OK I'll be brave and add the first, using a Pip Stamps Away stamp and some free papers, and some larger brads as accents

[CharlieDK]

.. his major interest is pistol shooting and he is very talented and has participated in several internal competitions. Now he has also met a nice girl with the same interests and I wanted my card to show a romantic bulls eye. :lol: Layout of card inspired by Monica from the SU card thread.

Used several QK circles on top of each other, a brad with a heart, tiny arrows from the QK clock and QK Maggie. Patterned paper somes from a pad called s.e.i. Dill Blossom paper stack.

Thanks for looking and sorry - I have not yet mastered the img-thing. :rolleyes:

Card for at b-day to a gentleman who is into making honey and applecider. Lucky me he did not also collect stamps - not sure where I would have incorporated that! LOL My lovely QK dies did most of the work - took some time to train the bee to do "skye writing" but at last it worked to my satisfaction. No idea when or where I bought the bee-ribbon and not why either - but JUST what I needed here. Thanks for looking.

Have added a manly retro card to my blog :)

[anna m]

A card for all golfers out there!

[IslaBella]

I'm embarrassed to show this - but hey ho - it's my first attempt at a card for a man - not as much fun as the girlie ones!

[Biscuitlid]

Ok I'm going to be brave and post some of my cards here, only the second time I've done this so here goes....

Had to make some male cards for the weekend (can't believe I have used peel offs!!!!!!!)

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n38/biscuitlid/cards/birthdaycardbluespinner.jpg

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n38/biscuitlid/cards/nestiescircles30thblue.jpg

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n38/biscuitlid/cards/30thgoldandpeeloffseeeeek.jpg

The blue spinner was done using nestabilities and plasma card I got from the NEC a few years ago, hanging on silver thread so it sins round when card opens. An idea I stole with pride from a friend of mine.

The blue 30th card uses a selection of nestabilities cut out at random with the matching sized pieces stuck inside the card. I used a foam stamp I got free with a mag ages ago.

The black one not only uses peel offs (my pet dislike I'm afraid) but I also smuggled in a bit of Bibster acetate ...ssshhhhhh don't tell anyone I used it!

Our "Jack-of-all-trades" just turned 30 and this is his card. He organized lunch for everybody (but seems to stick with the same food himself), drinks Coca Cola, takes care of all the outgoing mail and all the other stuff we just couldn't live without someone doing for us. AND he recently bought his very first NEW car, a tiny blue one. This is his card from all of us. 30 and the car is metallic - but it doesn't show here.
A salami sandwich this time with fried onions. Used the base of the wagon KS-0321 as a mailcontainer. Used 10 QK dies and a couple of punches.

[Craftylollie]

Lovely cards girls

[Dakota.joe]

Men cards are always so hard to make! But you girls found the way!

[SamG]

a card made for my friend's DH, he has no hobbies so was quite difficult!! Got there in the end. :)

[Susie sunshine]

Just added a mans card to my blog (http://susiesunshines.blogspot.com/)

Made this for our Scottish friend Jack. Tried to match the card to his tartan colours. Added a silver "chain" to hold the sporran - as QK had forgotten that :nono:. Perhaps they have never seen a kilt IRL :)

[Susie sunshine]

More fab cards from you all!

... please feel free to drop by and visit. And if you feel like it - leave me a comment - I looooove comments. :D

B-day cards and baby cards are the most recent ones.

.. and Tracy - that is a really prette and fun card. TFS

[CharlieDK]

.. BUT could just as well have been for a grown man supporting a team.

I used the QK hiking boots and tried to alter them into soccer/football shoes. They look a bit BIG - but I wanted
to keep the holes for the laces.

[Ness72]

WOW, I have only just registered on this wonderful site, and I have to say, I absolutely LOVE your Hubby card too Tracy! I adore the colour combo, and I guess, being an Aussie girl, the paper you have used looks quite unique to the indigenous Australians. Love it, love it, love it!!

[tracygough]

Thanks Ness72, welcome to the UKS, i hope you'll share some of your creations with us too.

[Valentine]

Welcome to UKS Ness72! xxx

A couple more male birthday cards HERE (http://valentines-sharni-clair.blogspot.com/2008/11/busy-november.html) xxx

[~~Lynne~~]

Love the colours in your gorgeous card Tracy:)

Welcome Ness72 :)

[Ness72]

Thank you all for your kind welcome. I'll be sure to put some of my creations on soon, although, like all crafters, I doubt my own creative abilities. I always have trouble getting ideas for Masculine Cards, and the creations here are just gorgeous, so it might get my creative juices flowing. Thanks :)

[SamG]

Hi all, a birthday card I made for my Dad. :)

[craftybarb]

Love your card Tracey (in fact I love all your work!). How did you cut out the hubby - I can't tell from the pic if its actually cut out of the front of the card or are my eyes deceiving me?

Barb x

[tracygough]

Great card Sam!

Thanks Barb, yes 'Hubby' is cut out of the front of the card, i cut it with the Cricut using the design studio.

[craftybarb]

Thanks for the reply Tracey - you are so clever!! I have the SCAL programme but havn't really got to grips with it yet. Can you do this type of card on that? and is there anywhere I could get a quick tutorial? Thanks for your help.

Barb x

[tracygough]

I don't have SCAL, but i'm sure it can be done. Have you asked for help on the SCAL social group?

[craftybarb]

No that's a great idea thanks Tracey

Barb x

[DingPot]

Wow! These cards are great! What a great job done :) Thank you for sharing your ideas!

I am new to UKS, and I am looking forward to getting to know you all! There is so much inspiration here!

[jemo68]

More fabby cards ladies, I find it awkward doing cards for men, I never seem to find the right subject, but I have come across some sheets called 'flippin men' that look fun to do, might give them a go

DH birthday card - let's see if I can get this to work.http://http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/data/501/thumbs/P1020833-2.jpg (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=189254)

[Ruth Howard]

I made this card for a work colleagues son whose birthday is tomorrow, unfortunately I design and craft a lot using the cricut and design studio, I never had a cut file for what she wanted so I asked my friend from over the pond to design me the cut file, which she was happy to do. Thank you JenC for your amazing cut file and for taking the time to design it for me, I think the young man for whom it's for will love it, again thank you.

The cut file is designed using 'George and Basic Shapes' now if you would like this cut file you will need to visit JenC's blog (http://jensbrainthings.blogspot.com/)and request it.

I added the finishing touches from the photo Jen sent me for which she designed the cut file on. The Happy Birthday was made using Pooh font, which gives it a great touch.

I always find masculine cards difficult to make.
Here is one I made for my nephew : a 3D image and some embroidery.

[TinkerHamilton]

Hello everyone. Not posted in here before but thought you might like to see a card I made for my brother. We're both of a certain age now, but its never stopped us teasing each other. HERE (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=192326&ppuser=33513)

[ktmc]

Hi, just wanetd to add this card. It is for my brother who races F2 sidecars as a hobby. I absolutely love this paper from Bo Bunny, I NEED to get some more now to make some scrapbook pages of his racing.

[heatherblossom]

hello:) i don't often make cards and rarely make them for men but with my dads birthday coming up i thought i'd better make an effort! here it is. i stamped the image onto vellum, embossed it with white embossing powder,coloured in various bits on the back:)

That is a lovely card! I am the same ... but I go a step further and try and avoid making men's cards at all costs :lol:

However ... I have just made this!

Thank you and congratulations on that weight loss X

[Jill3]

Hi fellow crafters! Never posted on this part of UKS before, I tend to lurk in the Craft Robo section but have sometimes popped in to see what you are all making.

Anyway thought I would post this card I've just made as, like most people I find inspiration for cards for men difficult. Made this mainly with my Robo but if you have other machines or you are good at cutting out it may be useful as an idea. The recipient is a HGV driver so he has lots of gears!!:lol:

[just_a_bean]

Love the cogs!

Here's my effort at a Male card - I just struggle so simple is best for me! It's for a guy who does Monster Truck racing!

[Rhona]

Any other cards are a breeze to make in comparison ... but here are a few of my latest efforts in the man card department. :D

The car is decoupaged.

[heatherblossom]

[tracygough]

Heather, maybe something like this? Obviously with Happy Birthday and Son. It's very simple but it was for a man. :lol:
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg177/camsmum96/Happyfathersday.jpg

[heatherblossom]

wow, Tracey, that is fab! did you have a die for it or make it from scratch?

[tracygough]

Thanks Heather, I cut the laptop on my Cricut, would you like me to cut you one?

[heatherblossom]

that would be fab, thank you very much.:)

[craft fairy]

Thanks. Was looking for inspiration for nephews 21st birthday card and think I will work on the cut out circles idea. That's brilliant. Thanks.

[tracygough]

Hi all,

I have found mens cards really hard and hope you enjoy my attempts.

Many thanks
leighx

[JAniemay]

I've always found mens cards difficult to do but had a flash of inspiration when doing a card for mt cousin's 50th Birthday. So here it is. The front of the card is shaped but the back is straight sided, it's there just to make the card stand up.As it is made from silver card it didn't photograph very well but I think you will 'get the picture', so to speak!

I have to make a lot of male cards having two sons. Here is one I made for my eldest using Cherry Pie Art stamps recently.

[simplyme]

Here's a card I made this morning for a challenge blog called cards for men. Could be used for boys or men though :D
