Title: Men & Women
Hostess: Karen (kthaman)
Keyword: SEP13VSNMINIB
Day/Date: Friday, Aug 2nd
Time: 6:00pm EST

When I think opposites, I think about how I approach creating cards for the different genders. For me, I have a set of rules that I follow. For instance I never use lace on a masculine card (that doesn't mean it can't be done - I just find it easier to avoid it ;) ).

Translating that into a challenge was actually pretty easy...

My challenge is to create 2 cards using the same stamp set, but make one of them masculine, and the other feminine. Of course, your cards can be for adults, teens, or children - as long as one is masculine and one feminine.

Bonus points for incorporating any of the following (but NOT required):

• Using the same image (not just set)
• Using the same layout
• Choose a stamp set that is more one gender than another (i.e., a floral set).

Need help? Here are my rules (this is NOT the only way, just how I work):

Masculine:

• Texture patterns (i.e., woodgrain)
• No pink or purple
• No ribbon (twine is fine)
• Distressing

Feminine:

• Pink
• Lace & Ribbon
• Flowers
• Scripty fonts

I don't include everything on the lists, but they are my starting point.


I can't wait to see what you do!

Great challenge Karen! This sounds like a lot of fun. :)

Thanks! I hope you're able to join in (you have a few days before the deadline!)!!

Yikes! I wanted to play live, but 7 year olds just don't wait! I might have chosen a sketch without the angle to keep my time down a bit.

Thanks for an interesting challenge, Karen! I used the same stamps but just changed up the hardware to make one a little more "girly" than the other but they are pretty much identical. I was going to try to make them more different but had an interruption during the timed challenge (as I'm sure that has never happened to anyone reading this message ... kidding! ;-p)

I used a DTGD challenge to go for all the bonus points you're offering, Karen!
1 hour for two cards was pretty good, too - and an extra bonus for me is that now my FIL's birthday card is all ready to go. This was fun!

Good challenge. I'm sure it would be very difficult to make masculine and feminine cards with some sets. Here's my attempt .

Here are the cards I made for this challenge...hope it is okay that they appear in one gallery post.
