Good evening blogging buddies…it has been awhile since my last post. I have had a busy week at work and havent made it on here up until now. Tonight I have two male birthday cards to share. I have made them out of necessity. I dont really like making male cards because you dont get to use anything pretty!
The first one is for Uncle Rod. He is a dermatologist and likes the plain, classy look so I tried to make a card like that. I used Next to Navy card stock and inked the edges with Craft White. I inked the Whisper White card stock with Next to Navy ink. I embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder and added some silver square brads onto the SU DP.
I thought I would enter this card in the Words – No Stamped Images challenge at Die Cut Dreams. And also in the Quixotic Challenge – Emboss it!
The second card is for my cousin Barry. I used a Dustin Pike digi image for a bit of a laugh on this card (to be honest – I was at a loss as to what stamp to use). I coloured with copics and put crystal effects on the water bits. I sponged Next to Navy and Old Olive ink for the background. I used a mixture of DPs on some Next to navy card and added buttons and linen thread.
This card I would like to enter in Dare U 2 Digi Stamp’s Challenge – One for the boys!
I hope to pop in and visit all your blogs this weekend and catch up on all the beautiful creations I have missed out on this week.
Have a fun weekend and thanks for looking!
I love them both Alicia, they are awesome!
Hi Alicia,
I do like your guy cards here especially the classy brown one. I have to say I had to double take as I read about your uncle the dermatologist as I read it that it said 'he likes pain'!! lol oops!

Great guy cards. The 1st is so handsome the 2nd a lot of fun. Have a wonderful weekend, hugs…
Wow, such a classy card. Thank you so much for joining the DCD challenge this week and good luck.
Hi Alicia
2 wonderful cards, really like the duck one so much, brilliant as always love chris xx
I hate making 'boy' cards! Great job on both!! I love the simplicity of the top one, and that Dustin Pike image is cute!
Have a great weekend, although it's nearly over! Short work week this week? How'd you go with the full week? Gee, I haven't worked since I was pregnant with my boys… would probably kill me… then again, my own kids are pretty challenging, especially with all this rain! We've had over 3 inches this week! The tank is overflowing and making a mess in the vegie garden, the kids are sick of being inside and it's impossible to take photos of cards! Can you tell I'm a little over it by now! lol!
Catch ya later ♥
I don't like male card either, but occasionally we have too!…. the two that you have done are very masculine. I hope you get more time to craft this week, so have a wonderful week ahead.
Fabulous take on our theme of no stamped images Alicia. Your sentiment,papers and layout are gorgeous.
Thank you for joining us at Die Cut Dreams.
Hugs,
