Today’s Blog Post features a card for the men.
It has been a long time since I have participated in a challenge just because….
I saw this Tic Tac Toe Challenge and thought I would play along.
You can see a full list of the products I used at the end of my post.
A Card For Men
I choose the line Die Cut, Masculine and Wood for my card.
The wood element comes from the Designer Series Paper mat on the card front , which features in the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper pack. I have given it a cork frame. I love this cork specialty paper. It has such texture and like cork, feels warm to the touch.
The cool selection of ties were also cut from different patterns from the Beauty of the Earth papers using the Suit & Tie dies. The centre tie has extra razzmatazz with the addition of gold sequins.
More die cutting. This time a small tag in Early Espresso with a cork reinforcer. The sentiment comes from the Handsomely Suited stamp set and was heat embossed in gold.
The wood frame with and ties were all added to an Early Espresso card base with more Designer Series paper as a mat.
I added a Basic White insert to the inside of the card, which I decorated with some strips of coordinating paper.
Chopped Challenge
I do love a good challenge. If you do too, you may be interested in taking part in October’s Chopped Challenge. Whether you live in the UK, Australia, Canade or the US, there is a demonstrator waiting to send you a kit from which you create a project. The entries are all added into a gallery and everyone is invited to vote for their favourite.
This month’s kit is looking like a great one to work with, so check out the details and get signed up (with me if you are in the UK).
How Can I Help?
I hope you enjoyed my project. I’m not sure whether my husband would appreciate those ties in his wardrobe. It is not very often he wears a tie these days. They are such beautiful papers though and are a fabulous collection for your male cards.
If you have any questions, or I can help you in any way on your crafty journey, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Meanwhile stay safe and stay well

What a fun way to feature leaves – those masculine ties would make for a dapper gent for sure! Love the added texture of the cork frame too. Thanks for sharing with us over at TicTacToe this week – so glad you played for fun!
