Your favorite masculine card
I need to make some cards for my adopted soldier & I need help with card ideas for men. Do you have a favorite(s) masculine card? Please share.
|
There are a few in my gallery if you'd like to look..loves gail
|
I have a couple in my gallery, as well.
|
I tried to send you links but the gallery crashed on me - there are some in my gallery. Sorry you have to dig for them!
|
Here are 2 from my gallery:
http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...&ppuser=103425 http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...&ppuser=103425 I am always looking for good masculine cards, so thanks for this thread, I will check out all the postings! |
If you do a search in the gallery for certain sets, you will find lots of great ideas. For masculine cards, my favorite sets are: Noble Deer, Lovely as a Tree, The Back Nine, Set Sail, Angler, Nature Prints, Coast to Coast.
Here's one of my favorite masculine cards from my gallery that I made for my brother's birthday using Noble Deer: //www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=349423&cat=500&ppuser=7835 Hope that helps. :) Linda |

Unfortunately for me my DH likes bold bright colors and my Noble Deer just looks silly in yo you yellow, KWIM??? So I tend to make him polka dots or other simple designs but with big bright colors. He likes flowers too!
|
I was determined to make a masculine card from this set! Pailseys can be masculine!
Here's how it came out: Man-ly Paisley |

Loads of love - http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=75282 Lexicon of love - http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=75282 |
I also use Little Pieces a lot for masculine cards. There is a great one on the Little Pieces inspiration sheet (sorry I don't have a picture of one in my gallery).

Here are a few of mine. It definitely takes more thinking to do a masculine card:

Here is a card from my gallery using the ARTIFACTS stamps. I also used the Ranger "country cottage" alcohol inks for the background.:)

Always looking for masculin ideas. Here are a couple of mine--

Here is one from my gallery that is pending approval right now (as of 6:45a.m. AZ time)
http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=22306 And this one would work for a guy...matter of fact I gave it to a guy http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=22306 Here's one using leaves...I think anything with leaves and fall colors could work for a guy or woman http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=22306 Here's one with the vintage truck...you'd want to change the saying though. I did give THIS one to a guy but he'd just helped me fix my car and he's a brash kind of guy so I thought he'd get a laugh out of it. http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=22306 Here's one I made for my brother. http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=22306 Many "Tanks" http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=22306 There may be more in my gallery but I HAVE to go to work. I should be dressed and ready in 8 minutes and I'm still sitting here in my underclothes using SCS. Yikes! ;-) Jane |

Here are some from my gallery. My DH isn't into sports or hunting or cars, so I just try to go with a nature theme (we both love to hike and camp).
http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=48698 http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=48698 http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=48698 http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=48698 |
I think the best thing to do is search the gallery for "Masculine." Nature, sports, and any sort of transportation set work especially well. Some of my favorite sets to use for guys are: Lovely as a Tree, Close to Nature, Fantastic Foliage, Set Sail, Yukon, Fly Fishing and Calm Seas.
A few faves from my own gallery: http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...hp?photo=91769 http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...hp?photo=91760 http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...p?photo=191047 http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...hp?photo=84890 http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...hp?photo=80968 http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...hp?photo=80959 Heather |
Masculine Cards from My SCS Gallery:
I gave this to my FIL for a recent birthday. It uses the pear image from All Natural: //www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=461278&cat=500&ppuser=26422 This card features a greeting from Cheery Chat and uses scraps effectively (imo): //www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=461265&cat=500&ppuser=26422 This masculine card features the fern from Touch of Nature: //www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=434593&cat=500&ppuser=26422 From Other SCS Galleries (in My Favorites): This one by CrabbyAbbe uses the faux leather technique: //www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=76972 I love the color combo CrabbyAbbe used on this card. If you change the flower to a pear or some other less-feminine image it could work nicely: //www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=71649 This card by Indy_Patti has a very versatile layout: //www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=223031 I really like this striped birthday card by Christeena: //www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=258507 I like the colors in this card by cindy501: //www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=278919 |

:) GardenB-
Thanks for the compliment! You made my day--make that MONTH! As for the job--I didn't get it. He called to tell me that he thought I was "overqualified" and would be bored with the job, so he offered it to someone else. Can't argue once something is already decided. Got that same response at several other job interviews, too--but the good news is I START A NEW JOB ON MONDAY!!! And the interviewer called to tell me how beautiful my thank you card was. Even though I mailed it on the same day as the interview, she didn't get it until four days later. By then I had already been offered the job, so the card had nothing to do with it. But it was nice of her to call! (And maybe it makes her feel better about her choice). |
Sorry to hijack---back to everyone showing samples of masculine cards!

I have a really hard time with masculine cards. If I could sneak away and visit a Hallmark store (or the card section of Wally Mart) I could get some ideas!LOL But if my husband caught me I would be worse than dead. I couldn't buy any more stamp stuff!!!!!
Here's one from my gallery with Faux Metal. http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=52409 I made this one for DH for new years because he loves crab season. http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...showphoto.php? photo=437376&cat=500&ppuser=52409 One using Artfully Asian, not quite flowers? http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=52409 Two using Fantastic Foliage: http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=52409 http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=52409 These involve fishing and one was cased. Reference is listed. http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=52409 http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=52409 This one is totally masculine colored designer paper and very fast. http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=52409 Into Dragonflies and butterflys? http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=52409 http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=52409 A little bird?http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=52409 Ok I'll stop. Just this last one, would look good in blue too. http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=52409 |
Wow...thank you all for the great samples! You are all really talented. I knew you would inspire me. :)
