Cards for Guys

Learn how to make masculine handmade cards using flowers, gel printing, paper weaving, and paper piecing. No masculine stamps needed, no masculine dies needed — just creative techniques with supplies you already have.

In my final AECP Level 2 class, Masking Unleashed, I explored how masking can add depth, layering, and clean design to handmade cards. I created two very different looks: a tranquil ink-blended leaf card with repeated masking, and a one-layer floral card combining masking, stamping, and pencil coloring. Masking is such a versatile technique — perfect for both bold and minimalist styles!

This clean & simple thank-you card packs a bold punch — with a little twist of the die. See how I made it and two more versions using the same die!

In this post, I explore the Polychromatic AECP class by embracing all the colors of the rainbow! Using the Travel Boots stamp set, vibrant inks, and the Eclipse Technique, I created a playful “Hike” card that’s bursting with color and dimension—a joyful contrast to my previous monochromatic creation.

Inspired by Mondrian and Indian sarees, this AECP Level 1 Challenge blends bold minimalism and vibrant elegance across two themed card sets — complete with handmade packaging and plenty of creative twists
