~Ribbon Inspiration/Stamp Simply Ribbon Store – Masculine~

February 25th, 2012 by

Hi Friends!

I’m back to the Saturday Ribbon Inspiration challenges :).   If you’ve arrived here from Deb Saaranen‘s Blog, then you’re in the right spot.  If not, I suggest that you start back on Sharon Johnson’s blog. This week we’re putting our focus on masculine cards.   I always feel a sense of great accomplishment when I can successfully create a masculine card.

Here’s what I’ve done today:

I have a house full of musicians, so I thought it would be great to come up with a quick and simple design for my notes to them.

I added a little surprise in the inside, too:

Here are my details:

Stamps:  JustRite Stampers’ Musical Notes Label Twenty set, JustRite Stampers’ Shabby Music Background

Colors: Chocolate Chip, My Mind’s Eye Paris & Co. dp

Ink: Chocolate Chip

Accessories: 1″ satin edge grosgrain ~ teal, 5/8″ double faced faux suede ~ brown, hardware, corner rounder, sticky tape, oval punch, hole punch, brayer.

    What a great masculine card! The hardware and subtle images are great for men, but then the ribbon is a great pop of color with no bow to look girly!!! Thanks for sharing!

    Great card- I love the music reference- I have lots of musicians in my life too.

  22. on 25 Feb 2012 at 09:3422 Diana N.

    Marvelous card! I sing and I’m always looking for musical cards. Love yours!

    Love the square brads. Great masculine card.

  25. on 25 Feb 2012 at 10:3525 Charlotte

    Great masculine card! I need to make a birthday card for my son-in-law who is a wonderful musician – so, your card has provided some great inspiration. LOVE all the metal accents, too. I never would have thought to stamp a musical note and encase it in the metal frame like that. I always use those for sentiments. Thanks so much for sharing!

    Fab card!

  27. on 25 Feb 2012 at 13:2827 MaryJo@Wichita

    Gorgeous masculine card, Holly! I love the color combo and the music theme!

  29. on 25 Feb 2012 at 15:1529 Rebecca Ednie

    I love the hardware and the layered ribbon. Very masculine. I love flat ribbon treatments in guy cards. My guys do NOT want bows.

  30. on 25 Feb 2012 at 15:1830 Caryn S.

    Well how could I say no to anything with music on it? That combination of ribbon on the front of the card is my favorite part!

  31. on 25 Feb 2012 at 15:2031 jean w.

    Holly what a neet card for your muscial family!

  32. on 25 Feb 2012 at 15:2532 Juanita in OH

    Hi Holly! This is just a handsome card too! I love the musical notes on the card and the great hardware. It really gives it such a masculine feel. I really need to check out these two stamps you have used. Great inspiration!!

    Great card . Love the clean style, and I really like that the inside has that finished look.

  44. on 28 Feb 2012 at 11:1444 marcelle

    Love the metal you used which makes this such a guy type card without the in your face man card. Simple and to the point, love it and thank you for that reminder to be simple.

  45. on 28 Feb 2012 at 11:2045 Karen in KY

    What a nice masculine card. And I love the musical references too!
