Ahoy!: Cards for Him

As a counterpoint to the watercoloring I’ve been doing, I’ve been creating masculine cards using inspiration from Catherine Pooler’s Creativity Grows Here Cards for Him Online Class

I really like to make variations when I’m putting ideas into practice, so starting with inspiration from the Nautical section of the class and adding a CAS lesson from Maureen Merritt, who’s part of the Stamp Nation Design Team, I created three cards!

With three men in my life (my husband and two sons), I’m often in need of masculine cards. I’ve always had a thing for anything nautical, starting with my first trip to the Pacific Ocean. I guess we didn’t pack a suitcase for me, so we went to May & Co. in San Diego and bought a nautical switsuit. I still remember it quite vividly, including its anchor belt! And I always like anything red, white and blue, especially this time of year.

  1. Nautical is such a great theme for masculine cards, and all three of your cards are awesome, Jean! I also love that you chose red, white, and blue, and your embossed backgrounds are the perfect touch!
