Well I don’t know about you but I often find it hard to make a men's card. Not because Stampin’ Up! hasn’t got anything for the men, but just because there are so many pretty colours, ribbons, bling…Did I say ribbon?
So I set myself a goal to produce a men's card that incorporated ribbon and a little bit of bling!
And here it is…..
I used Marina Mist ink for the Scallop Square from the Punch Bunch SAB set, and punched it out with the Scallop Square Punch – I just love our punches!
The cardstock is Marina Mist, Whisper White and Certainly Celery. I added Certainly Celery 5/8” Grosgrain Ribbon across the centre of the Marina Mist piece of card and wrapped the ends around the back to neaten off the edges. I think flat strips of ribbon or a knot of ribbon does work well on a card for a man rather than ruffles or bows.
Using the Corner Rounder punch (No 41 Page 106 IB&C 2010-2011) i rounded off 3 out of the 4 corners on all of my cardstock. And in the bottom right hand corner just a small touch of Bling from the Rhinestone Jewels (Page 99 IB&C 2010-2011).
So there you have it, a mans card with ribbon & bling!
