Hello everyone! My name is Holly Stene and I'm an independent demonstrator with Stampin' Up! I currently live in Minnesota (moving to Texas in 3 weeks!) and I'm pairing up today with my good friend Cathy Caines for the Stampin' Up! Saturday highlight. This post is a little longer than normal – but we have a great collaboration of projects for you! We are showcasing the Guy Greetings stamp set from Stampin' Up! – with plenty of time to prep for Father's Day!
I love making goodies and treats for friends and family and decided for my father-in-law, I would create a little box of peanuts. I created this clear box using the Gift Bag Punch Board and Window Sheets. The Window Sheet scored pretty easily, but a Bone Folder really helped get the creases perfect. I added some Wood Textures Designer Series Paper in the inside to add a little more detail.
I added Tranquil Tide 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon and Linen Thread to keep the box closed. The sentiment is from Guy Greetings and stamped over a Dapper Denim watercolor look I made using an Aqua Painter.
For the card, I added the tools stamp and "righty-tighty, lefty loosey" sentiment on the background using Crumb Cake Ink. I added another strip of the Wood Textures DSP, some Eastern Palace Designer Series Paper and the same ribbons as the box. The tools are stamped on a circle I cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits – again with the same watercolor look. Some splatter and Dapper Denim Enamel Shapes and the card is finished.
Now you can see the amazing projects Cathy has come up for you with the Guy Greetings stamp set.
“Aw, Holly. She’s such a treat and ridiculously talented!” It’s Cathy Caines from Newfoundland, Canada and I am so excited to show you a couple more ways to use the Guy Greetings stamp set.
I started out with creating an upside down, inside out tri-fold masculine card. And yes, that’s my own language. This little cutie is held together with a neat library clip at the top. The label was created using the Stitched Shapes Framelits and a quick stamp. To bring the card together I used the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper and some 5/8” burlap ribbon.
On the inside of this card, I stamped the “Happy Father’s Day”. However, I layered the bottom and top flaps with matching Wooden Textures Designer Series Paper to bring it all together.
My second project is a quick card that can be used for a Father’s Day card but also for a congratulations card. Since this is the time of year that many people graduate it was a great chance to show you an alternative.
Lately I’ve been consistently using ribbons and trims as a layer on my projects; however, its rarely a traditional bow. Instead, I have been using the trims and ribbons as if it’s washi tape or another paper layer. Sometimes it can be tricky to find the proper adhesives to keep everything in place. One trick that I always follow is to staple multiple layers together and then hide the staple with an embellishment or top layer. It’s makes life so easy… and well, I love ‘easy’.
#adttipsandtricks:// Before piecing your layers together, staple any trims together quickly with a staple.
Thanks so much for dropping by and hanging out. Hats off to you!"

This looks amazing, mostly because your projects were so creative and wonderful! I don’t think I have any ‘Dad’ stamps…I kind of always group cards to my mom and dad together, but I bet he would like a card of his own. 🙂 Thanks for the great ideas.

Great projects, thanks for the inspiration! I would love to get my hands on the wood textures paper, my husband’s hobby is woodworking and these would be perfect to use in cards for him.
I’ve been wanting to order that Stampin’ Up! Guys Greeting stamp set for a while now, definately a must have for my collection?
Those cards are great looking! Guy cards can be a bit more challenging. That stamp stamp set has some great guy images & sentiments & I love those papers.

for my greeting cards. Don’t
take away from the main
idea of the card.

Wonderful paper pack and the stamps are manly too. Always nice to see cards that recognize not all men wear ties to work.
Always great inspiration. I have a hard time designing cards for males.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to win prizes.
I absolutely love this set! So many possibilities with the stamps and papers!
I love being at the lake with my children and grandchildren. Plenty of activity for those who can’t sit still and lots of relaxing for the rest of us.
That would be a great collection of papers for use in my card making stash. I would be able to use them for all the male cards etc. that I need to make!
Such great projects! Love the clear gift box…and that ribbon is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your ideas, such talent! Love to win that stamp set and paper .
