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
one of my basic efforts x

.. 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.

great ideas for cards here, why are men so difficult - in more ways than just cards eh :P
A card for all golfers out there!
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!

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!!!!!!!)

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.
Lovely cards girls
Men cards are always so hard to make! But you girls found the way!
a card made for my friend's DH, he has no hobbies so was quite difficult!! Got there in the end. :)
lovely cards ladies
Just added a mans card to my blog

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 :)

More fab cards from you all!
Here's a card i think would be suitable for a male, although it could be used for anyone really.

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

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!!
