Happy Friday!
I'm sharing a quick and easy masculine Thank You card today. In general I think the most difficult part on a masculine card is to strike the balance that it is simple and clean enough for a guy card but at the same time interesting and fun enough as a handmade card.
For this one I'm using patterned paper from the Regatta collection:
The Regatta collection has a nautical theme but it can be used in so many other themed projects. I have made scrapbook layouts that are in no way related to the sea, beach, or even summer.
For this masculine card, I used one of the card sketches from Make it from Your Heart Vol. I. I used the wavy background stamp in the Jumping Geometrics set to create my own patterned paper for the background. Tone-on-tone stamping is one of my faves and I just couldn't resist it for this card. The sentiment comes from the set Stamps of Approval, which will retire end of this month. This set has five badge-like images that are great for card-makers. I'm sad to see it go but happy to make room for new products. :)
To add a finishing touch, I included a strip of silver shimmer tape. These shimmer tapes last forever (I'm not complaining!). :) They are a great helper to add a little something to any projects. I like that they last forever and are easy to use.
My card is entering the following challenges:
Inky Impressions - All about boys
The Paper Shelter - For the Boys
Crafty Girls Creations - Anything Goes
Through the Craft Room Door - Anything Goes
Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!
