Great card! I don't do as many manly cards. They are more difficult.
ReplyDeleteKerry
Love the sentiment for this card. I like to make manly cards. I am the mom of 4 boys.
ReplyDeleteI love this card. It looks just like my dad! I always remember when I was little he would say, "Go get my toolbox." Great memories.
ReplyDeleteRoxanne from Yale, Oklahoma
Fab toolbox...love this one!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool card you are truly one talented gal and always find the cool pairs when it comes to stamps and Cricut WOOOO HOOOO for you!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a coool prize
Such a cute card and saying! I do make several cards for my man, when he travels, I put a card in his suitcase. But they really aren't manly cards, they are "love" cards!!
ReplyDeletebdcampers@msn.com
Cute card! We use that statement a lot too...so funny. Such a cute stamp set too! I don't really make that many masculine cards I guess. My husband does not understand my paper craft addiction and fun. So I really only send to my older brother who always acts thrilled;) aren't older brothers the best? Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

I love the girly cards, but have mostly men to make cards for, so the more things you come up with, the better for me. I just feel that they are more difficult to do. Thanks.
ReplyDeletei'm always looking for ideas for masculine cards. this is really cute!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this, Joy! That is the perfect sentiment with this cut! Super cute!!!
ReplyDeletevery cool, love that sentiment with the image!!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I do not make many masculine cards. I find them difficult to make!
ReplyDeleteRa6352 (at) gmail (dot) com
What a cute card! I like that you are doing masculine cards now - it is helping inspire me to make some of my own. The masculine cards I have made are mostly masculine because of the color choices. Your masculine embellishments are really cool!
ReplyDeleteNot that many men that I make cards for these days but I still like having a few designs for special occasions that call for a masculine cards. Thanks for all your ideas.
ReplyDeleteLoved this card!
ReplyDeleteCute Father's Day card! Love the sentiment!
ReplyDeleteI actually do make a lot of cards for men ~ my father-in-law, two brothers-in-law, hubby, and two sons. I think I still make more "girl" cards, but seems like there's always one of the guys in my life having a birthday, etc.
I do not make a lot of manly cards but I do need some ideas! They just don't come naturally to me--I am better with bows and pink LOL!
ReplyDeleteI love this card! I do make manly cards, but it's always a challenge...I tend to gravitate towards frilly girl cards....I am always looking for ideas to inspire me for the man-cards I need to make. Thanks for sharing this cute card!

I have my father's day card made, and it is always a struggle. Love this card!
ReplyDeleteGreat card! I always struggle with manly cards, but manage to get them done! :)
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on this card. This would be a great card to give to my husband as he's always working on something that requires tools. I usually don't make too many cards for men -- just birthday cards and Father's Day cards. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteThis card would be perfect for my husband! I'm so lucky because he can fix just about anything!
ReplyDeletecute card. We used to say "he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer". Both are great!
ReplyDeleteI don't make nearly enough cards for me, always unsure of the type of image to use unless I know the person really well and their interests. Same with get well cards for guys - I find them difficult too! Thanks for a chance at some goodies!
ReplyDeleteLove this card...always hard to do a male one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway....thanks for giving us the chance to win!

I can't say that I make "a lot" of cards for men but, I do make some. I frequently stick with nature /outdoorsy themes for them as the guys in my life all like to camp and such.
ReplyDeleteI just have a few manly birthdays each year and that's about it. I do enjoy creating cards with a masculine bent, though. Love using gears, keys, washers, etc.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the chance to win such a fabulous prize.
I don't do a lot of manly cards for myself, but I make cards for Operation Write Home and I try to make a least 35-40 cards for men in each batch I send in. Manly cards, for me, are not the easiest to make.
ReplyDeleteLove that tool box! I do make a lot of cards for men. So many, in fact, that they should be easy for me--but they're not! Thanks for the chance to win these stamps. They would be a big help.
ReplyDeleteLove the card and love the give away as it is a great way to break into making cards for the guys! I would love to give it whirl!!
ReplyDeleteTotally Cute ! love it!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day,

I need to get a stamp set like the "For the Boys" set then I would probably make more masculine cards.
ReplyDeleteSuper card - and such a fun sentiment to go with the image!
ReplyDeleteI make a fair number of cards for men but more for women and children.
I go blank when it comes to masculine cards!! I love the Scrappy Moms set though. That should help give some inspiration, got to get it!!!
ReplyDeleteWith a hubby, a dad, a FIL, 2 sons and 2 grandsons, I make a ton of masculine cards and actually prefer those to any other type of cards I make. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the masculine card idea!
ReplyDeleteSharon V.
I don't do too many manly man cards. I try to make some that aren't too girly, so they can be for either!! Thanks for the great giveaway!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute card, I don't do many masculine cards but am thinking about it, thanks for the inspiration,
ReplyDeleteand for the change to win.
Cute stamp set for men. I haven't made many masculine cards. It is difficult for me to come up with ideas! So I am looking forward to your creative ones!! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI use the Fathers Day cricut cartridge almost exclusively for all my masculine cards - it is so versatile for birthdays, fathers day, anniversary or just because. The sentiments in Scrappy Mom stamp set are perfect for this cartridge too - might have to get me that one! Look forward to seeing some more samples.
ReplyDeletesaphi@bell.net
I just love your card and in answer to your question, I don't make many masculine cards and that is because I just can't seem to come up with any good ideas (now I have one, thanks to you).
ReplyDeleteLove the texture on this card.

I've got two terrific men in my life and making cards for them has been challenging indeed!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Love the stamp set too!
ReplyDeleteI really like your card. Even tho two of my six children are male, ten of my 19 grandchildren are male, and ten of my 18 great-grandchildren are male, I STILL find masculine cards a challenge! Thanks for your ideas.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful card for any man. TFS.
ReplyDeleteI make a few cards for the men in my life.
The hubs, four brothers and father-inlaw.
I usally make them pretty basic since I'm sure most of them get recycled EXCEPT for my father-inlaw.
I found out a few years ago that he keeps each and every one. He has them all displayed on shelves he hung around his house. What is hard for his is to try and remember which designs I've used or not used. I started keeping a picture of his cards in a special file now to prevent repeats.

I took an online His & Hers class recently. It really helped me to see how to masculine-ize cards that look to much like for a female. It was a great class.

Manly card ideas are difficult. These stamps are amazing.
ReplyDeleteI love the toolbox. I have made a lot of manly cards for my office before I retired in Jan. Mainly I used SU stamps, but have used Cricut Handyman for a toolbox and Wildlife with the deer and bears. I have made fishing, wildlife, computer and car/truck cards.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors....so retro!! Thanks for sharing, I love opening my email in the morning to find your newest post. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this post. I will have to get back to the Dollar Tree for some of those wonderful plastic cups. I bought the heavy beer glasses and etched them for my son-in-law's bachelor party. Etched a wolf, I think from Animal Kingdom and up the guys names and the date of the party. My son-in-law loved them!!! Then put pink vinyled initials on wineglasses for my daughter's bachelorette party!!
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time making manly cards. It's prob all in my head. LOL Thanks for the inspiration. --C
