This is the card I made for Craig for his Big 3 0 today. I find it difficult to make man cards, and I don't think he would appreciate some flowers and butterflies. What do you reckon?
Oh well here goes. I hope he likes it!

Firstly HAPPY BIRTHDAY Craig. Tina I can't believe that you have no comments on your besutiful mans card. Even if you took the name off it would still be a lovely card. I hope you have enjoyed your meal. Hazel xxx

Guy's cards are always hard. This is a great on though. Craig should be happy with this. Did you make the background paper yourself? Really like it.

Hi Janice
DeleteI was so sure I wrote to you last night, I must have written it and not posted it. Yes I did make the background paper. It's Sue Wilson's Faux leather effect, and thank you, yes Craig did like it.

Hi Lynda
DeleteThank you, Craig did like it. Why they don't like flowers, Butterflies and bow's. Would make card making easy.

Hi Tina,
ReplyDeleteI think Craig will love it and even more so that he can see that it was made just for him. I don't understand why these men don't like frills, ribbons and bows myself or even nice sparkles and dazzles but hey that is what makes them them i suppose. I hope that he has a great birthday flower and enjoys his jump into his 30's.
Love and crafty hugs

Hi Norah
DeleteHow are you?. I agree with you everyone needs a bit of sparkle in their life. We had a really lovely evening and ate lots, everyone had a couple of drinks except the birthday boy as he was driving. I don't know what it is about 30, I remember thinking my goodness I'm so old now.
Take care

Hi Tina,
ReplyDeleteJust noticed had an email to say you had a lovely new card! I think it's quite inspired! I love the rosette idea . It could be adapted for all sorts of things too. Mother's Day, Father's Day etc. I find it difficult to come up with ideas for the children's class on Mondays and this could be adapted! Thank you!
Hope Craig had. Lovely Birthday.
Thanks so much ,
Love Myra xx
Hi Myra
DeleteI would love to see what the children make, how ever you adapt it I hope they really enjoy themselves. Thank you Myra.

Hi Tina. This is a lovely card for a man. I love the background you have created and the mica flakes letters and numbers. Like you, I wish I could put flowers ect on their cards to !! To be honest I have actually, in the past, put Sue Wilsons Classic Bows on some of the men's cards I have made. So far, none of them have objected. Unless they are just being polite !! I hope your son had a lovely Birthday. Sending you lots of love from Tres x x x
ReplyDeleteThank you Tres, We had a lovely evening, and we have another one on Sunday as his sister couldn't make it on the day , so we are all getting together again, and the best bit is I'm only making the dessert. Deep joy!! hoping to put my feet up and be waited on. Watch this space. I think we ought to put a flower on the man cards and tell em to get over it.

Hi Tina, Thank you very much for the man's card idea. I hope Craig liked it. I have 5 Grandsons and three sons and I never have a clue where to start with a card for any of them - I'm afraid they have always had to do with a bought one.
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame especially with all the dies and stamps in the house. I must try harder - but I'm afraid I really enjoy making the pretty ones. Mary- Durham
Hi Mary
ReplyDeleteMy goodness so many males cards to make, I agree, carry on buying the man cards and just make the pretty ones. Hope you have a lovely Sunday watching Sue's shows.

Hello Tina,
ReplyDeleteI have looked on your blog every day but the last card was the one you made in the middle of January for your niece's engagement. Then, today, somehow I got onto this blog and found you again!! I am going to look at all the cards I've missed on this site, and hopefully will be able to find it again when I log out!!!
Male cards are very difficult, in fact so difficult I just send the same one to George every year, and have done for at least the past 20+ years - he's never noticed yet lol.
See you again, I hope, and off to look at your other cards. Oops, I forgot to say that a named card is a great idea.

Hi Maureen
ReplyDeleteLove your style, I don't think I could get away with asking for the card back so that I can give back to him next year, but it's my husbands birthday Wednesday and I know he won't remember. Thanks for the tip. Love it!

Hi hon. Im so behind with your blog ! Im so sorry. Having this order thrown at me plus hospital appointments has thrown me off a bit.
ReplyDeleteGlad Craig liked his card. Id rather buy Andy's cards, too hard keeping up with what to do when you've exhausted all 3 of his interests !! MEN !!
Love n hugs.
