I don’t know why I’ve allowed myself to believe that masculine cards are difficult to create.  I love ribbons and flowers and lace as much as the next girl, but once I shifted my mind set I discovered I liked making Manly Cards:

• Extreme Elements, Friends Rock and Extreme Guitar stamp sets
• More Mustard, Cajun Craze, Night of Navy and Whisper White card stock
• More Mustard, Cajun Craze and Night of Navy Classic ink pads
• Oval punch; Metallic eyelets; Hemp twine; Stampin’ Sponge

I borrowed Extreme Elements from Kellie for my Manly 2-5-10 class and I was shocked.  How have I overlooked this stamp set?  These fabulous images work incredibly well together!!  Oh.  Well, duh.  It’s a Stampin’ Up! stamp set.  But still…how did I miss this?

You could emboss the Guitar Guy and stamp right on top of him…or change him to Skateboard Guy…or get out some markers and draw a moustache on him!  That would be kind of mean, wouldn’t it?  Maybe we should just stick to changing the color scheme, because there are dozens of combinations that would work.  This one came straight from the new Color Coach.
