Welcome to this month’s Paper Crafting Blog Hop featuring the theme Thinking of You Guys. I am excited to share another project with you today. Fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the globe are participating, so we have lots of fun projects to share with you. I hope you get loads of creative inspiration from them. You may have started here, or arrived from the talented Maureen Rauchfuss’s blog. Either way, you’re in the right place!
When deciding what I would create for this blog hop, I started thinking about what makes a card masculine. I decided that it was the colours used, texture and metallics. Often, thinking of you cards are for a sad occasion, and flowers or butterflies come to mind, but not for a male. So, I was thinking, Lovely As A Tree stamp set….Oh no, it’s retired. So I was wondering what I had that was similar and I thought of the Winter Woods stamp set. I’ve seen lots of lovely Christmas cards made with these “wintery trees”. My thoughts then went to neutral colours, texture and metallics, and this card was born.
I hope my card inspires you. I have listed all supplies below. Please add a comment and let me know what you liked about it before clicking the next image to hop to Shirley Merker’s blog in the United States to see what fun ideas she has to share.

The Global SU Share Fair for May was on last Saturday and was a great success, despite a few technical problems. The projects were amazing. I now have the pdf tutorial package available FREE for customers who place an order in my online store here for over $45 of product and use the hostess code TXP6RFP7.
This is a fantastic offer. There are 17 tutorials in all and each is in a standard format with step by step instructions and colour photographs. So don’t miss out, place your order now.
Just a reminder that I will be live at 5.15 pm tomorrow evening in the private facebook group, Global SU Share Fair. The event is exclusive to the customers of the presenters, so let me know if you’d like to be invited.
This month, all 17 presenters will provide pdfs of their presentation projects to me for my customers who order more than $45 of product through me before 22 May.
Don’t miss out. Contact me for an invite to the group. If you need to become my customer first, you can find the link to my online store here.
My team of demonstrators (Netty’s Inkers) had a virtual meeting last month to share some quality crafting time via Zoom. I had chosen a sketch challenge for everyone to use from Create with Connie and Mary. The card shown was what I came up with and I was quite pleased with it. In fact everyone created great cards using the sketch. Card sketches are a great way to develop your creativity because they give you a place to start, and you can then bring in the supplies that you have on hand. I selected the colour scheme based on the paper, so easy!
Card: –Garden Green, Mint Macaron, Very Vanilla, Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper
Ink : –Memento, Garden Green, Mint Macaron, Daffodil Delight, Terracotta Tile and Soft Suede
I hope you like my card. I would love to hear what you think.
All the current supplies used in this card can be ordered through my online store. If you click on the product images you will be taken there directly.

I am thrilled to have been invited to present again at the second Global SU Share Fair. It starts at 4.30pm (AEST) on Saturday 16 May in Australia, heads over to Europe, then over to the US and Canada, ending at 8am (AEST) on Sunday 17 May . My presentation will go live at 5.15pm (AEST).
For this Facebook Live event, I have teamed with 16 Stampin’ Up! demonstrators around the globe to bring Facebook Live video demonstrations into your stamp space.
So, in Australia we can start watching at 4.30pm, continue to watch presentations from the UK and if we stay up late we will get to watch some in the US and Canada. We can return to watch any we have missed at a later stage.
Demonstrators will share short videos beforehand in the group letting us know what products to gather from our stamp space to create along on the day. If you don’t have the exact supplies, gather similar items you do have. Share what you create along with us in the group.
Joining the Facebook Global SU Share Fair is by invitation only, and only customers of demonstrator presenters are allowed in the group. Sorry, demonstrators that are not presenters are not allowed to join the group. Please contact me if you want to join the group. If you are not a current customer of mine, place an order through my online store by clicking here and you will be a customer after placing that order.
There is a Show Special to use when placing your order. See image at top of this page for details.
This month, the theme is retiring stamps. I have chosen to present a project using the Painted Glass Stamp Set.
My name is Annette McMillan. I love to make cards and other papercraft projects and this is my place to share my creations and other information. I have been a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator in Canberra, Australia for over 10 years and papercrafting for 18 years or so. I run card making classes for all skill levels and can offer in-home demonstrations for you and your friends. I also sell cards which can be stock or on commission.
