Hey there my crafty friends! Welcome to the last Seize the Birthday challenge for 2024. Barb is our host for this one and she's chosen a Topping that I personally think is a challenge for many of us. Masculine. I was happy to be pushed into making a guy card because I tend to skip them in my regular crafting schedule.
Now before you go calling me sexist, let me add a disclaimer.
This could totally be a gal card as well. I just so happen to know several
real life girlfriends who can absolutely put down a six pack, no prob!
Trust me, I've been a witness. LOL!!! But for today, it's totally masculine.
I began my design by die cutting the six beer steins/pilsners from white cardstock and then used my Copic markers to create the look of beer. The heads of foam were cut from the same white cardstock. I arranged the beers three on three onto black cardstock and added a white heat embossed sentiment in the middle. I used a postage die to cut the focal and added it to an embossed yellow card base.
Happy Beer-day to Some Yet to Be Determined Human of Male Gender!
Supplies:
MFT - Pint Sized die set
MFT - A Toast to You stamp set
Simon Says Stamp - Lumen embossing folder
Thanks so much for joining me today. I invite you to visit our blog for more masculine inspiration. Have a wonderful holiday season and I'll see you back here for more STB fun in 2025!

Hahaha! I loved reading your blog post for this challenge. It really is a challenge to make a masculine card. Here you have succeeded in making a card that could be used for both genders. Good thing that you have girlfriend that will fit that bill. A great way to use a talent or skill for that person as the theme of the card. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteTotal fun masculine card - Have a great holiday
ReplyDeleteNailed it! This turned out great, Jules!
ReplyDeleteI think we all struggle a bit making masculine cards. This is a great card for the men in our life but also could be used for the gals too. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteCheers! I'd love a bottomless celebration lol! Great card and hope you have a wonderful Christmas, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, as long as the sender and receiver love it, nothing else matters! But I do love the look of all those glasses and the perfect punny sentiment for that. Awesome card, Jules!
ReplyDeleteIt's so hot here at the moment I could down at least one of those! I wish I'd bought that die set from MFT - looks fab on the yellow and black!
