The cards we find difficult

This is were we will all head when we have been asked to make the dreaded mens cards. Well i dread them anyway as i love crafting with girly colors. (Still loving the smilies)

I know mens cards are hard....I struggle with them too. As women we can send cute cards to other women and even if they are not into cute....it's ok. But for men we seem to be drawn towards cards aimed at their hobbies.....I was asked to make one for a friends brother...luckily he likes music....so here is what I made....I think it took me all of 30 mins to make.



Full details about the stamps are on my Blog....HERE

Thankfully she was pleased with it....and I was pleased as I don't enjoy making male cards as much as female cards.....young boys are ok....the older they are the harder the cards get.

That is fab Caz, (as usual)
I always find with mens cards you are very confined to what you can use, i.e No flowers, ribbon, bling!!!! All the things i love!!
So we are stuc to the usual men colors and hopefully he has a hobbie we can intergrate into the card!!! But then again when i am shopping for stash i always go for the girlie stuff.

The best thing is to replace ribbon with string, bling with buttons, flowers with paperclips or other clips.

I have to make a card for my Dad tonight as tomorrow is his birthday and we are going to visit and take him out for lunch....he doesn't have a hobby unless you count beer...LOL He also like Horse Racing....but don't ask me how I can incorporate that into my card...LOL

Fabby cards Caz, and thanks for the tips (replacing ribbon etc), I'll have to remember them

Great Cards Caz, Hope your Dad enjoys his birthday.
You cant really go wrong with Music Themed cards for men, as most of them would like some form of music, or is that just me who thinks like that ?.

Here is a card I made for my Dad who's birthday was yesterday. Full details are HERE.
