Card Class in July

 The first Wednesday each month is my Creative Card making class at the local library. We are so lucky having a library that is very community focussed and offers the opportunity for people to learn lots of new skills. So when I got the opportunity to take classes in card making at the library, I jumped at the chance. 

A group of 7 to 10 ladies comes along each month to make cards and they always go home with at least 3 cards (if we are not making cards for charity) and lots of ideas for making cards at home.

This month, we made cards for men and boys. Masculine cards always seem to be the ones that many people have problems with.

These are some of the cards made by the ladies this month.

Key tips for Masculine Cards:

• Choose colours that are most suitable for men and boys - blues, greens and browns are always good tones to think about.
• Keep the design reasonably simple.
• Look for background papers that have abstract designs, nature designs or themes such as fishing, sailing, hunting hiking etc.
• Use die cuts appropriate for men
  
• Use designs you may have used for other cards, but change the design by using the different papers and colours. 

Hope these tips might help you with your own masculine cards!
