Classy masculine cards...

 

Those of you who have followed my blog know that I struggle with masculine cards. 

Well, a short time ago, I pulled out some black DSP that had a silver stitch line running all over it. The stitch line is made with shiny silver thread sewn onto the card. It's really beautiful paper (I think it's handmade). I don't know when or from whom I got it, but it's been languishing in my stash for years.

I pulled it out and thought, "Why not make some masculine cards with it?" 

I decided to make two slimline cards so that I could feature as much of the stitched paper as possible.


I have a very retro-looking "Happy Birthday" die that I felt was just right for masculine cards. I cut it out of some silver holographic cradstock. It's really eye-catching IRL.

The silver dots on each side added a little more pizzaz to a very simple card.








This is the stamped sentiment I added to the inside.

So, what do you think? Would a man like this card?

They were both donated to the thrift store, so we will see if they sell.

I am trying to make more masculine cards these days, so hopefully I'll have more to share with you in the future.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

Yes, any man would like these cards. I'm pretty sure men like shiny things too. These are great. That is very unique paper. Love that inside sentiment.

Very nice - love the mice cards - just too cute. I struggle with man cards as well and I have one chemo male buddy. Went to one of my besties Monday and we made a couple of masculine cards with light houses. Have a a great 4th of July.
