Take to the Sky Card Kit Now Available + 4 Bonus Adventurous Skies Card Ideas

I just announed on Tuesday that the theme for the September Great, Big Card Swap will be Masculine Cards. With so many floral stamp options, sometimes it can be tricky to find the right products to create cards for your favorite men. I am so happy that Stampin' Up! has offered some new options in the last few years -- the most recent being the new Take to the Sky Suite. I love the colors in this designer paper -- which include patterns that have nothing to do with airplanes!

Here are three cards that I've created using this new suite and the coordinating Adventurous Skies bundle. This stamp set and die bundle is perfect for making cards for men's birthdays, retirement, and Father's Day.

This last card is the same layout that I shared for our last Sunday Stamp Along. Watch the replay and create with me! Which version of the Take to the Sky card do you prefer below? This or That? Leave a comment and let me know!

VIDEO: Stampin' Up! Take to the Sky | Adventurous Sky Peek-a-boo Flip Card Tutorial

I was inspired by a recent card that Sharon Groves and Myra Williams shared for the Great, Big Card Swap and couldn't resist bringing back this fun fold card design that I first shared back in 2016. (See the original project.)

I designed this version for a recent Sunday Stamping with Susan & Julie video using the Take to the Sky Suite from the new Annual Catalog. This suite is perfect for making masculine cards for Father's Day, birthdays, retirement, or any occasion!

When you open the card, the image in the punched window "magically" changes! Here's a top view that shows the "flip" mechanism.

Use the card measurements below and follow along during my video tutorial for tips on how to make the Peek-a-boo Flip Card at home. If you prefer a written tutorial, check out the free PDF download from 2016. (Note: This tutorial from the archives features an older stamp set and colors.)

Card Measurements: 

• 4-1/4" x 8" Boho Blue Cardstock, scored at 5-1/2" 
• 4-1/4" x 5-3/4" Boho Blue Cardstock, scored at 5-1/2" 
• 4-1/4" x 8-1/2" Basic White Cardstock, scored at 4-1/4"

2 Stampin' Up! Country Flowers Card Ideas + Sunday Stamping Video

When Mom and I feature a suite in our weekly Sunday Stamping videos, I always try to use as many of the coordidnating products as I can to create my card design. I think I suceeded with this pair of cards using the Country Woods Suite and Country Flowers Bundle from the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. I use the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder along with strips of designer paper and the ribbon and embellishments on these layered card designs.

Featured Colors: Petal Pink, Misty Moonlight, Basic Beige

The flowers and plant are colored with Stampin' Blends markers, but for both cards, I skipped coloring the container and stamped it on the Country Lace designer paper to bring in some texture with the pattern.

Featured Colors: Old Olive, Smoky Slate, Basic Beige

Which of these two cards do you prefer? Use the measurements below to recreate either of these two cards and watch the video tutorial below to guide you as you stamp at home!

Card Measurements: 

• 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Card Base 
• 4" x 4 1-4" Cardstock (same color as card base), embossed 
• (2) 1" x 5" Designer Paper 
• 3" Die Cut Circle 
• Punched Label
