Make It Masculine with Neutrals

Recently, I was challenged by a Stampin' Peace VIP Facebook follower to offer ideas for Masculine Cards that were not sports or nature related. Hmmm…now that one stopped me in my track. What would I do? What would products would I use? What colors would I use? Well…after some thought and a little help from some Facebook viewers, I came up with some great cards that I think you will like. These cards were created with Neutrals 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper and 2 different One Sheet Wonders – something I love to create and use in my card making. So watch this video demonstration from my February 9th Facebook Live. Then take a look at the One Sheet Wonders and masculine cards created with them.

I used the 6" x 6" One Sheet Wonder above with one 6" x 6" sheet of Merry Merlot paper from the Neutrals Designer Series Paper pack to make the 2 cards below.

Stampin' Up! Neutrals DSP (Crumb Cake &  Night of Navy) - Mary Knabe (1)The color combination of Night of Navy and Crumb Cake are so classic. I made the following 5 cards using 2 sheets of Neutrals DSP (1 of each color), cut with the very simple 6" x 6" One Sheet Wonder shown above. Seems I just can't get enough of 6" x 6" One Sheet Wonders! I just love them and find that they make my designing and creating so much fun…and easy!
