Welcome to our Inspire - Create - Share Blog Hop for June 2025! So glad you are here! This month we are focusing on - It's a Guy Thing! I ALWAYS need masculine cards and they are tough - I lean toward flowers and pretty ribbons and embellishments - but those just don't work for our guys.
So check out my projects - to see my take on this theme - then hop on through all the other blogs listed!

One of my favorite ways to make masculine cards is to make some great backgrounds with our punches and DSP. The current Online Exclusive Woven Textures DSP is perfect for this type of card - so I will be sharing a couple of those I made.
First card uses many different patterns from this DSP and "To the Point Label" punch. But placing the punched images in a random pattern - it makes for a wonderful background. The stamped images are from the "Textured Notes" set.
The second card uses the "Labeled With Love" punch and for this one I just alternated the same two patterns back and forth.
I love both of these cards. To me they really have a masculine look - and by just adding a sentiment, some simple Linen thread elements; and the metal "Pressed Flower Motifs" embellishment - the cards turned out great. These embellishments may say flower, but to me they just have a cool pattern and the metal makes them very masculine. They are a bit on the heavy side, so probably wouldn't want to add more than three - but three is a great number!
