Masculine Holiday Cards


Good morning! It's Sarah here with a set of simple holiday cards perfect for the men on your shopping list. I find that the same ideas that keep card designs easy to mass produce are some of the best ideas for keeping a card man-friendly: clean embellishments, simple stamps, and uncluttered layouts. 

I started my cards with a classic die cut shape and a festive sentiment from Essential Holiday Elegance. I topped the labels off with 3D beer stickers from my stash, punched card stock holly leaves, and red bling berries. I chose the colors of the leaves and card bases with three color schemes in mind: a classic red and green, a frosty blue and red, and a warm, beer-inspired gold and red. Each of the 4bar size cards were stamped with the new Flurries background using coordinating colors for a subtle, snowflake effect and wrapped in red baker's twine.
