Masculine Swaps

This was Alicia's Masculine swap card this month. She used creamy caramel, chocolate chip and really rust papers and ink, with the Autumn Leaf Prints and Warmest Regards Stamp sets. She roughed up the edges and wrapped up the leaf with some natural hemp. And, not sure if you can tell on the scan, but Alicia used the crimper on the piece of chocolate chip to give it another dimension. Great Alicia! Masculine designs are sometimes tough, or is it just that feminine is just so easy, or both!

I feel like going to Africa after seeing this card. Okay, okay, anywhere hot will do after all the rain we've been having lately. Bev made this card using the In the Wild stamp set, the Weathered Background stamp, and the It's your Birthday Stamp Sets. The colors are Sahara Sand, Always Artichoke and Black gives it that nice color separation accent. Nice Bev!

 

Robin made this one with the Polka Dots and Paisley, and All Year Cheer Stamp Sets. I like how the burgundy, so saffron and always artichoke colors go nicely together. Masculine or feminine for sure. The designer paper is from the Four Seasons package.

 

I just love these colors that Sonia used on this cards. Old Olive, More Mustard and Night of Navy. She used the print pattern background stamp and the All Year Cheer 1 stamp set. Brads are always a nice touch on a masculine card too. Not too frilly. This little dab of ribbon ties all the colors in too, and its from the Prep School Ribbon Assortment. Great Job Sonia.

Hope you, like me and my boys, are spending only a bit of time indoors today and taking advantage of the great sunshine we are finally getting.

Have a great day!
Happy Stamping!
