Cards for men

Three cards, lots of recycled stuff, as usual:



Top one I copied from Pinterest: great for using up scraps - embossed panel and the five banners. Wouldn't normally put 'with love' on a man's card, but it's my oldest friend's birthday. Bottom left is the 'negative' from a flourish die-cut, mounted with white behind and then a silver mount, HB also mounted on silver and two silver gem things (well, not gems, just domed circles). Bottom right based on a gold and black panel I cut from a used card, with a recycled HB mounted on gold and three gold gem things. Both cards are a pearlised black, but it doesn't show up on the scan.

Hope there's some inspiration there: I know we all have trouble thinking up cards for men.

Smashing. I do like what you've done with the top one.

yes very nice, mens cards are so difficult

Three great cards, thanks for sharing.

Like all three, so nice ideas.

Men need a bit of love too Lynda, why not.
I love these ideas for using up scraps, but they don't use up enough of them do they. A nice way of using those tiny bits of 'too nice to throw away' paper though.
I have fantasies about getting some similar cards done while Mick and I are at home. If I'm switched on I'll get a coule in kit form to take to Addenbrookes as I'll have quite a wait there.

These are great ideas for men

Great cards Lynda and I love the way you recycle things. I have a boxful of 'useful' bits that I don't seem to get round to using very often.

You must dive into the bits and pieces and see what you can come up with, Cath.

Great cards love the 2nd one
