We BEE Stamping TEAM Blog Hop featuring Masculine Cards

Hello and welcome to the We BEE Stamping TEAM Blog Hop featuring Masculine cards.

Do you struggle with making masculine cards? Making a masculine card is all about scaling back on florals, glitter and complex flourishes in favor of a clean, structured design. Focus on bold shapes, rich earthy/neutral colors and textures to easily create a masculine card.

I used the new Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper for my focal point. This paper has life vests, oars, buoys and bicycle images that evoke a lakeside getaway making it perfect for a masculine card.

My original card features Daffodil Delight and Night of Navy, but I changed the colors to Pecan Pie and Peaceful Pine for my video version. The greeting is from the Banners Sayings stamp set and popped out with the coordinating punch. Purchase the bundle and save 10%.

This basic layout would work for any occasion card, just change out the designer series paper and greeting.
