Hand Stamped Sentiments #119 - Masculine Theme

I don't know about you but my 'man card' slot is almost always empty in my card box!! If you are in the same boat, what better way to get a jump start on things than to hop on over to Hand Stamped Sentiments and play along with the Masculine Themed challenge this week?! 

I have 3 Dad's to make cards for this upcoming Father's day, so I couldn't stop at one, I made three (although 2 are the same)...

The grillin' Dad was fun to color and I used the cupcake punch to make the clouds.

The football card(s) are very simple and straight to the point, just like a man-hehe!. I picked up this EF not very long ago and I love the leather looking texture it gives off, so I thought a nice brown strip of it would resemble a football-something I really know NOTHING about, sorry.

If you have trouble with "man cards" or just love showing off your crazy card making skills, head on over to the Hand Stamped Sentiments blog to check out some masculine inspiration from the design ladies.

Game Night

My hubby called me last night and stated that our house was probably the ONLY house in the states, NOT watching the Super Bowl and he was right!! I was however making a card and decided to get in on all the game action with my paper!

I used this weeks Get Sketchy Sketch as inspiration, it was PERFECT for my little punched out helmets. Mind you, I'm not a sports fan, of any kind, so sorry if these colors aren't up to par with your favorite team.

I just finished whipping up a mini photo album to mail a special someone in my life and used a bit of the football paper, so I finished using up the scraps for my card, which allows me to enter it in this weeks Wee Memories Challenge as well, hooray!

The most manly EF I have is the one that looks like truck runner boards, I love it and thought it was the perfect touch with the game night sentiment, courtesy of my RETIRED Game Night stamp set.
