Masculine Give Thanks Card


Fall colors are wonderful to create masculine cards. So, take advantage of the season and join us this week at Cardz 4 Guyz for our theme Thanksgiving/Thankful. For my card I chose to use the Lovely as a Tree stamp set by Stampin' Up! It truly is a classic and perfect for masculine cards. I used the rock-n-roll technique for the leaves of the tree using More Mustard and Cajun Craze inks. The patterned papers are from the Sweater Weather collection by DCWV. I dug through my punches and found the leaf punch from Creative Memories. I added a touch of Frayed Burlap distress ink onto the leaves to darken the edges. The final details were adding the three Candy Dots and the Give Thanks sentiment from the Stampin' Up! hostess/freebie set called Good Greetings. The sentiment was punched using the word window punch and layered onto the modern label punch both by Stampin' Up! I kept the layout simple and let the paper and colors do all the work.

    Every time I see one of your fabulous masculine cards - like this one - I am reminded of my plan to make more masculine cards. How many have I made? None. You must have an awesome stash of male cards at the ready - I have to scramble every time I need one! Good thing the guys in my family like cats LOL. Well done, Andrea!

    You are right about the autumn colours being suitable for a guy, masculine without being boring. Love the stamp and the punched leaves. :)

    I like the design and colors -- great card for a masculine person - but I believe anyone would appreciate this pretty card.

    I've never been able to do this tree justice! I love the multiple colours of the leaves, and you're so right - fall colours are perfect for guy cards :)
