Welcome to our NEW AT SU! Blog hop! I love being a part of this wonderful blog hop with other Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world. Each month we share different crafting ideas with all of you! This month we are highlighting masculine cards.
I needed fast and easy masculine cards for members of our family for their birthday. I needed them in a hurry as I had to get them out in the mail the next day. I knew I wanted to use designer series paper as it is a great focal point for any card. I used the In Good Taste designer series paper, from the annual catalog, which is perfect for masculine cards.
For the Happy Birthday sentiment, I wanted one that was on the bigger size. I found the perfect one in the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set. The Happiest of Birthday is one of the stamp sets that is on sale today, Wednesday, October 20th, during the 24 Hour Stamp Sale.
I couldn't decide if I wanted it to be the landscape or portrait layout. So, I made one of each. Which one do you like best?
To make this project you will need the following paper. For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Wood DSP is always a great choice for masculine cards and yours is uncomplicated and to the point . . . like most men!

"When in doubt, use wood grain" is a great motto for masculine cards, and yours looks so good!
