Hiya, today I have a fun card to share in my Cards 4 Men series. I love the finished look of this card but I realized one thing today, I’m not real good at waiting for ink to dry…. I know, I know, take a breath and just wait!

I’m still loving the really CAS Cards 4 Men at the moment, but it is fun to add just a little interest to take it to the next level and today that is a ‘Snowy’ beer, seriously! And ‘lots of it’ and you will find out why in my video….

As you can see the ‘snow’ definitely works well as a ‘froth’ for beer!
I’ll be back again real soon!

Most men I know (except my husband, who obviously knows better) don’t spend a lot of time perusing the birthday card that is given to them, so a great combination that works every time is to keep it CAS and to keep it fun! These Grumplings from Taylored Expressions fit the bill perfectly…

Back with another fun image from the Katzlkraft’s Les Jungles set. I finally got to play with the elephant (the reason that I bought this set) and what a cutie he is, he looks so un’happy’ that it’s his birthday so I thought it was perfect to have a bright cheery card! I decided to film the process, and there were a couple of hiccoughs along the way…. but you can see those for yourself lol.

Back with another image card in my Cards4Men series and today it was time to colour the monkey. For some reason I felt that ‘gold’ was needed and I’ve had the urge to create my own gold frame for a while now and today was the day, so I decided to share that with you in my video.

What is it about masculine cards, and why am I always running out? So for today’s video it is time again for another card in my ‘Cards 4 Men – Images’ series. And one technique that I like, particularly on men’s cards, is to use multiple sentiments. You can watch my video below to see what I mean…

Tight for Time? Then spotlight colouring is just the thing for you lol. It’s a total time saver ie. you don’t have to colour the whole image and it gives that fab pop on a card. I’ve filmed the process making this card to show just what I mean.

Back today with another Cards4Men video and today it’s all about the shadow, a ‘By Request’ video (yes, this is for you Ange). I’ve used Prismacolor Pencils on this card but you could apply this technique to any kind of medium… I just find pencils are the easiest for me to blend out. But with practice, anything is possible (well, nearly lol.) Remember, after all, it’s just paper!

I had so much fun colouring this character, I’ve got a new set of Polychromos pencils, but for some reason headed to my Prismas again. I know that I am just going to have to venture there soon…
…it’s just so much is happening around here, I’m moving my room around, I have a new computer, with a new computer program, new office 365 as well as a new video editing program, so needless to say, BIG learning curves happening here on the coast, and with lots of cards to make (wish me luck)!

Back with one of my fave series (and one of my fave ways to increase my masculine cards in my stash), and this time the focus is using ‘images’ on masculine cards! Today I thought I would start with this fun set from Waffle Flower called Tiger & Lily, and without further ado, let the series begin.
