Inspiration for Male Cards…are you like me and struggle with this? Female cards are so much easier, I think, just simply from the choice of colours and pretty accessories available. Whether you are buying or making cards, the choice for men is a little limited.
I’ve been wanting to play with the Trusty Toolbox DSP since receiving it and finally, yesterday, I got round to it! Probably a bit late for Sale-A-Bration but hopefully these cards will give some inspiration for male cards. I’ve teamed this paper with a NEW Online Exclusive stamp set, Sweetly Scripted, available 5th March. This stamp set has six sentiments in decorative script including speedy recovery, save the date and anniversary. The greetings are perfect all year round!
