Ask and you shall receive. I’ve been hearing for so many people lately that they need more masculine card ideas, so here you go. First, please know that any card you see can be made masculine by switching out the stamp set or bundle for a masculine themed set like fishing, sports, airplanes or nature. But, I get it, you may not have those kinds of stamp sets and bundle. So my go to for masculine cards is often nature images – trees, leaves, mountain scenes, etc. – and masculine colors such as blues, greens, grays, and browns.
In this video, I’m introducing you to a Fun Fold card that I learned by CASEing a card I received from my friend and fellow SU! Demonstrator Tammy Fite at OnStage. It’s such a quick and easy fun fold that you are going to love and want to use over and over. Plus, my focus is to show you how to make this Fun Fold with masculine vibes that the special guys in your life will love receiving from you.
My first card has a black & white nature theme featuring the Textured Notes Stamp Set & Dies with the Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper. The second card I make for you features the Take To The Sky Suite with a classic airplane theme and colors in blues, grays, and clay colors. I know you are going to love this quick and easy fun fold card that you can tailor to any person or theme you want to create a card for!
So go ahead and watch my video tutorial now, then enjoy the process of creating something special for someone special!
