Ok everyone you have helped me with every question I have thrown at ya...don't fail me now. I need to make a fathers day card for a stamp camp I am having, and I have NO masculine stamps. Can you give me some examples of masculine cards? I wish we had a place in the gallery that was devoted to masculine cards, kids cards ect. It would be so much easier to help when you are looking for a certain theme. Thanks in advance I know you wonderful, talented people won't let me down.
I have lovely as a tree, print background, times and seasons, stippled shells but that is about it for non kid, non flowers. I have some background ones like big/little pieces too. I am willing to purchase a new set if I find it to be really useful. Thanks so much for your help
check out the gallery for lovely as a tree.....this would be perfect for Father's Day (maybe with the print background). The stippled shells would probably work too done in browns or navy.
I really like Seaside sketches for father's day cards too - The man with the little boy is perfect or you could add more hair and make the little boy into a little girl.
All of the circle sets are great for masculine cards, too! I second the vote for lovely as a tree. I also use an older lighthouse set, fantastic foliage, roughing it, and the pines sets (with a moose, geese, and bear) for masculine cards. Don't forget good old presents for birthdays, fun filled in masculine colors! Good luck!

There is kind of a masculine section to the gallery; just go to the gallery home page and do a search for the word 'masculine'. Lots of folks tag their cards with this word when it applies, probably because it is one of our bigger challenges and preoccupations as cardmakers.
A *lot* of cards come back, but if scan through the thumbnails you might see some current stamp sets that show up more often than others.
Stars and circles work well for masculine cards. I have done a search for *masculine birthday* and *guy cards* and get tons of cards. I just did a card today for the color challenge that could work for a guy card:
