I decided to get a jump start on Valentine's Day and found this cute idea for a card for my DH while flipping through the latest issue of On Stage. I changed the background and ribbon a bit to make it more masculine. Thanks for the inspiration Emily G!

Might as well be inspired by the best!!! I have wanted to case this card too--love the Print Pattern for the bg. It gives it a bit more "masculine" touch.

this made up really quick and really cute and quite acceptably masculine (i have three guys in my family). i found a cool substitute for the hodgepodge hardware (perish the thought i would actually use the stuff i paid good money for!). what i do is make two small slits in a small strip of c/s using a non-SU rectangle punch (handheld), center the slits, and punch out with a 3/4" circle punch. then feed the ribbon through the slits. tape the ends of the ribbon on the back of the card. probably not original, but i have used it several times with very cute results. love your card - i had the craft spots earth but not bold brights, so used ruby red. adorable!! TFS!
