I was looking to make a manly birthday card and the tag idea struck my fancy. I used an old die set, stitched wide tags along with some brick red cardstock and some navy to make this card. I think it looks very manly!

I really wasn't sure about these colors, but once I got started, I fell in love. I did add green stems and leaves, but since black is one of the colors, I used it for my neutral!

We had been playing around with background stamps and I had this daisy one sitting on my desk. I thought it would be perfect for this card. It's from TE as are all the papers and sentiment. The embossing folder is from Spellbinders.

These are some of my favorite colors together. I chose the kalidescope hexagons from Spellbinders and used each of the three colors, stacking them in different order. I love the depth these dies give. A touch of gold for a little sparkle was added.

I wasn't sure how I would like these colors together, but I do love this result. I used 1/2 inch strips of each color and after arranging them on hte panel, I stamped a woodgrain background with white pigment ink. I just love the distressed look this makes. All of the products used are from Taylored Expressions.

When I saw these colors, I immediately thought of a manly card. The background is a quad stencil from Taylored Expressions and the Beer Mug die is from MFT. I'm so happy with the way this turned out. I'm thinking of Son's birthday coming soon.
