I created this card for my godson, who is 13. I always seem to have trouble making masculine cards. I don't know why, but I think it is because I feel I can't use any girly embellishments such as flowers, glitter, and bling.
For the card below, I simply used pattern paper and punch out cardstock shapes. I used a few sentiment stamps as my embellishments, along with a small, heart button. And Voila! My take on a masculine card.
Do you have difficulty creating masculine projects? If not, any tips?
Hope you have a great week!

great card! and i am in the same boat -i have a hard time with masculine cards!
Just love the color combo for the card!!
Super cute card! Love the honey comb shapes at the bottom!
I think for me, I just generally don't worry about masculine. I know I have given my husband cards with butterflies and flowers.
But I guess for Evan, since he is ten, I will need to start going a little more masculine. He is at the age where he doesn't like "girly" :)
I hope your headache feels better!!
Oh man, I have a hard time with masculine cards too so no tips from me :) Your card is awesome! I love the hexagon shapes, that just might be the perfect, "go to" masculine shape...
Very nice card and I think it's a great masculine look. I tend to do lots of distressed type stuff when I'm doing masculine projects.
Very cute, and not too girly! I always have trouble with that too!
i like it! not too girlie at all! Yeah, I have trouble with that too - last night I did LO about DH and I think it ended up with doilies and a sequin - LOL!
I am the worst with masculine cards, AJ has just learned to deal with it. I love the design you used though, perfect for a masculine card! I hope your migraine is feeling better, I hate when one knocks me out.
Great card!
I too have trouble making masculine layouts and cards.
I can only use that sprocket die cut so many times...teehee
I have often thought of keeping a separate blog for masculine stuff only and invite others to post theirs.... I really should do it!
I think your card came out great! Loving all the hexagons everywhere lately
Love those hexagons!! Simple card, but so elegant and beautiful!
Great card, and appropriately masculine! I just try to choose masculine colors, whatever those are, and keep it simple, but you are right, masculine is a challenge!
Sweet card.
I think this can be for a male.
I have trouble with masculine cards. I seem to make them all brown, lol.
Love that yours is pretty but not girly.
