 I made a couple of masculine Valentine's cards today.


Here's the pin.

Nuts About You, Really Good Greetings, Maggie Mata, #masculine, #handmadecards, Stampin' Up!

I made my "nuts" out of punches,  I am not sure how the "originals" were made.  About the only thing I did different is use a embossing folder for my red layer.  My son said he liked that touch. My sentiment is, of course, different, too. 

Ingredients:
Hero Arts Trees, Birds and Sentiments stamp
Creative Memories 1.5" hex punch
Stampin Up .5" circle punch
Darice steel plate embossing folder
white, red and black shimmer card stock
DCWV silver metallic card stock

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

http://www.addictedtostamps-challenge.blogspot.com.au/2015/01/challenge-129.html until 2/2 (C10)

http://moo-mania.blogspot.co.at/2015/01/masculine-maskulin.html until 2/10

http://cutitupchallenges.blogspot.com/2015/01/national-braille-literacy-month.html until 2/3

I made two versions of this card.


I didn't have an "xoxo" stamp (that I could find anyway...I am only half way through cataloging stamps) so I used a new CTMH Alpha set.  The lower case fit in the squares better but I like the fancier upper case so I tried it that way, too.


Here's the pin!

Good idea for wash tape-cute card

I hand cut the little tag.  Let me know which version you like best and I will send a little candy in the mail!  I will choose among those who ANSWER the question and must also be a follower!  Winner announced this week!

    Oh I agree with your son, I like the EF you used on the Nuts about You card too. Super cute! I like both of the XOs cards but the larger print works better with my eyes. LOL! Very cute cards.

    Great cards!!! Masculine cards are so hard for me!! I love the embossing you added to the red layer! Your hashtag cards are both great, but I like the top one a tiny bit better!!
