A Quick Masculine Card!

Today I thought I'd play around with a masculine design, given that I had a pile of boyish coloured scraps just sitting here waiting for me to use them.

My motto with male cards is to 'Keep It Simple' - boys don't care for all the fru fru bits and pieces that us girls like, so with that in mind, I just made a quick card using some star dies!


The dies are from Papertrey Ink, as are the stamps that I've used.  The DSP and cardstock are from Stampin' Up!

I think the card is pretty self explanitory, but if you do want to know something, just comment and I'll reply there!:)

Have a great day (whats left of it).  I've got to go and fold a pile of washing before picking the kidlets up from school!

Look at you, chick - you're on a roll! Loving these regular blog updates .... it has been FAR too long. This is a great 'guy' card. You can't go wrong with stars (and grunged-up ones at that) on boys' and mens' cards, and I love your colour choices.
Keep 'em coming! C x

You certainly haven't lost anything during your break from stamping. :) Love the layered stars, bright but boyish colors, and the punched detail in the top corner.
