The Vintage Veranda & Hero Arts Masculine challenge


Via Louise I heard about this new site and as I love vintage I will pop over now and again when time allows! Go have a look!
This is a card I posted on there, with an ATC.



These cards I posted for the challenge on making a masculine card on the Hero Arts website for this week. I NEVER make these but now I rather like too! I think I believed that men didn't like receiving cards but my DH told me I was completely wrong and that men DO like receiving cards!! Actually they can be made in a real rough and tumble way..

I just stapled the corrugated paper to the card stock after I had sewn the button over the tag to keep it in place on the second card. For the first card I just happened to have blue corrugated paper stacked away as I didn't think it would ever come in handy, but it has.

Have a great weekend!

    FABULOUS idea for making masculine cards. That corrugated paper just shouts MANLY. And it's simple and inexpensive too!
    Thanks for the pitch for the VV, too!

    Beautiful designs. I absolutely love the top one. The colour mix & the stamps used are fabulous.
    Great masculine cards too, these men are always a struggle to make for but thankfully there are only two in my life my Dad & my BIL.

    Weer zo mooi! Ik zit altijd hardop commentaar te geven als ik langs de verschillende blogs surf. Het is mijn mannen hier opgevallen dat ik bij de jouwe altijd ademloos: oh wow...zit te zuchten, hahaha

    Your cards are always so beautiful and vintage... I wondered what you would do with a masculine card... and now I know and they are still gorgeous and manly. Great cards.
