Masculine Cards

Making the right card for a man can be difficult.  Whether giving or receiving cards, most men seem to prefer cards that are not too feminine, not too flowery and not too plain either.   So, I thought a masculine background with muted colors might work.  Here are two cards I made yesterday.

 

 

Materials:  

card stock - black, light khaki and burnt orange 

ribbon - off white raffia

stamp - Technique Tuesday Greenhouse 09-12

embossing folder - Darice

                   

 

Materials:

card stock - black and light khaki

Washi Tape

stamp - Rubbernecker

embossing folder - Paper Studio

Both of these cards are clean and simple and quick to make.   I think most men would like either of them.

Notice the Washi tape on the second card.  This is my first time using Washi tape.  I love it.  Costco had a revolving tray with lots of tape in different colors and patterns -- couldn't pass it up.

Are you ready for Valentine's Day?

Take care,

Kathy
