Two Cards

 

Well so far the snow has missed us….just us. Within about a 25 minute drive from here, they got dumped on. Roads are closed, hydro is out, school buses are cancelled and scads of accidents. However, we did get the cold wind and I do mean cold. Next week it will be way above the freezing mark. The odd weather continues.

Today I’m posting two cards as they are pretty much alike. These made great cards for teenage boys.

Both cards have a brick wall background made from an old embossing folder. I left the bottom bit unembossed so it would look like the floor. The tub was die cut and grunged up. The rivets are Tim Holtz eyelets. The presents are from an old Tim H die set as well. The sentiment is a black peel-off. They were quick and easy but perfect for teenage boys.

That’s all for a cold and windy Wednesday.

Masculine Cards

 

It’s mid November already! Time is marching by faster and faster. I’m finally getting over this virus I’ve had for over a month. Maybe I’ll get caught up on my crafting…..haha….never happening.

Today I’m posting two cards because they are so similar.

 

As you can see, these are quick and easy cards and ideal for men or teenage boys. The backgrounds are left over strips of paper glued to a card base, one green and one black. The presents were made from scraps; the edges were inked as were the bows. These were die cut from an old Tim Holtz die that has served me well. They were glued on in various angles just to add some fun to the cards. Cards for boys and men are a struggle but these ones fit the bill nicely.

That’s all for a dreary, wet Friday.

Cheers
