Here is my next card in my Cards4Men mini series and like I’ve been saying it’s all about being bold and bright and cas…. colour blocking is perfect on a masculine card and a great way to use up those scraps of cardstock (because you know if you use them up it means you can go shopping again, really!).

Introducing Cards4Men and it’s Super (video)!
Welcome to my mini series Cards4Men! I’m so excited to finally have some ‘me’ time to create this as it was on my to do list this year and guess what, it’s July already, go figure. So I went to my card stash the other day and I really had no masculine cards to speak of so, opportunity seized and voila a card mini series was born.
When it comes to Cards4Men here are a few basic tips that work for me…
- keep it simple
- make it bold & bright
- use graphic design
- humour (they love this)
- and keep it simple
- use dedicated masculine stamp sets
- use plain fonts
- avoid bling, lace & ribbon (usually)
- and did I say keep it simple
I thought I would start with a fun card using some Super stamps from Paper Smooches, these images can be used for men young and old, and they are fun to boot!
You can see my video here or Watch it at Youtube.
