Aloha everyone!
Welcome to the Inspire Create Share Blog Hop, where our theme this month is “It’s a Guy Thing.” Get ready to be inspired by a lineup of masculine card ideas!
Today I’m sharing this birthday card I created using a layout from the Card Templates section of the Annual Catalog (check out page 24 if you haven’t already!). I started with the simple layout on the top, second from the right, and gave it a masculine twist.
This buffalo plaid background from Everyday Happiness Designer Series Paper gives it that cozy, rustic feel — perfect for a guy card! I love how just a bit of texture and a strong color palette can really bring a simple layout to life.
📘 Tip: These card sketches are a great starting point when you’re feeling stuck or need to make a card quickly. Try flipping the layout or changing up the colors to suit your theme!
Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to continue along the hop to see what the rest of our creative team has designed for “It’s a Guy Thing.” You’re sure to leave with fresh inspiration!
