What on earth do you put on a card for a man who has no particular hobbies/interests? I mean, if they don't golf, or fish, or like football, they can be so difficult to design for. I don't have anybody in mind for this card, it was just a personal challenge to see what I could come up with. This one came about by accident. My thursday craft group had set themselves a challenge to use 'buttons'. I had just bought this plaid paper, and thought it would be perfect for a bright and cheery Father's Day card.
The tree was cut at 3", and I used my distressed stripes embossing folder to add texture to the pinking shears circle.
The sentiment is by Craftwork Cards
the teensy buttons are by Dress-it-Up from Jo-anns
Now then, how would you Cricut owners like to win all four of the new Cricut releases?Cindy Loo, Freshly Picked, Wall Decor and more, and Mini Monsters
That's the prize that's up for grabs over on the Scrappy-go-Lucky blog this week. We are having an International blog hop, each day a different member of the design team will be posting a creation inspired by her country, and a clue. Collect the letters from each blog daily, solve the anagram at the end of the week, and enter for the draw to win the cartridges. In addition, each of the design team will be giving away 10 Cri-kit gel pens and holder, to a random winner drawn from the comments left on her blog (the winners will be able to choose which set they want).
So there you have it. I am busy working on my card, which will be shown right at the end of the hop on Saturday, when it will be my turn to give away some pens. So start hopping, I would love it if one of my blog buddies won the grand prize
Good luck
This is a perfect card for one of those difficult guys!! I love what you did with the tree! Masculine cards are just so hard! Wow, what a awesome giveaway! I would most certainly pass out if I was to win hee hee! I'll be sure to hop along just to see if I get lucky who knows!
ReplyDeleteA great fathers day card, I love the paper piecing, and the lovely bright colours. Pauline xx
ReplyDeleteCrikey that is a challenge. I do mostly personalised cards and when I ask for info on the recipient and they say...just do anything...I cringe! This is just great Enfys, love the idea. Will definitely join the hop, really need some new cricut carts lol. Hugs

WOW...it's been a while since I have visited you...You have really come up with some AWESOME creations! Love this card, guy cards are so hard for me and this one is perfect! I'll be back to soak up some for the inspiration you give...I sure won't be soaking up the Florida sunshine...we've have terrible weather here in Orlando! Hope you enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteGreat colours, I would never have thought of that paper for a man but it works, brilliantly.
ReplyDeleteHaven't got a CriCut, mores the shame, never mind though it's a great prize, someone's going to be very happy, Yay xx
I love your card. I think cards for guys are hard. I have a crossword stamp that I like to use. Oh no that is one I rent. Well I can request it anytime. It is a great system.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip on Scrappy-go-Lucky. I enjoyed reading about Sophie. What a cutie!
I love that the hop is one place a day. You can spend more time at each blog.
Thanks for the sweet comment on my card.
Love to you,
Linda
Great tree En - I love it - fab mix of papers and shapes - brill! Cheers Claire x
ReplyDeleteCute card. I'll be hopping along on the blog hop. Was already over to see Mandy's post. Will be anxious to see what y'all come up with this week.
ReplyDeleteThis is a cute card. Masculine cards are so hard for me too.
ReplyDeleteThis is really fabulous En! Great idea for the non hobbyist. xxD
ReplyDeleteI love this card. That tree could be used for so many things. You always inspire me.
ReplyDeleteHmmm-the perennial man problem.I do like it En but think the men in my life would spot a touch of girliness there. They are so difficult to please-on the other hand I don't worry too much because as long as they like the pressie--------. Get my drift.Now I would be thrilled to receive that card-without the sentiment you understand! Hugs BettyXXX
ReplyDeleteVery cute card Enfys! Thanks for sharing with us. I found some of those tiny buttons at my Walmart last year. I haven't used a bunch, but they make really cute centers for Prima's little flowers.
ReplyDeleteIn regards my 'opinion' on my blog, I guess it really wouldn't matter about the warranty on my machine, as it's already over a year old - I can't imagine them fixing it now anyway. So I'll just keep my fingers crossed. :)
And thanks for the info on the pens drawing, and cutting. Thanks a bunch. Hugs, Jess
O how lovely is that card! :D
ReplyDeleteHi Enfys wow thats one stunning card, just right for the man who hasnt got any real hobbies, the tree is really just ideal for them, and the details youve put into it are fabulous. with love and hugs Shirleyxxx
ReplyDeleteGreat card, love the use of buttons!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really great card, love the colours and the tree is perfect for a no interest male. I have this problem every year for my father in law. I visited scrappy go lucky this morning as I always do when new post arrives and love the look of the blog hop and would really love some of those pens lol.
