The challenge this month at Whimsy Stamps is "Masculine Cards" - I will admit that masculine cards are not my "comfort zone". In fact, I struggle with them terribly. Especially "man" cards since it seems that most images fit for a masculine card are really better suited for "boys". However having said all that, I found working with these wonderful stamps and die cut from Whimsy Stamps made designing this card pretty darn easy. I also have to give credit to my mom who used this adorable layout for a baby card that I adore. So, between her design inspiration and the die cut/stamp set, putting this together was a breeze.
These stamps are designed with wonderful Christmas sentiments, but I love the way the frame part of it can be used for just about anything with a simple circle punch in the middle. I am all about using things as many times as I can and this allows me to use this for any occasion, not just Christmas.
Jump over to the Whimsy Challenge blog and join in the fun this month. I would love to be inspired by your creations as I am always looking for great ideas for masculine cards.
