I’m excited to share this card with you today. It was made by Tamara Burton, a member of my Candy Hearts team. It was her swap card at our June team meeting. Tamara has enjoyed scrapbooking for years, then added making cards to her repertoire. Her paper crafting skills are amazing!
Oh dear, I just noticed I misspelled her name in the watermark on the above photo. It’s Tamara. not Tamata! So sorry, Tamara!
Why are cards for guys so hard to make? We all struggle with them. Maybe it’s because most paper crafting products are more feminine, with lots of florals and the like. Maybe it’s because most paper crafters are women. Whatever the reason, we always need ideas.
Tamara used the new By the Shore Designer Series Paper to create this card that’s perfect for any guy.
When you first look at this DSP you might think about cute kid cards, or summery/beachy cards. But Tamara saw past that and used the multi-color striped pattern for a guy’s “shirt.” Coordinating card stock completes the look with a bow tie and buttons. Brilliant!
The Rose Wonder stamp set may seem very feminine, but the script Thank You is perfect for this manly card.
Thanks to Tamara for allowing me to share her card with you today!
