Masculine Birthday Card
Hello! I have another masculine birthday card to share with you. I had someone at church ask me to make a birthday card for them, and I'm thinking about giving this one to them. I'm still debating. I like the layout of the card, the colors, the background stamps used on the Whisper White, and the clocks. I also like the style/positioning of the wording in the greeting, but I would take out the "You're How Old?" I think the greeting is comical, but I always worry I'll offend people if I use stamps like that one. However, they wouldn't make stamps that say things like that if people didn't find them funny. Although, I'm not super sarcastic. I struggle with sarcasm and am always getting on my husband's case about his liberal use of it. So, that's why I'm still debating whether I'll give this card to the person who asked me to make a card for them. I do love this card, I just don't know if they're the kind of person who will laugh, or will think "I'm never going to ask her to make me a card again if she's going to insult my friends…." Guess I'll just have to feel it out first. Anyway… on to the card.
There are several products used on this card. The stamps used were Delightful Dozen and Clockworks. Inks used were Costal Cabana, Crumb Cake , Baked Brown Sugar, Sahara Sand, and Basic Gray. Papers used were Whisper White, Basic Gray and Crumb Cake card stock, and the Epic Day This And That Designer Series Paper. I also used dimensionals to pop up the clock, a sponge dauber to sponge around the edge of the clock, and the banner framelits to make the banner in the top right corner. I hope you liked today's card. Thank you to demonstrator Michelle for the idea for this card. Thanks for stopping by today, and I'll see you tomorrow!

The colors used on this card are Basic Gray, Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake, Gumball Green, and Very Vanilla.
I think this is a pretty masculine card. I know my neighbor will love it, it's right up his alley! Thanks for stopping by today. I'll see you tomorrow!

Masculine Valentine's Day Card
Hello! I know sometimes it can be hard to not make a valentine's card with red and pink, but for those of you whose valentine hates that kind of stuff, here's a valentine made by my friend Mayra, that's a little more geared towards the men in our lives.
This card uses the new Banner Blast stamp set and matching punch from the Sale-A-Bration catalog, as well as a greeting from the stamp set Teeny Tiny Wishes. This card is pretty easy, but I think it's a great card, whether for a girl or a guy. Thanks Mayra for the fun card! Thanks for stopping by today. I'll see you tomorrow!

Hello! Today I wanted to share a card that helps with what a lot of stampers struggle with: masculine cards. This is a card I received from Stampin' Up! demonstrator Carla Spradling. This card has lots of elements to it, but not are terribly feminine, making this card suitable for a man. I know I rarely make cards for men, but when I do, sometimes I find myself having a hard time making it exciting, without being able to use glitter, bows and flowers. This card simply uses stamps, embossing and baker's twine. The stamps used are from the set The Open Sea, and the wood grain paper is from the Natural Composition Specialty designer series paper pack, and the 'frame' around the card is dry embossed with the framed tulips embossing folder. The colors are always artichoke, crumb cake, early espresso (ink), sahara sand (ink), and naturals ivory card stock.
I hope that this will give you ideas next time you need to make a card for any of the men you know. Thanks for stopping by! I'll be back tomorrow!
