Why is it that masculine cards are so hard to do? I think it is because we have to be so careful not to make it girly. The ribbons, buttons, lace punches, glitters and flowers are the fun accessories to use...but they don't always work for a man's card. I came up with a new accent by accident. I used bronze brads on my card and then decided to cut out my word window with the nestibilities label. As I rolled my card front through the cuttlebug, my eyelets flattened out making the heads look like nailheads. Cool!! Now I created a different look with my brads, but the card shouldn't have any problem going through the mail either! Hope this gives you a new thing to try! Happy stamping!!
WoW! Can you believe it? I'm posting 2 days in a row!!! Well as I said yesterday, I have been playing with old, but fun paper. I discovered that the flower background paper matches the turtle's flowered shell. How neat is that?! I used the sentiment from a Lizzie Anne set about flowers and mini Prima flowers as acents creating a theme around the paper. I love the long, large rectangle nestabilities. I use the long side to create a dainty scallop border. Here is a variation of the card using the black flowered paper.
This paper also comes in yellow. We have a few 8 1/2 x 11 sheets left. Come in a check out our large stock of fun paper. They can add inspiration to your card making!!
