Masculine Cards With Texture


So many people find making cards for boys and men, that much more challenging than the ones they make for girls and ladies.
Most of my family are males, so I need to practise a lot, especially when I don't have a stamp relating to their current interest. Between them, there are a LOT of interests! We have surfing, bodyboarding, snowboarding, cycling including BMX racing, stop-motion video making, drawing cartoons, bonsai, general gardening, wood turning, resin moulding ...... but not too many stamps fit those interests -LOL!



The texture folders in the new Stampin' Up! Annual catalogue are fabulous for all sorts of cards but particularly masculine ones. The Misty Moonlight card shows the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder, In Good Taste designer Series paper, a big sentiment from A Grand Kid, a new stamp set that I just HAD to get!

The video link shows you a 20 minute video making the card below the link.

On the Cinnamon Cider card, I've included the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder, Beautiful World stamps and the reverse of the In Good Taste DSP. There are differences between the two Cinnamon Cider cards, because everytime I make a card, I change something up, unless they are for a swap. The patterns in the In Good Taste DSP are so varied that they will be useful for all types of cards. Imagine the blue tiles with a jar of sunflowers in front. There is a pretty pink fabric included in this paper range as well, so plenty of options for males and females.



I used the 'happy birthday' from Itty Bitty Birthdays on all three cards, that stamp set has something for every birthday. Now I'm feeling all inspired to go try out this card 'map' with some other papers I have in my stash.



Just at the moment, my two favourite In Colors are Cinnamon Cider and Misty Moonlight, and I thought you might like to compare them with colours we already have.

Please check out the NEW online store, no one will pester you to buy while you're there, just browse to your hearts content. If you choose to shop with me , I'd be very happy to make your experience a good one. I like to send a card, and if your order is less than $250 and you use the Host code, I share the host dollars with you, so make sure you allow me to contact you.
