Hello Fellow Cardmakers
Today I have a lovely card to share with you. One that I'll give to a boy. Masculine cards can be quite tricky. I just went for a simple and easy card.
Masculine cards can be hard to make especially when you're used to blinging everything and choosing girlie colours. Masculine cards tend to be plain and simple. especially for beginners like me. colours are important too. Blues yellows Greens Reds Oranges Browns are common in masculine cards. The patterned paper used are more plain and simple, lines instead or swirls dots or circles instead of flowers. These are just some tips to help you guys with masculine cards. I hope it helps a little with your guy cards in the future.
First I got some backing paper and adhered it to my base with my ATG gun. I cut out the access using my tonic scissors. I grabbed some toppers from my stash and picked one I thought would be suitable. its tricky trying to find something not feminine especially when it comes to forever friends. They are so cute. I just hope this guy isn't too cute.
I used some PVA glue to stick my topper down and got some white card stock and stamped my sentiment with memento tuxedo black in. I stuck it to the top of my card. I love how plain this card looks and I hope the recipient will be happy with it.
The simplicity of this card is nice. Boys tend to not really care for bling or other accents on their cards. I bet any guy would be happy to receive this card
That's all for now

Hello and welcome to my blog today.
I have a cute card to share with you. I first got some white card and used my Fired Brick distress ink on it. I then stamped some poppies in Versamark ink and used Zing clear embossing powder and then used my heat tool. I love this technique and got it from Britta swiderski. Her videos and blog are amazing. If you've never heard of her go check her out on Youtube and on the website. She is so inspirational.
I bought a stamp a few months ago. when I saw it I had to have it. It was just so cute. I have no idea who the maker is or even what the stamp is called but I think it's just adorable. If anyone does know what company made this stamp I would love to know leave a comment below please.
I stamped the image using memento Tuxedo black ink and coloured it in using my promarkers. I didn't want to cut out the image as it looked difficult to get all the image without bending or ripping the card. so I decided to cut out a arch pattern. I coloured the background using a neutral colour promarker. I stuck the image onto my distress inked background.
For the sentiment I used a stamp and coloured the background with some vintage photo distress ink. I then stuck some self adhering gems on one side. I stuck the sentiment onto the background and then the background onto some black card stock.
I thought the card needed a little something so I got out my marabou feathers and stuck two behind the image using glue. I love using marabou feathers. It gives the card that little extra texture.
I think this card turned out fantastic and I'm really happy with it. Please leave a comment below telling me what you think of this card. I would love to hear from you, be it good or bad.
Well that's it for now

Hello Fellow Card Makers,
Thank you so much for stopping by today.
I've finally found some time to write a blog post. Time just flies by I have no idea where the time has gone. I've been doing some overtime at work and playing computer Games. The Sims 4 was released a while ago and I've been playing that a lot.
Today I have a quick card to share with you. I love making these cards as they can be made quite quickly so if you have a tendency to forget a birthday or not have any on hand to give. It's easy to make.
I used purple cardstock for my base and scored it with my Martha Stewart scoreboard and bonefolder. I used some patterned paper and stuck it to the base with my ATG gun. I used my sizzix big shot and a die to cut out a image of a butterfly. I stuck the body of the butterfly onto the card stock leaving the wings to be able to come away from the card. It gives it a little depth to the card.
I got an old ready made sentiment from when I first started and went over the edges with a purple Promarker. I adhered it to the card with my ATG gun. I felt the card needed something else so I got some self adhering gems and stuck three onto my card
I love how cute and simple this card looks. It's nice to have a few cards like this to give to people when you forget birthdays. I also would recommend not putting a sentiment on it until you know who you're going to give it to. I have a few sentiments ready made for cards. I can pick one when it's needed and write in the card straight away ready to give.
Please leave a comment below, I would love to hear from you
