Check out the amazing sunset on this fishing card! With all the stamping done in black there’s no need to coloring in any images just add beautiful ink blending. I spotted this card on the Whimsy Stamps Instagram.
These fun shaped cards use layering stamps to create some serene ocean scenes with a boat or lighthouse in the distance. Take a closer look over on the Hero Arts blog, where you’ll also find some more ocean themed cards for guys who love the beach.
If you’ve got a handy man in your life this card fits the bill with lots of tools stamped on a layered kraft colored background. And notice how the tools line up across the layers of cardstock for a really clean and unique design. Pop over to Technique Tuesday for more details.
This fun in the sun card features a cool frog chillin’ by the pool on a half flap front that has another frog in the pool on the inside of the card. This is such an easy but effective way to add depth and dimension to a scene card. Hop on over to the Brutus Monroe blog for more info.
Kara used honeycomb solid and open shaped dies to create retro geometric patterns in blues, greens and browns on these 2 cards. Stamped and/or die cut sentiments finish off the designs nicely. I saw these cards on the Lawn Fawn blog along with lots of other honeycomb card ideas.
Here’s another fun fishing card featuring products from Impression Obsession. The die cut lures and bucket are cut from metallic silver cardstock and the fish are colored to look like trout. The stamped sentiment on a wooden shaped plank and woodgrain pattern paper “floor” adds even more of a masculine touch. Visit the Sweet Miss Daisy blog for a closer look.
If your guy loves to read to his little ones these card using stamps from Mama Elephant are so super sweet! Rina used alcohol based Ohuhu markers to color in the stamped animals in soft browns and greys and is sharing a video tutorial over on the Mama Elephant blog.
If you’re in the need for quick and easy cards you might want to skip the stamping all together and use things like pattern paper , stickers and pre-printed scrapbook die cuts like these 3 cards using supplies from Close to My Heart. A little stenciling and paint splatter adds some texture too. Visit the CTMH blog for all the details.
And lastly here’s a cool design for a dapper guy that likes to dress up. Behind the stamped suit are stenciled playing card suits, get the pun? 🙂 There’s also some funky stamped and colored sentiments. This is a journal page but could be easily changed into a card design. Visit Ranger Ink for directions.
I hope this post has helped you over come any hurtles to designing masculine cards!
