The Waterfront stamp set is a favourite of mine that has been brushed aside by newer releases in the last year...but it's getting dusted off for this card since it works so well for anyone who likes nature scenes, and I was looking for another design for my Masculine Cards class.
There's a stamp set in the upcoming Holiday Catalogue called Snow Front, which is the same style of scene-builder set, but with different images, of course. Here in Australia where Christmas is a summer holiday there are plenty of scenes that can be made with it that don't invoke snow (which we don't get where I am in winter, even!). I can see purchasing it and using it in combination with the Waterfront set.
Here's what was used to make this card: Don't miss out on this great deal!
Why do I think every stamper should join?

Here's one of the cards we made in my Monthly Card Class this month. In honour of Father's Day on 1 September we made a series of "masculine" cards (though as I've said before, I believe there are plenty of men who like flowers, and plenty of women who like cars/tools/nature).
This card is a CASE (Copy And Slightly Edit or Copy and Share Everything) of one by Brian King, a fantastic U.S. Demonstrator who I've met a few times at SU! events. I changed up his colour scheme for my own amusement.

While it does come across as more "masculine" than the card I made with this set in this post, I really feel this is a card that would be appropriate for any one who likes bright colours.
The large sentiment is stamped with Whisper White Craft ink and heat embossed with White Stampin' Emboss powder. Cardstock-saving tip - we cut the black Stitched Nested Label Die piece from the centre of the Basic Black layer piece!
The Pineapple Punch layer is stamped all over with the balloon stamp in the same colour ink...great subtle texture. All the other elements are stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and fussy-cut. Here's what was used...click on a picture to go straight to my online store to order.

This is the card I made on my Facebook Live video last Wednesday. I've got a new team member, Lynn, and I made this for her!
I started off with a tour of my craft room - you can watch the replay on Facebook or on YouTube.

It's CASE'd from a tutorial by Cheryl Miller that is part of a monthly tutorial bundle offered by an international group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators. This one was in the July bundle, and you can purchase it by clicking the link.
I changed it up - first by rotating it to be horizontal instead of vertical like Cheryll's card, and then the sentiment which is from the demonstrator-only stamp set, Stamping Your Way To The Top. At the end of making the card I realised I had adhered the panel onto the card base upside-down, and wound up cutting it down and putting it on a So Saffron card base.
In the video I show you how I made multiple masks for the stamped flowers, which are used to cover them up while stamping the leaves to make them appear like they are behind the blossoms. It is an effort to fussy-cut the masks, but the results are so worth it!
For a bit more fun I made an envelope out of the Perennial Essence Vellum. I would totally put this in the mail, but in fact Lynn attended my class this weekend and I was able to just hand it to her.

Here's what I used to make this:
This card is a "reject" from my Masculine Card Class preparations. Nothing wrong with it - I actually really like it! I just had to narrow down the selection from the samples I made since we only have time to make 5 cards during the session. If you want to attend Tuesday's session of this class just click on the link to reserve your space by Sunday!
This card is a CASE of a card made by Barb Kapla. Usually I complain that the camera can't pick up much of whatever shiny details there are, but on this card the iridescence of the Grapefruit Grove Foil is more pronounced in the picture!
I like how this card can be used for either Father's Day or a birthday. The background images are stamped off before going on the Whisper White panel, which is then run through the Subtle 3D embossing folder. My card has an added Smoky Slate layer, while Barb sponged the edges of her Whisper White panel.

This card is a remake of the card featured in this post. I changed up the colours of the lacy cardstock and the birds, as well as the sentiment. Sometimes it's fun to play with aspects while keeping the general design.
Here's another set that I didn't order right away, but have since fallen in love with...Over The Moon! Here's my first creation with it:
The cow images are very cute, without being too cutesy IMHO. I had fund colouring it in with my Stampin' Blends. Also, hats-off to the savvy demo who figured out that the splotches in the Love What You Do make good cow spots for the frame, too! I'm looking forward to playing with this set some more.

The Everything Amazing stamp set is something of a "sleeper" in the Annual Catalogue. It's easy to get consumed by the gorgeous suites of products and miss the stand-alone stamp sets. But this one has a lot of versatility that shouldn't be overlooked. Here's my first play with it:
I pulled my colour palette from this piece of Garden Lane DSP: Mossy Meadow, Pear Pizzazz, Mint Macaron and Soft Sea Foam.
I've got several more ideas for using this set...so check back in to catch them all! Here's what I used to make this one:

Today I'm sharing the cards I made on last week's Facebook Live broadcast. You can catch the replay through Facebook or YouTube. You can also set notifications on either platform to get alerted when I go live or post a new video!
This is the feminine version of this card.
And this is the masculine version, though it could work for anyone!
This one added in some Vibrant Vases images, using the Stamparatus for multi-colour layering.
This card doesn't use Around The Corner at all, but does use the Stamparatus. I included it because I wanted to show the step-hinge technique. It's a CASE of my friend Tania Tobin's card. I changed up a few details to make it a bit less feminine. If you've watched my video you'll have seen that I didn't get it to work out correctly on-air, but I went back the next day and re-stamped and re-layered and got it right on the second try.
Here's a list of products used on these cards:
