Challenge...wait for it...

I'm part of a creative group called Pie, Piano, and Poetry. Once a month, we gather together and share what projects we have been working on. The talent ranges from drawing and painting, to performance pieces, to card making. Okay, that last one is just me, but the point is that there is a wide variety of talent within the group. I enjoy going because the group is supportive and up-lifting. Oh, and there's pie.

Anyway, last month, one of the members challenged me to make more male-centric cards. I must admit, a lot of the cards that I create are a bit on the feminine side. Even unisex cards are scarce in my collection. So, in my mind, I told myself:

 

Here are the first of what I hope to be many man-y cards to come:

The photo frames are from a Tim Holtz stamp on vellum. The three brads in the bottom right corner are also from Tim Holtz and the sentiment are Amy Tangerine Thickers.

This card is really for a younger man, maybe to congratulate him on getting a driver's license or graduating. The patterned paper and car stamp is from My Mind's Eye Boy Crazy collection. The tires are just buttons and the black dots to convey the car moving are Crystal Elements Stickers.

Here is a cute card to give to boys of all ages. Both the patterned paper and the robot stamp are from My Mind's Eye. The robot is embellished with Crystal Elements stickers and the sentiment is done with October Afternoon's Mini Market Green & Cream stickers.
