and that challenge was Men's cards!
Helen was our Stampers 10 hostess this month and she asked if we could make some masculine cards. Well my jaw hit the floor at first because I don't know about you but I always find these difficult so shy away from them.
I now have to say a big thank you to Helen because I am loving thinking up different ideas, and have many more manly card ideas to try out now.
So whatever the challenge, give it a go, you will more than likely be pleasantly surprised!
Here are the cards that we made:
The stamp set used is Cheers to you, the frothy beer tops are mounted on Stampin' dimensionals which doesn't show on the photo. The Designer paper is the yummy Summer Picnic . Finished off with a piece of Old Olive grosgrain and a jumbo eyelet. These look great on masculine cards.
Not a great picture but this card uses Forest friends, sanded background and a simple Old Olive and Chocolate Chip colour scheme.
I just love the old style hodgepodge hardware in the pewter, it adds just the right touch to men's cards.
A little bit of doodling to finish it off.
The photo below shows the card opened up, and has much better lighting.
I think I will have to make a little photography tent ha ha!
That's about all from me today but I would like to finish by wishing Lisa good luck with her Open House today.
Happy Stampin'
