Masculine Cards

Hello and welcome back to another blog post. Today we will focus on masculine themed cards for both Christmas and Birthdays.

Masculine cards can sometimes be challenging but Spellbinders Paper Arts has wonderfully easy to put together die sets to help achieve such looks. It is even better when you can take one die set and create different occasions especially since they are at a higher price point.

Thanks For All You Do

 

Sometimes all you need is one layering stencil to create a simple card design and a bold sentiment to top it off! Todays card was inspired by the thoughtfulness of a family member. I hope she enjoys it as much as I enjoyed making it for her.

Layering stencils are a great way to add depth to your card in a quick and simplistic way. They are easy to use with so many possibilities!

Thanks For Everything

 Hey everyone! Gina K Designs has a monthly kit that is jammed packed with amazing products with an incredible value. With that being said, one of her kits included a pack of beautiful Ephemera sheets and coordinating die. I have never worked with Ephemera before so I thought I would challenge myself and incorporate them on one of my cards. Needless to say I love it! To be honest, I thought it might take away the handmade feel since they are preprinted images on thick paper, I was so wrong! 

Here is the final results!
