Simple and Masculine
Filed Under Cards, Copics, Fathers Day, Taylored Expressions | Leave a Comment
I LOVE to make smple cards. But I always struggle with making masculine cards. Almost all of my stamps are floral sets and I am addicted to ribbon and buttons! So making Father’s Day cards is always a huge challenge for me.
This is a super simple card that I made for my Father-In-Law using the set Boys Will Be Boys by Taylored Expressions. I just stamped the image on Kraft cardstock and colored it with my Copic markers. The white layer on the card was run through my Big Shot with one of the texture plates from Stampin’ Up!
I am taking a picture of the card I made for my hubby right now. I will schedule it for tomorrow. Promise!!!!
Today the kids have swim lessons, then swimming in the back yard. In the afternoon we are going to do a craft together and hopefully work on writing their names. I am so happy to have my hubby home today. Maybe I will be able to sneak a little stamping time in! Have a great Monday!!!

Today my hubby and I are taking the kids to go see Horten Hears a Who. I don’t know why- but I love that movie! So I am excited. Nothing like buttery popcorn and M&Ms for breakfast!!! Then after the movie, the three older kids have a singing class with Parks and Rec. They are thrilled about it!
So I am taking a bit of a risk showing you this card today. See I always tell my friends to check out my blog. But I don’t think my non-stamping friends really look!!! So I am showing you a Father’s Day card that I made for one of my bestest friends. We’ll see if he listens to me!!!
I got this stamp set Boys Will be Boys from Taylored Expressions just for my Father’s Day Cards! I needed a more manly set or my hubby would be getting a floral Father’s Day Card!!!! I stamped the image on Kraft cardstock and colored it with my Copics.
