saturday...Masculine Card Set with HC stamps

I hope that you are all having a great weekend! Spring has definitely arrived here in Orlando, Fl! It has been raining for 3 days now but I do see the sun trying to peek through!

Today I have a set of masculine cards that I made because, well, you can never have too many masculine cards with a family of 5 brothers between my hubby and I! I have always had a hard time working on masculine cards and even layouts but I've noticed that as I do them more often, it comes easier!


I used Heartfelt Creation's latest release-Sweet Serenity Collection! Did I mention that i loved this release? It's so versatile! So far, I've made pretty girly layouts (you can see them HERE and HERE) but I'm working on an Easter card for next week and now I made these very masculine set of cards. I used the Tranquil Evening PreCut Set and the Natural Beauty PreCut Set for these cards. I used the same design and just changed up the stamped image, which I stamped on light brown cardstock.


Here's a close up of one of these cards. I left them blank so I can use them for pretty much anything. I added some greenery, a blue button and a die cut cardboard star. I inked and machine stitched everything to give it a cohesive masculine look. I just love how they came out!

Thanks for stopping by! Come back tomorrow as I'll be sharing another one of my Use you Scraps layouts. You don't want to miss this one! :)
