 Does anyone else struggle with masculine cards like I do? I often feel like the products available for these types of cards are too specific. I don't like making cards with tool sets or ties, as the person receiving, do not wear ties or happen to be someone using tools. The of course I search and feel that I don't find anything more general. The masculine cards seem to be boring, older and quite frankly not fun to me! And well, the majority of my supplies are just to feminine and if I do make a more masculine card, it's too young looking??? Anyone feel my struggle?? So...the new True Gentlemen Suite is a nice addition to my supplies. But I am not a huge fan of the colors! But the DSP is really nice and very usable!! I do like the stamps! And I love that the set is bundled with a punch!!! Going forward, I want to work on creating my own patterns in colors I that I think is a little more appealing and modern! I am still very happy with the designs of the cards!!! I know I will definitely have more use of this suite than those of the past!!!!! Thanks for listening! I am open to suggestions as well!!!

Happy Stampin Steph   I have been working on refreshing some of my cards that I sell in a local boutique! My go to for inspiration is Pinterest! I love finding a design that works for my needs and I am very grateful for the demonstrators who share their creations!!! Todays’ cards were inspired by Patty Bennett, combining Party Pandas and Picture Perfect Birthday stampsets. Such a fun and simple card to make! I used the colors that are found in the Perfect Party DSP! The combination of Bermud Bay, Berry Burst, Lemon-lime Twist and Peakaboo Peach really makes a bright and cheery card!!!!

Welcome and thank you joining the first Blog Hop of 2018 by Stampin Friends! We have an amazing Hop for you this month!!! We have many new crafters that have joined the Stampin Friends Blog Hop for the 2018 year! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!
Be sure to follow each blogger to see all the awesome projects that have been created and shared for you! If you get lost a long the way, there is a list of participants at the bottom of each of the blogs! I am #2 Stephanie Jandrow! Be sure to leave a comment ON MY BLOG for ,your chance at winning Blog candy! This month’s theme is All About Love! And what better products to use? The brand new Painted with Love by Stampin Up! 
As I was designing my cards, I made each slightly different, using the same products! The Painted with Love Specialty DSP is gorgeous in person I don’t think picture do it justice!!! I used Rich Razzleberry and Powder Pink inks and cardstock.
The cardbase is Powder Pink. I used the Lots to Love Box Framelits and Sure Do Love You stamp set. I chose 2 different patterns of the DSP for my layers and a 3rd for the larger heart, cut out with the Sweet & Sassy Framelits.. I added the Love Mini Tinsel Trim in a pretty bow at the top of each card! I think I’m more partial to the card on the left but I love both. This set is so much fun to use!
For my project, I used the Lots to Love Box Famelits. I created 2 boxes and decorated the front! I wasn’t sure what to put in them. At first I thought candy, but then decided to make some notecards!
The notecards are simple and super easy to make! 4 5/8 x 5 1/2 and on the 5 1/2 side score at 2 3/4. Walla! I kept them simple and not over-decorated as I wanted the box to be the focal point! I stamped the "candy" heart images in Rich Razzleberry, Powder Pink and Calypso Coral. Then I chose the DSP pattern and used the Heart dies in the Lots to Love Box framelits to cut them out. Simple, right! But I think the cards have a big look!
As I was prepping the decoration for the box, I couldn’t decide if I wanted the ribbon or not so I made one with and one without! I used Powder Pink, Calypso Coral and Rich Razzleberry for ink colors. The heart with the vine image does not have a matching framelits so I fussy cut it out. I also stamped the leaves to the inside of the heart to save paper, the cut outs won’t be seen as the Calypso Coral heart sticks over it! What do you think??!
I hope you like my projects for this Blog Hop.

Happy Stampin Steph I'M BACK!! Did you miss me?? I miss all of you too! Well, I really didn't go anywhere, but I haven't had a chance to blog in a while! December quickly came and went for me and most of the month just seems like a blur. I was a bit overwhelmed with all I had going on, that sadly a few things had to take a backseat. I was sick for a few weeks with a virus that just knocked me on my bottom! No down-time, running around working, PTO, being a mom, and getting ready for the holidays just had me flat out!! I am sure many of you can relate! But that is behind me now and it's a new year, new beginning! There so much going on with Stampin UP in 2018 I don't know where to begin! So let's just dive right in!!! So there is more to share! Yes More! Well...it's all at once, it's a lot of information, but it is truly amazing!! Click on the links below to see what's going on!
