Making man cards is quite a challenge for me. I have trouble making them "manly."
One of Syd's favorite teachers is a man and his birthday was a few weeks ago. So, I pulled out my notebook of categorized stamp sets and began looking through it. Now, Mr. B is a football/athletic sort of guy, so I knew that my more cutesy stamps would not work. However, I didn't want to go with the sports theme.
So, I pulled out Circle Circus, this black and white hounds-tooth DP, some Old Olive, Whisper White, and Basic Black CS...and this is the outcome. I did cut out the little circles and glued them to the circles...it took a bit of time, but it add a neat element to the card. A few layers, some circle punches, and the corded button...perfect. It would have been a quick card if I didn't cut out the little circles!
I took the same stamp and made black and OO circles along the bottom edge of the envelope. It needed just a little touch of something...perfect with the card.
Try a "Manly" card today...Happy Stamping!
