So there you have it 7 different types of cards and 2 3D projects. These cards were really great and just goes to show that if you put some thought into it you really can come up with a great masculine card.

Some ideas to remember when creating a masculine (male) card is …

Use techniques like

  • Sponging
  • Spritzing
  • Thump ‘n’ bump or DTP (Direct to paper with your ink pad)
  • Crumpling
  • Tearing
  • Crimping
  • Distressing

Accessories can include

  • Hodgepodge Hardware
  • Linen Thread/Hemp Twine
  • Jumbo eyelets/eyelets
  • Twill Tape
  • Brads & Clips

Hope this helps you out a bit, have fun playing

Happy creating

Cherie
