Masculine Cards for Guys!

Many people find it difficult to create masculine cards.  The best way to begin is to get into the right mindset — be open to the possibilities and try not to limit your thinking to what items you can actually use on a masculine card.  For some reason many of us come up with a creative block when it comes to masculine cards.  Often the first stumbling block is colour, try to use warm, neutral colours like browns and black with a pop of colour. 

In today's project  I have used Crumb Cake and Basic Black.

Another element to think about is patterns and / or images.  Images can set the tone for the card, they can be a focal point like the greetings I have used in today's project or even a background image for example a wood grain effect, which has been clear embossed to add texture to my project 

You can view the video below on how my project was created today

As you can see there are a many options for creating masculine cards, and this is just a small sample.  I hope this has helped you nudge any creative block you might have with regards to masculine cards and that you are now inspired to create.
