This year I’ve set myself the challenge to make a masculine card every month! This is definitely a challenge given that I don’t really like creating things that aren’t really ‘pretty’ – but I do have to give cards to the men in my life so it’s a good plan to get some done!
I have decided this will also be a series on my YouTube channel so please go check out the process video I made!
I made a fun distress ink background with stencils and the indigo blu stamps. Then I created the two panels for the slimline cards.
I then heat embossed the lightbulbs for the focal points in detail white and the same in the background using the baked texture Seth apter powder.
On the second panel I also added some patterned paper that I inked up too!
I also inked a panel for the inside with stencilling and stamping to link the front to the inside!
Love how these came out – and actually all things considered – I quite enjoyed making them which is a surprise given I don’t like making boy cards! 🤪
Happy crafting!

Such a great idea! I’m always short on masculine cards too and I love the look of these two
Thanks xxx I just find it hard not to add flowers or something sparkly which not many of the men/boys in my life appreciate so this is a real challenge
