Many people struggle making cards for men. Maybe because of this, I have a wealth of dies and stamps for ‘masculine’ cards. My dilemma when card making is not the gender of the recipient, it’s their relationship to me. Every year I need to come up with different design ideas and I try to utilise new card folds whenever I find ones I like. My New favourite, as regular visitors will have gathered by now, is the Pop up Easel Block card I first saw on Sam Calcotts Youtube channel via pinterest.

Here are two cards made for my eldest daughter’s husband and my youngest daughters partner, both using the above mentioned card fold but in different sizes and with different themes. For information on dies, stamps etc used and to see full size images, just click on any of the small images.
