Best of all, the cost for the software and content package is now only $19.95!
And if you have MDS purchased prior to August 2012, you can catch up to your friends who have already been all the new features. And the cost is free! The links to get those downloads are here on mydigitalstudio.net
Keep in mind that if you’re updating to the new software for free you’ll get all the super tools, but not the new content. If you want the new content, I’d highly recommend just getting the $19.95 version, which will contain all the updated fabulous content.
And have you been using MDS? Be sure you check the latest digital downloads!
Or looking for MDS project ideas? Here are a variety of MDS project ideas on my blog.
Or looking for some free MDS training? Here are some free MDS tutorials from my blog that you might find helpful!
