Today I have a masculine card to share. Is it only me, or is it hard to make cards for guys? I really wanted to add more to this card (at least some sparkle to the center star) but I tried to leave it simple.
I used my Big Shot and the Movers & Shapers die to cut the star from the Not Quite Navy layer. Next I added some Paper Piercing and distressing around the edge of that layer. I punched a More Mustard star with the Extra Large Star punch and a Cajun Craze star with my (retired) star punch. The entire Not Quite Navy layer and the More Mustard star are up on dimensionals.
I stamped the sentiment (ironically from the set Messages for Mom) with Jet Black StazOn ink directly onto the Twill Tape and added the More Mustard brads. One of my club members had the wonderful idea to add the star (extra from when we used the Movers & Shapers die) as the closure on the envelope.
Check back tomorrow to see what I created for the this week's Stampin' Celebration challenge!

I too struggle with making manly cards. I like pink and sparkles too much. LOL. This is a great guy card. Love the color combo.
