Quick Father's Day Cards

Hello,
 I bought the Guy paper stack last year and made these quick cards.  My favorite is the first one.  On the inside card I wrote  "save this card and you'll never be broke."

The Big Fish Card

Hello,

My neighbor (Rose) asked me to make a few birthday cards and three of them were for her brothers.  Male cards are not my specialty.   However, one of the brothers enjoy fishing and he owned a Jeep. I just happened to have this stamp.  Hope he likes it.


Thanks for looking! Have a great weekend!

Quilled Sail Boat

Hello Everyone!
I have another masculine card to share today. 

Can you tell it's a sail boat?  The right triangle shape was very hard for me to create.  These are the two best triangles that I got from my pile.  Note to self - need to quill more often. :)


Thanks for looking.  Have a wonderful weekend!

TriShutter Father's Day Card

Good Morning,
I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  Today I'd like to share another
male card.  This is a tri-shutter card.  I thought this card style is so versatile.

I really like this bird.  It's from Spring Song set.  The first card I made I had the bird inside the card so when I closed the card I couldn't see the bird.  So I made another one.  It  looks so empty.  I meant to add buttons but ran out of buttons.  I put the last three buttons on the brief case at the bottom of this post.

I couldn't help myself so I made a brief case to go with the card.  Handsome, isn't it?

The brief case is the pizza box style.  I just added the handle and the round tap punch.  Here is a brief case I did last year.  It was a match box brief case.

Wishing you a wonderful day!

Masculine Cards

Hello again friends,

Today I like to share these masculine birthday cards.  It's always been a challenge for me to make any card especially masculine card.  I met a blogger friend, hi Rachel, and Rachel told me that I should get embossing folders.  They are fast and easy for quick card.  I never own any embossing folder before I met Rachel now I owned a bunch.  Thanks Rachel!!  Check out Rachel's blog here.

 For this first card I just ran the embossing folder and the whisper white card stock through the big shot.  Then I stamped the star from retired holiday collection and hand cut them out.

 

Card Stocks: Brilliant Blue, Whisper White, and So Saffron

Ink: Chocolate Chip

The sentiment was from Fundamental Phrase.

Embossing Folder was from Cuttlebug.

I got the ribbon from AC Moore for $1 for a 5 yards spool and I was a happy gal to see it matched SU Brilliant Blue card stock.

 For this second card I inked up my brayer and brayed it on the debossed size of the embossing folder.  Then I placed the whisper white card stock in the folder, closed the folder and ran it through the big shot.  Check back tomorrow for the step-by-step tutorial.

 

Card stocks: Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip, and Whisper white

Ink: Chocolate Chip

Sentiment: Sincere Salutations

Large Oval punch and Small Star punch

Thank you so much for visiting!!!

Shutter Masculine Birthday card

Good Thursday Morning,
I made this shutter card a while ago and I thought I'll share it with you today. I thought it'd make a good masculine card. I should send this card for my brother's birthday since he likes to gamble.


Here is a view from the top.
Don't let this card fool you. It is very easy to make this card. I used 6 x 12. Score at 2, 4, 8, and 10. Fold along the scored lines. Then you'll make two cuts. Measure 1 3/4 " from the top and also from the bottom and cut from the 2" score line always to the 10" score line. Fold the middle section the other way and decorate any way you like. That's it. It's very simple.

Thanks for stopping by.
