As you can see, I don't believe masculine cards need to be all tools, cars, and dirt (though some of my man cards definitely do fall under that category). They can just be lovely elements put together in a way that hints at masculinity. I hope this inspires you to create some of those tough man cards, and if you're in the area feel free to sign up for the class at A Walk Down Memory Lane. Now, I'm off to prep some class kits for a Christmas Card Class for Saturday!

Lots of Fun Classes
Lately it feels like I've been spending most of my free time working on projects for my upcoming classes. I just finished up my samples for a Masculine Card Class I will be teaching on Saturday, November 7. So many people find it hard to make cards for the men in their lives, so this is a class dedicated to those hard to make cards. What's fun about this class is that it also focuses on specific tricks and techniques that people may not have tried before. For example, the card I'm going to show you today is from that class and focuses on a fun bleaching technique.

Fancy Pants
It's just fun to say, and the All Fall paper line is a recent favorite of mine...ahh Fancy Pants! In honor of World Card Making Day Fancy Pants is having a card contest. Click here for more info. Since I'm having so much fun with the All Fall papers from Fancy Pants right now, I figured I just had to play along. My only problem? I didn't have very much paper left. I used most of it to create a card class I'm teaching at the end of the month. So, this turned into a double challenge for me, create a card using some Fancy Pants paper and do it with a limited amount. What do you think?
Here's another angle so you can see how much texture this card has.
If you want to see the whole, very lovely, very versatile All Fall line (so you can see why I love it so), you can click on this link to A Walk Down Memory Lane and see it all.
Now for the details:
I used Bazzill's flower stitching template to lay out my holes for hand stitching the large flower. I then filled that flower in with my versamark marker and sponged blue chalk on top. The crocheted flower is from My Mind's Eye. I sewed a button from Autumn Leaves in the center of it. The flower stem stamp is from Heidi Grace's A little Bird's Tale. The "thinking of you" stamp is from Stampin' Up!'s Teeny Tiny Wishes. The corduroy button and ribbon are also from SU!
I'll see you all tomorrow for another Tuesday's Terrific Technique!
